Is there confirmation of that or is it just speculation from everyone?

I wasn't for us signing him but not a big deal that they decided to..

If it doesn't work out just cut him and move on.

can he play defense?

You guys think Josh Gordon can play DE?

Same thing I said in the first Gordon thread - this guy was as close to the league has to Julio Jones when his head was screwed on right.

He's not a bad guy - he was just a drunk. And if he's reinstated, evidently he's convinced enough people that he's past that. And if so, if there's any gas in the tank at all, he can offer something we don't have.

His teammates all seem to want him to succeed. His talent was so undeniable that even a decline (hell, a significant decline) would still be a genuine NFL caliber player. And he's like 18 months older than Pringle is.

I feel like Kemp and/or Pringle did some damage to their standing last week. And if the Chiefs think Gordon can make a contribution, they're smart to take the (extremely minimal) risk.

My dude said basically everything I was going to say...

Dude is an addict. That takes a toll on you, but plenty of people with addiction have gotten a handle on it and made things work.

The comparison that comes to mind for me is a baseball one - Josh Hamilton. Before the addiction, truly uniquely gifted athlete. After the addiction, even at 80 percent of his physical abilities, still a great player.

Gordon was so freakishly athletic that even if he is only 80 percent of what he was before, he still can be a really effective player.

Single high S.

What is the downside to this?

When the guy is on the field he's good and we need depth.

Some of you are losing your minds.

Hey, should hopefully work out better than the Kelvin Benjamin experiment.

Honestly, even 50% could make a difference over Robinson/Pringle/Etc.

Assuming he can keep his shit together.

Soooo.....We're pretty much unstoppable now, right?

Andy's "trip to the hospital" was actually an undercover raid to score some high grade medical marijuana.

The turn this place has taken in two weeks should be studied by multiple human behavioral scientists on a 24/7 loop ROFL

This isn't fair to Pringle. HE JUST GOT HIS DAMN ENDORSEMENT DEAL!!!
