Report: Suspended Gordon wants to play in 2020
Suspended wide receiver Josh Gordon intends to play this upcoming season, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Gordon received the sixth ban of his career in December due to violations of the league's policies on performance-enhancing drugs and substance abuse.
The 28-year-old split 2019 between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, catching 27 passes for 426 yards and one touchdown.
Despite the new rules on marijuana that were recently passed as part of the new collective bargaining agreement, the wideout will be subject to the previous rules for reinstatement, added Fowler.
If Gordon's indefinite suspension is lifted, he would become an unrestricted free agent for the first time.
The receiver hinted that he's interested in a reunion with the Seahawks in a tweet Monday:
Idk if I’m allowed to be a free agent, but if I was; I like those bright green uni’s. 😂 😉
