Facing indefinite suspension from the league for another substance abuse policy violation apparently.

New England is finished.

Hopefully Gordon is not.

Sad story.

Don't think Blackmon wanted to come back.
As far as I heard, he got in trouble once more while suspended and never applied for reinstatement.

I believe Gordon attended rehab facilities.

Blackmon basically walked away, and did not look back.

For Gordon's sake, I hope he gets things figured out. Maybe that involves life without football. Sounds like he's gonna have some time to sort that question out.

It's just weed.

The NFL's gotta tone down their policy.

Or make drinking alcohol a drug offense.

Gordon wanted to come back. Blackmon doesn't. If Blackmon really wanted to come back, he could have by now.

You have to pass a drug test before you can come back.  Blackmon couldnt
