Probably not. You're probably some sort of snake oil scam salesman.
But, it has little to do with the conversation. You're in a different boat than Gordon or htismaqe. Gordon made a trade-off when he joined the league, one that he knew about fully when he entered. The same goes for htismaqe. Htismaqe is fulfilling his agreement. Gordon did not. [Reply]

I have health insurance, set money aside for retirement, play in the stock market how I want to. I can't quite think what any one company could offer me at this point to work for them.

Drugs and alcohol are colloquially called demons for a reason and they have to be actively fought.
Fair enough.
At this point I can understand that view too. I don't think there is one right opinion and Josh Gordon will need to right his ship. [Reply]
NFLPA determined Josh Gordon has successfully completed his NFL-monitored treatment program and has recommended to the NFL that he be reinstated, per sources. Gordon is awaiting final approval from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, but he is said to be ready to play and vaccinated.

After seeing how the League doesn’t give a shit about any off the field problems, I say just bring in the most talented players and keep them as long as they’re productive and aren’t causing issues in the locker room.
As of right now if Tyreek or Kelce get hurt we are completely screwed. Gordon at least requires a little bit of attention from the opposing defense. [Reply]
You've got to be kidding. Oh sure, he might be what we need at WR behind Hill. That is until he relapses again (and he WILL relapse again) and then he's just a big fucking distraction.

Not no, but hell no.
If it's what everyone is already expecting to happen it isn't that big of a distraction when it does happen IMO.
So I kinda remove that part from the equation and just realize he's Sammy Watkins with a drug problem instead of a broken body. Don't rely on him, don't expect him to contribute too much, do expect him to miss time and take him for the couple of weeks a year he's going to make a big difference hopefully? [Reply]
