After a tumultuous few months, former Detroit Lions wide receiver, Josh Gordon, has once again found himself without a team. The Buffalo Bills announced on Monday that they have released Gordon after a brief stint with the team following his suspension for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.
Gordon, a former Pro Bowler, was initially suspended by the league in December for placing bets on games, a violation of the league’s strict rules against gambling. The suspension was set to last for the remainder of the 2021 season, and Gordon was not eligible to participate in any team activities during that time.
Despite the setback, Gordon remained hopeful for a return to the field and began training in preparation for a comeback. In January, he signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills, hoping to revive his career and make a fresh start with a new team.
However, things quickly took a turn for the worse for Gordon as he struggled to find his footing with the Bills. In his short time with the team, he recorded just three receptions for 45 yards in four games. His performance on the field was lackluster, and he failed to make a significant impact for the team.
The Bills ultimately decided to part ways with Gordon, opting to cut ties with the troubled receiver rather than take a chance on him moving forward. The decision to release Gordon was a difficult one for the team, but they felt it was necessary in order to maintain the integrity of the organization and focus on their playoff push.
Gordon’s future in the NFL is once again uncertain, as he now finds himself without a team for the second time in less than a year. Despite his talent and potential, his off-field issues continue to overshadow his abilities on the field, making it difficult for teams to take a chance on him.
As for Gordon, he remains determined to continue his football career and prove that he can overcome his past mistakes. However, it remains to be seen if he will be given another opportunity in the league or if his time in the NFL has come to an end.
In the meantime, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see what the future holds for Josh Gordon and whether he will be able to overcome his personal struggles and find success in the NFL once again.
