Receiver Josh Gordon is suspended from the NFL. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t be playing football this year.

Per a league source, Gordon has asked the Browns for permission to play in the CFL for the balance of the Canadian league’s season. Permission is required because Gordon remains under contract with the Browns.

Here’s the relevant language, from paragraph 3 of the NFL Player Contract: “Without prior written consent of the Club, Player will not play football or engage in activities related to football otherwise than for Club or engage in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury.”

"A CFL official said that, under its rules, Gordon would not be eligible to play because teams are prohibited from signing a suspended player of any league who is under contract with his league."

He's not allowed to play in the CFL via the CFLs own rules.

There was barely any pot in his system, it was a small enough trace that it didnt even come up as positive in a second test.

If he quit the team ,he could then come up here. Another suspended player is here because he was released by the team.

Car sales wasn't beneath him, but the CFL was.
