Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Browns and Gordon are awaiting word on how long he'll be suspended
for testing positive for marijuana, as reported by ESPN. Gordon's agent, Drew Rosenhaus is in the process of appealing the suspension, which could be an indefinite ban. If Gordon is suspended indefinitely, he'll have to apply for re-instatement with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The team signed veteran receivers Miles Austin and Earl Bennett last week. They also released Greg Little. It all falls into line with Pettine's claim the team had a plan to deal with the situation. "The situation didn't call for panic,' he said. "That's something we weren't going to do." We'll suggest fantasy football owners should also have a plan in place to deal with the situation.
