The Facts: Gordon entered a not guilty plea in his DUI case Thursday in a virtual appearance in Denver County Court.
Diehards Line:
Gordon's next hearing is scheduled for Feb. 24 with a potential jury trial on April 8 if the case is not resolved before then. Gordon, who could still face league discipline in the 2021 season, was arrested Oct. 13 in downtown Denver for DUI and was also cited for speeding -- between 25 and 39 mph over the legal limit. Gordon signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Broncos during the last offseason. He led the Broncos in carries (215), rushing yards (986) and rushing touchdowns (nine) this past season. Gordon still faces the potential of league discipline as well as the potential newly hired general manager George Paton could move to void $6.5 million worth of guaranteed money for 2021 in Gordon's deal because of the arrest or move on from Gordon overall if a three-game suspension is eventually handed down. Two weeks after his arrest, Gordon had said: "I am sorry I was even in the situation ... Obviously I try to do my best to walk a straight line and lead by example, things like that. I'm a little upset I even put myself in that situation. ..."
