Gordon, 29, has applied for reinstatement to
the NFL and is waiting for an answer from the league. Gordon was
suspended for the sixth time last December for violation of the
league's policies on performance-enhancing drugs and substances
of abuse.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Thursday the NFL hasn't
informed the club when Gordon might be reinstated. He said
Gordon's "positive impression" on the team last season is the
reason the franchise was willing to roll the dice bringing him
back.
The deal would be worth just over $1 million, the NFL Network
reported.
The Seahawks claimed Gordon in November after he was released by
the New England Patriots. Gordon played in five games (one
start) for Seattle, catching seven passes for 139 yards before
being suspended on Dec. 16.
A second-round pick by Cleveland in the 2012 Supplemental Draft,
Gordon has 247 career receptions for 4,252 yards and 20
touchdowns in 63 games with the Browns (2012-14, 2017-18),
Patriots (2018-19) and Seahawks.
He earned All-Pro first-team honors and made the Pro Bowl in
2013 with a league-leading 1,646 yards on 87 catches in 14
games.
Gordon subsequently was suspended in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018 and
2019, and he missed the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons.
