A person familiar with Gordon’s situation says the suspended wide receiver wants to play in the Canadian Football League, but is prohibited from doing so. Under CFL rules, a player suspended by the NFL and under contract is not eligible to play in Canada. But if the Browns released Gordon, he would be able to play elsewhere.

During a conference call held after his signing with the Browns was announced, quarterback Robert Griffin III said that he would like to play with Baylor teammate Josh Gordon in Cleveland.

Gordon feels the same way as Griffin. Gordon replied to a tweet from PFT about Griffin’s comments by writing “would be nice” on Thursday afternoon.

Gordon caught 42 passes for 714 yards and seven touchdowns while playing with Griffin at Baylor in 2010. Gordon transferred to Utah in 2011 after a failed drug test, but never suited up for the Utes before being selected in the 2012 supplemental draft.

While we don’t doubt that he’d like to play with his college teammate again, Gordon might feel that way about playing with any quarterback after sitting out the entire 2015 season while serving a suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Gordon has applied for reinstatement, but NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said this week that no meeting has been set up to discuss if Gordon will be eligible to return to the Browns.
