NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell got to look Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon in the eye as they talked about whether the oft-suspended player is worthy of another chance.
Goodell and Gordon met Wednesday regarding the former All Pro’s attempt to return to the league, a source familiar with the situation confirmed Thursday. NFL Network first reported the rendezvous, a step in the process of Gordon attempting to gain re-entry into the league.
Gordon has been banished from the NFL since Feb. 3, 2015, because of recurring violations of its substance-abuse policy. He’ll be eligible to apply for reinstatement Aug.
