RENTON — Like almost everybody connected with the Seahawks, veteran linebacker K.J. Wright had only begun to get to know Josh Gordon before the news came down Monday that the team would have to say goodbye.
The league announced Monday that Gordon was indefinitely suspended for using both performance enhancing drugs and substances of abuse. It was the eighth league or team suspension of Gordon’s career since 2012 — and one that might finally end it — and as such could hardly be considered a complete surprise.
But to Wright and others in the Seattle locker room, the news still hit hard.
