Kings of Boston Sports



It looks like Bill Belichick knew exactly what he was doing when he cut Josh Gordon from the team. Belichick clearly could not trust him after he messed up last year and now it appears his career is over. According to Adam Schefter,The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver has been banned indefinitely for violating the leagues policies again after numerous suspensions in the past that have cost Gordon a large chunk of his career. This will be a major setback for the Seahawks and would have been extremely damaging for the Patriots had Belichick not cut ties with him when he did.

The Seahawks were the only team that put in a waiver claim for Gordon after he was released by the Patriots.
