The Kansas City Cheifs have informed wide receiver Josh Gordon that he will be released from the roster. NFL teams have until four p.m. on Tuesday to trim their rosters to 53 men in preparation for the start of the regular season. The team gave Gordon another shot in the NFL last season when they needed depth at the wide receiver position. He began his NFL career with the Cleveland Browns and then spent time with the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Gordon has served multiple suspensions for various reasons over the course of his career.
The #Chiefs are releasing WR Josh Gordon, per source.
Gordon has shown great character on the field and in the community since he got to Kansas City and the team is open to him returning. But it’s a numbers game right now and he’s the odd man out. pic.twitter.com/voVS4Hpubo

Last season as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, Josh Gordon caught five passes for 32 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets. After missing a lot of time in his prime years, Gordon is in the decline of his career. While it is currently unclear if this will be the end of his career if it is it is unquestionable that he was incredibly talented on the field. Time will likely tell if he will get another shot in the NFL.
