Report: Gordon files grievance against Browns for potentially costing him millions

Browns receiver Josh Gordon won't play during the 2015 season, but he'll keep himself busy fighting the suspension that ended his 2014 season.

The NFL Players Association has reportedly filed a grievance on Gordon's behalf regarding his one-game suspension at the end of the 2014 season, which cost Gordon an accrued season and potentially millions of dollars, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Northeast Ohio Media Group:

"Gordon, who's currently serving a minimum one-year suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy, was suspended for the final game of the season for missing the walk-through the day before the season finale in Baltimore.

Gordon's one-game suspension, which followed on the heels of his minimum year-long ban being reduced to 10 games, cost him the sixth game necessary for an accrued season.

That means if the suspension stands and Gordon returns to the field in 2016, he won't be eligible for unrestricted free agency until after the 2017 season, instead of after the 2016 season."

The NEOMG report also states that Gordon's camp will argue that other players on the Browns repeatedly broke team rules and were not suspended and that the Browns looked for reasons to suspend Gordon so they could retain his rights through 2017.
