Mychal Kendricks is guilty of insider trading, cut by Browns, signed by Seattle. He admitted his guilt and he is going to jail, code of conduct. LOL

Can't play ball at that level while drunk and/or stoned. Not possible, at least anymore

Move on with his life? If he has ANY chance of another year or two and pull in a couple million.. why walk away from that now? I dont see how his substance abuse will disappear any easier outside of football. if anything.. football makes him try his hardest to stay clean. but maybe he actually makes some money if he gets signed, right? i think he was still on rookie contract with Browns? like 700k this year?

What's he up to now? One kid I know from HS actually showed up trashed to his finals- puking everywhere. Now he's a doctor.

At times, there should be more seen than the potential financial gain within a situation. Walking away from money could be the best thing a person can do.

Why do they automatically assume substance abuse? It could be CTE. Sign him.

Guys, he's not just an alcoholic and occasional marijuana user. He's a hardcore addict who's still actively using. He CANNOT play football.
"I’ve used alcohol on many, many occasions, Xanax on many occasions, cocaine several occasions, marijuana most of my life, codeine, cough syrup, methazine is very prevalent where I’m from,” Gordon says. “It’s what I grew up using.”

The issue is why. He appears to have legit mental health and anxiety issues.
Rather than being labelled and addict or asshole by the NFL and fans, I'd like to see him treated for his apparently real mental health and anxiety issues.
Maybe just maybe, if the NFL had helped him that way instead of just suspending like any other pothead, he wouldn't be st another crossroads.
People with legit mental health and anxiety issues should be put on the non-injury reserve list not treated like simple drug addicts.

Ffs, he drinks/smokes too much ergo it's his employers fault; serious or no?
