Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has been working at a local car dealership to pass time during his suspension. So when it was announced that he would be allowed to once again be around the team thanks to the restructured NFL substance-abuse policy, you had to assume Gordon would give up his part-time gig.

Well, we were all wrong.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Gordon will continue to work at the car dealership while he waits for his ten-game suspension to end.
“Josh (Gordon) is still going to be with us, but his schedule is going to change. Football is the main part of his life,” Alex Sarchione, who owns the car dealership, told Rapoport. “I wish people could know Josh Gordon like we know him. We’ve enjoyed every minute of it.”
Perhaps Gordon is still waiting to sell his first car which Sarchione says has not happened yet.
It would be fun and easy to crack some jokes about Gordon’s situation, but it is actually shows some maturity from Gordon which has to be a positive sign moving forward.
