If they go with the full 1 year ban it will start as soon as they announce it. Therefore it would roll into next preseason.

Is it a calendar year ban?
Thought it just meant that he'd miss one season.

From everything I've read it's a 365 day ban from the NFL. Which is why the longer they wait the more it hurts him. However, I don't believe they are going to enforce the full year ban..... If they were they would have announced it already.

Yeah it's 365 days. They will really be screwing with the browns if they give him a full year this late.

The NFL has been slow. They're also holding off on Aldon Smith's punishment. It could be to research the punishment in light of a possible court of arbitration appeal, or just a deliberate time wasting measure to ensure no appeal can happen before the season.

One of the Browns' "fan blogs" posted an interesting argument that the NFL wants to settle but Gordon's team thinks they can get off with nothing.

Basically saying they are prepared to take the NFL to court to fight this and drag it out. Obviously the NFL doesn't want that and is willing to settle.

I guess it's going to be whatever side budges first.
