Do people not remember Starcaps at all?

Gordon could still play the entire year under a state court injunction. I would wait until he files and gets a ruling from the state court before considering whether to drop him.


Im not a lawyer, but the circumstances are not similar, at all.

The circumstances do not have to be similar. The major ruling out of Starcaps was that a federal court found that the NFL is bound by state drug testing laws.

If Gordon's lawyers can find an Ohio drug testing law that the NFL ostensibly ran afoul of (including something like sample preservation or chain of custody), then they can file suit and ask for an injunction.

They might lose, but they could let him play in the interim.

Here is a good timeline for Starcaps:

They would have to go through the same process in Ohio state court.
