The proposed policy will include human growth hormone testing for the first time, as well as make significant changes that raise limits for marijuana testing and expand neutral arbitration, sources said.
The two sides still have some disagreement on proposed issues, but the NFLPA agreed to take the league's latest proposal to the player reps for a vote. The union informed the majority of its player reps Monday evening of the development. Four others are involved in the Monday night double-header.
One late sticking point is that the league has received complaints and concerns from owners regarding possible reinstatement for recently suspended players such as Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns and Wes Welker of the Denver Broncos, who would not have been suspended under the proposed policy. Those owners were displeased that a new agreement would not necessarily alter the standing of their own suspended players.
Nevertheless, there are numerous unidentified players in the league's substance-abuse program who would benefit from the changes, sources said.

But he may get reinstated this year?
This is coming from as big a "free JG" proponent as there is, but I still think it's funny he might get reinstated. Since when are punishments in any aspect of life not dolled out based on the time of the infractions?
PLEASE DONT READ THIS OWNERS!!!

that's bullshite. How can you begin a new season with new drug policies and have players suspended under old rules?

Owners that dont own Cleveland might think it's unfair if he gets off and their guy doesnt

that's the point, it's not unfair......
It would be under the new rules.
How many others tested positive for weed and had such a low threshold? If there are others, then yes, they should be reinstated as well.
It's already been explained in depth...it's not like they'll be giving him a free pass just because it's Josh Gordon. He and Welker have situations where they wouldn't face a suspension under the new policy
ETA: Just like Welker, Scandrick would also not be suspended

I think Robert Mathis would also get reinstated. Maybe Irsay will be allowed back.

Mathis is done for the year

He would still be reinstated even though he's out for the year due to injury.

how so? There's no way that many people got popped for amphetamines or tested so close to the 15.0 threshold
