Heard mention that Gordon's suspension went from a year to 10 games and Welker should be available this week. What about Browner? His suspension was for marijuana as well.
Call me crazy, but I'm not a fan of the HGH testing that was just agreed upon. Reduced recovery time for major injuries is a good thing, in my book.
I understand the argument against it: it's enough of an advantage that some players will feel compelled to use it, even with the effects of long-term use still largely unknown and potentially harmful. But I think the era of nine-month ACL recoveries is just about over.

If a spot doesn't open up among the top 5 wide receivers, then they'll just cut Tyms. They're not going to cut a co-#2 TE in favor of a #6 WR.I wonder what they'll do with Tyms. I'm assuming they'll be an exemption for this week, but assuming no injuries they'll have to make a cut somewhere. Hoomanwanui?

This is a distraction, nothing more. The NFL has been saying they wanted this done for a long time and suddenly when the sh.t is hitting the fan they manage to hammer out a deal in short time and gain the headlines. I'm fine with them getting a deal done but the timing is as suspect as it gets.

It's so obvious that many players are on HGH. Look for the blown up head size like Hines Ward… Ndomakong Suh, Terrell Suggs, look very suspect. HGH is going to be it's out scandal eventually.
I also think about half the league will fail HGH tests unless they find a way around it.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT NFLPA BOARD OF PLAYER REPRESENTATIVE VOTE ON DRUG POLICIES
“The Board of Player Representatives gave the NFLPA authority to complete new drug policies with the League consistent with detailed term sheets the players reviewed. We hope to have final agreements, including effective date for players with adjusted discipline, very soon.”
-- NFL Players Association

And they're going to hand one of those positions to a guy who hasn't even practiced with the team in two weeks?That depends. If the Pats offense doesn't do a little better than 30 net yards, 4 punts, 2 fumbles and 1 first down in the first six possessions of a half, there will be a lot of positions opening up.
