KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Just when many thought that the Kansas City Chiefs could not get any stronger than they already were, the team has announced that Josh Gordon will sign a one-year deal with them.
Gordon has been in and out of the league since 2012 due to multiple suspensions for substance abuse. More specifically, the use of marijuana. With that, online sportsbooks have odds on whether or not Gordon will be on the Chiefs' active roster come Week 18.
Josh Gordon Be On Chiefs Active Roster For Week 18
- Yes -190
- No +155
Help Is On The Way
Despite their struggles early in the season, the Kansas City Chiefs remain the top dog in the NFL behind arguably the most explosive offense. Their offense has seen some slight bumps though, especially on the receiving end.
Through three weeks, the Chiefs receivers have racked up 104 targets, but have only been able to pull in 78 receptions. Gordon will come in and bring a veteran presence to a younger, but experienced, Kansas City Chiefs offense. It is clear that the offensive line has been running into some trouble and the Chiefs are expecting Gordon to help, giving him these favored NFL odds.

NFL Rule Change
Gordon’s main problem with staying in the league consistently is that he has been suspended five times in the last seven years after testing positive for marijuana use. However, times have changed and the NFL is now more open to the research on marijuana.
Within the league's latest collective bargaining agreement, any player who tests positive for using marijuana will no longer be suspended.
This rule change is certainly in favor of Gordon as he can now play in the NFL without having to worry about being suspended. That said, betting on him to be on the Chiefs' active roster in Week 18 is a smart bet to make by sports bettors for any easy payday.
