NFL catcher Josh Gordon has developed a reputation for himself, and not in a good way. The 29-year-old is currently a free agent after his fifth drug addiction suspension.
Throughout his career, he has had brief stays with the Cleveland Browns, the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. However, these stints were littered with suspensions, luckily he was part of the 2019 Super Bowl winning team.
Now it turns out that Gordon is going to auction off his Super Bowl ring. He received the ring from the LIII Super Bowl winning Patriots in 2019. However, he has now chosen to sell it with the help of Heritage Auctions for his souvenir auction in August.

Why did Josh Gordon get the ring despite his reputation?
Granted, Gordon received another suspension during the 2018 NFL season. In other words, it didn’t appear in many games, including Super Bowl LIII. Despite this, the Patriots saw fit to give him a ring as he made many contributions to the team during the regular season.
Now it seems that Gordon has no choice but to sell one of his most precious possessions. No official reason has been given, but some suspect that since he is a free agent, he needs money.
As a result of his multiple violations and suspensions, Josh lost millions of dollars in wages. Of course, he does not give up trying to return to the field, as Gordon tries to request his reinstatement. The bad news for him is that he is not sure that the NFL is ready to reinstate him.
According to the auction house of Pro Football Talk, the ring has an estimated value of $ 100,000. Of course, there will be many people who will want to get their hands on an official Super Bowl ring. To return to Josh Gordon, hopefully, a team finally recovers him and can tear off his doping label.
