Didn't Gordon get paid while he was w/the team last year?

Yeah, the last six weeks (or whatever it was) he had to have gotten paid

These 2 articles would lead me to believe the child support wasn't court ordered until July of this year.

However, back in Sept. of 2016, a warrant was issued for him due to his not showing up in court under subpoena. (note, in the article: The warrant wasn't for not paying, it was for not showing up to court)

Now, what transpired from Sept. of 2016 to the appearance in court and dna test in July of 2018, I don't know.

Thanks for the information.

I sure hope he got a good plea deal .....

Former Browns linebacker Mychal Kendricks pleads guilty to insider trading | cleveland.com

BEREA, Ohio -- Former Browns linebacker Mychal Kendricks pleaded guilty to insider trading charges on Thurdsay afternoon. He was charged last week, along with his friend, Damilare Sonoiki, a Harvard-educated analyst for Goldman Sachs who's currently a writer for the ABC hit sitcom "Black-ish."

Kendricks was released by the Browns Aug. 29.

According to Philly.com:

"U.S. District Judge Gene E.K. Pratter asked Kendricks why he was pleading guilty.

"'Because I know I was wrong," he said. "I know that I made the decision to accept information, secret information, and it wasn't the right thing to do.'

"The judge said she wanted to be sure that Kendricks was not coerced into making his decision to plead guilty.

"'I'm making the decision because it's the right thing to do,' he said."

Kendricks could face up to 25 years in prison.

boy, prison is a likely outcome IMO

I was wrong on this one .. didnt see jail time coming ...

Sentencing not til December ... wonder why they couldn’t push this back and push sentencing til February ...

Oh well ... let it go diam .. *L* ... for some reason this one rally sticks in my craw ..

Mine as well.

*Disclaimer* I'm not going to jail, hahaha!

When I first read that, I thought you meant that prison was your likely outcome as well ..... and I wondered what the heck you did.

Hahaha,this truly made me laugh!!!

I had the same thought. LOL

4-6 in a minimum security would be a good deal. Good behavior, you might be out in 28 months.

I thought he meant he was going to spend hard-time in a mine turning large rocks into smaller ones.

I couldnt imagine doing a few years in jail

Guess he doesn't face jail time?

Mychal Kendricks - LB - Free Agent

Free agent LB Mychal Kendricks visited the Seahawks on Thursday.

The Seahawks are thin at linebacker as they deal with injuries. Kendricks recently pled guilty to federal charges of insider trading and faces up to 25 years in prison. The Seahawks aren't concerned about that as they look for short-term fixes during K.J. Wright's absence.

dang that's not good to hear

I thought we jumped the gun on letting him go. Don't know why he'd get 25 years, Martha only got 5 months and she lied about it.

Sentencing is not till December.

The only thing i know is that this is NOT HELPING ME GET OVER IT ...

I don’t understand at all ... NOT ONE BIT ...

This dude can play ... Dorsey has loaded our roster with folks that have done a lot worse things than this or “lying” to him .. MUCH WORSE ...

Yet according to the statement we released he was released cause he LIED TO THE TEAM ... a team with John “gimme footballers who cares about CHARACTER” Dorsey cutting someone for MORAL REASONS is RICH ...

There’s no way they could not have moved sentancing back ... NO WAY ...

Damm it .. this isn’t he;ping me get over this .. *L* ...

STUPID SEAHAGS!!!

Kendricks could have really helped us w/his coverage and his speed. I wish we would have kept him.

THATS NOT HELPING ME get over this ... ...

Look at the ocean, that should at least distract you for a while.

Gotta love the legal system for the rich.

Good idea ... as long as the ocean doesn’t end up in my front yard at some point this weekend that sounds like a plan ... *L* ...

Almost all court cases take forever to go to trial. Has nothing to do w/Kendricks being rich.

Personally, I would have just kept him until we couldnt

Sentencing moved back to late January. (24th)

LB Mychal Kendricks, released by the Browns following charges of insider trading, is signing a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks, per sources..

Seattle not likely to waste any time: Kendricks expected to play Monday night vs. Bears.

we jumped the gun with this.

I don't think we jumped the gun.

Kendricks would have 1 year with us. That's it. I'd rather give that time to someone else who will be here for the long haul. The move helps grow our younger players.

I agree in theory, but we sorely miss his athleticism. Nobody else on our roster can cover like him AND pass rush. His versatility might be the difference between managing Kamara, Mixon, Collins, etc.

We didn't jump the gun at all. When he goes to prison, and the sports shows keep talking about it, he'll now be known as "Former Seahawk" rather than "Former Brown".

*LOL*

Thank god we got our priorities straight ...

Would’ve been nice to keep dude on the team. Now he just signed with the Seahawks.

Of all the real stuff to kick players off the team over (domestic violence, drug, PEDs) it still boggles my mind we cut a guy over insider trading.

He also supposedly lied to the team about his situation.

Yeah, especially the domestic violence stuff.

Too true.

Mychal Kendricks suspended by NFL for insider trading, will play until ruling on appeal

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24695...s-ruling-appeal


The NFL has suspended new Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks, but the suspension has been appealed and is expected to be heard in the next 10 days or so, league sources told ESPN.

Because the suspension is under appeal, Kendricks can and will make his Seahawks debut Monday night against the Chicago Bears, according to sources. Seattle needs Kendricks after already ruling out injured linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright.

The league suspended Kendricks last week after he had a meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, according to sources. But Kendricks' case is a sticky one for the NFL, which has unintentionally found itself in an awkward situation.

Even though Kendricks pleaded guilty to insider trading last week, he never profited off it, made immediate restitution and has no criminal record. He is not scheduled to be sentenced until Jan. 24, when, based on federal guidelines, he could be facing 30 to 37 months in prison.

Before the Cleveland Browns released Kendricks last month, the NFL was strongly considering placing him on the commissioner's exempt list. Now the league must figure out what to do with a player involved in a white-collar crime who has tried to make amends for the situation.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that the team did all of the research it could before signing Kendricks.

"We had done a lot of homework on it," Carroll said. "It happened four and a half years ago, so it's a story that's been worked on for a long time. There's a lot of good information. We've come to learn who he is and what he's all about and how remorseful he was and how he admitted to his mistake a long time ago."

Carroll also said the Seahawks have been in communication with the league but that "there's nothing that we can really report on it. We have to respect the process right now and just wait it out."

ESPN's Brady Henderson contributed to this report.
