According to Ian Rapoport, Gordon is signing a one-year contract that will pay him over $1 million once reinstated.
Gordon previously applied for reinstatement and is still awaiting results. However, it appears as though the Seahawks still plan to have him in the fold for the 2020 season.
Adam Schefter says that Gordon has been training in the Seattle area and waiting to be reinstated.
Gordon, 28, is a former second-round supplemental pick of the Browns back in 2012. Suspensions forced Gordon to sit out the 2015 and 2016 seasons but he was reinstated in November of 2017 and finished out the seasons with the Browns.
The Browns re-signed Gordon to a one-year exclusive rights contract worth $790,000 but he was traded to the Patriots for a fifth-round pick. New England re-signed Gordon to a one-year, restricted deal last offseason.
Gordon was waived from injured reserve last year and later claimed by the Seahawks.
In 2019, Gordon appeared in 11 games for the Seahawks and Patriots and caught 27 passes for 426 yards receiving and one touchdown.
