Former Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> head coach Jon Gruden became the subject of leaguewide ire following leaked emails from an NFL investigation into the Washington Football Team. While the vast majority of the data from said investigation is still unavailable to the public, the latest league comments suggest that no other offensive language surfaced during the investigation. In other news, Josh Gordon is making the most of his latest opportunity, while Mike Williams is battling an injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NFL Rumors: Leaked Emails, Josh Gordon, Mike Williams<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to a report by the Associated Press, the league \u201c<\/span>did not identify<\/span><\/a> other areas and other individuals it has to contact at club leadership or league leadership levels\u201d while adding that \u201c[t]he NFL did not identify any problems anywhere near what you saw with Jon Gruden\u201d following the investigation into the Washington Football Team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on this, the league wants you to believe that the unreleased emails are not of consequence. Of course, nobody from the league office will go on record to say this, and it\u2019s hard to take the NFL\u2019s word at face value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Historically speaking, the National Football League has a terrible record when it comes to scandals of this nature. From Ray Rice to Tyreek Hill, the league\u2019s primary goal typically seems to be burying as much evidence as possible and saving face rather than seeking justice.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only way for the league to earn the full trust of the public is to actually release all 650,000 of the investigated emails to the public. Trust has to be earned, and the NFL\u2019s previous shady method of operations has made blind trust impossible. Perhaps Gruden\u2019s emails really were the outlier here, but there is no way to know for sure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Josh Gordon Says NFL Return Is \u201cA Blessing\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Longtime veteran wide receiver Josh Gordon is back in the NFL, and this time the former Baylor product plans to stick around a while. Speaking to reporters earlier in the week, Gordon said that \u201c<\/span>it\u2019s a blessing<\/span><\/a>\u201d to have the opportunity to come back into the league. \u201cI\u2019m in the present. I\u2019m taking it in stride, and I\u2019m enjoying it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gordon realizes that this might be his final opportunity to play in the NFL, and he thinks he\u2019s ready to be a healthy contributor on the football field. \u201cI think perseverance and gratitude, just appreciation for every day, being able to wake up being healthy, having the resources I have at my disposal to use and really go out there and get what it is that I desire most in life, and that right now is playing football in the NFL.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
