The Washington Redskins likely will not show interest in Baylor WR Josh Gordon in the NFL supplemental draft even though he played with QB Robert Griffin III in college.
Our View: Could be a smokescreen here. With Mike Shanahan you just never know. Gordon would be an interesting developmental WR for the Redskins because of his size/speed combination. He’s 6’4″ and runs a 4.4 40-yard dash. Gordon can beat one on one coverage downfield and showed good chemistry with Griffin in college.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has filed a motion to dismiss defamation claims made against him by suspended New Orleans Saints LB Jonathan Vilma in connection with the league’s ‘bounty’ scandal investigation. The motion filed Thursday, July 5, comes in response to claims Vilma made in a lawsuit filed in May in federal court in New Orleans. Vilma claims his suspension is without merit and that Goodell has made false public comments that have damaged Vilma’s reputation and hurt his ability to continue to make a living by playing football and through related endorsement deals. Goodell’s motion says Vilma’s claims are barred by dispute resolution procedures laid out by the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement.

St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said he is confident Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson will return to form in 2012. Fisher was responsible for bringing Johnson to the Titans. ‘I didn’t watch all that much of him last year, but that kind of thing doesn’t happen overnight,’ Fisher said. ‘C.J. is still a tremendously talented running back and he’s still got a lot ahead of him.’ Fisher added there were many factors as to why Johnson struggled last season. ‘You had coaching changes, you had philosophical changes, you had a lockout and you had no offseason,’ Fisher said. ‘So you just delete last year and move on with high expectations.’
