Well, that would be awful.
Josh Gordon has been simply spectacular and has the all the characteristics of a #1 receiver ... hands, speed, size ... he is probably the best draft pick we have made since 1999.
We are three and o with him.
HIs stats in those three games prorated to a 16-game schedule:
96 catches, 1,648 yards 11 TDs
I simply can't imagine the Browns wouldn't want to keep a 22 year old receiver with those tools, playing that well.

Really? You can't imagine that the Browns FO would do something stupid?

Just got a tweet alert from "who gives a fuck"# Gordon seen drinking cough syrup and snorting blow off Moly Cyrus' cleavage at Larry Flynts club on west bank.
My ex-wife have been in "discussion" regarding her giving up some trim for weeks. Just cause you talk about sho don't mean it's gonnn happen. so it goes

Bone head move of the century if they trade him away. The draft is a crap shoot and Gordon is a proven player.
-
Now, the kid has trade value. Next time he pops positive he is adios......with zilch trade value. Obviously the Browns FO does not have a lot of faith that he can stay clean. If the Browns don't have a good feeling about his long term sobriety you gotta ask yourself why any other FO would. Any team that makes an offer won't risk much and will offer a pittance. Browns should keep him and hope for the best in terms of his substance abuse issues. They already know he can make plays and help them win games.
If a Gordon trade could come to fruition, and if it were up to me, I would look for RB's to shore up our questionable run game. McGeeheehee, a damaged Ogbo and Rainey prolly won't get it done. Oops, I forgot,, it doesn't matter how good your running game is since it is a totally QB driven league. What the hell was I thinking? FWIW, I would try to get Giovani Bernard. The bungholes would most likely not give him up to an AFC north foe but it's ok to at least dream

Trading him is nothing short of tanking the season. The risk is there for sure but we will never get the right offer commensurate with his skill level. You could draft WR in the 1st round for the next 10 years and not get a Josh Gordon caliper receiver. You have to assume the risk on him and hope for the best. If you win the roll you have an elite WR who could become the best in the game. If you lose the roll you blew a 2nd round pick. That is not such a rare occurrence.

Where have I heard this first sentance before?
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
Gordon is one of three players on this team you absolutely cannot trade. I wouldn't let him go for two first rounders. Would any other team give up an elite WR, which Gordon is, for any kind of draft pick? No, why should Cleveland be the only stupid one. I know it's just discussion but it still pisses me off

The difference is that, this time, we'll be trading a player who's actually shown he's capable of being a true top 10 player at his position.

The only thing that could justify this is if the Browns organization had some serious dirt on Gordon, something Hernandez-esque.

I never said anything remotely close to that regarding the T-Rich trade. He was and appears to continue to be average. You can't possibly think Gordon is average. He is worth more than any team will offer. It could take us many years to secure another receiver like him.
-
The national media is still talking about Richardson like he's an elite player. I like Josh Gordon too but I'll give the front office the benefit of the doubt.
-
Two first rounders for Gordon? They would take that in a heartbeat. As well they should

I find that difficult to believe.
And it is Banner that is running this franchise, not Lombardi.

OK, so it may be Banner, moreso than Lombardi that has a hard on about getting rid of Heckert chosen players. Because I believe he has some sort of grudge against Heckert from Philly days, and he takes it out on Heckert's players.

If true, I think it would have more to do with 1 more strike and he's out then Heckert or Philly or anything else. Kind of depends on whether you put much stock on what Adam Schefter tweets or not.

Gordons Contract:
7/16/2012: Signed a four-year, $5.342 million contract. The deal contains $3.8 million guaranteed -- a $2.324 million signing bonus, Gordon's first two base salaries, and $380,000 of his third-year salary. 2013: $632,802, 2014: $825,604 (+ $50,000 workout bonus), 2015: $1,068,406 (+ $50,000 workout bonus), 2016: Free Agent
This is chump change for a receiver of his quality. Essentially, there is little risk to keeping him, more risk letting him go, become a stud, and make Browns look like brown sphincters muscles (ie assholes)!

@RapSheet Browns aren't shopping their stars. But they have talked to teams about Josh Gordon, including #49ers. They'd like a 2nd rounder in return
