    Is "busting his ass" some sort of pot slang I'm not aware of?

    Yes.. It means Josh is pulling his ass cheeks apart and toking on a big one!

    Fool me once shame on you...fool me twice shame on me... at 6-3 last year I couldn't wait to see what would happen with Gordon set to return to the line up after the 10 game suspension. He was a big let down. I don't want to hear talk or promises...just do it and I will believe it then.

    Let's hope Drew isn't blowing smoke- pun intended. Let's get real here folks. A clean Josh would be a lock to make any of the 32 teams rosters, and I'd hazard a guess- based on his breakout year, he'd be the #1 WR on at least 25 NFL teams.

    Drew Rosenhaus is a Yiddish Sheister lord who will say anything no matter how full of bullshit it is, to make a buck. He could literally be smoking pot with Gordon and still take time out of his day write up that piece of drivel that's worth less than the digital bits it was written on.

    Yeah... the guys probably only pissed in a cup 50 times this year... probably washing down Alice B. Toklas brownies with Everclear daily.

    Hey... works for me, if Josh is working out. There really is no downside to having him on our 2016 roster.

    And there's little downside to negotiating a smart contract beyond 2016, if we can... but I doubt we can. Josh's bargaining position can only get stronger.

    A sports agent advocating for a client? How dare he...

    Drew guaranteed MaGahee would come back and have a great career after suffering the most horrendous knee injury I have seen. Willis might have fallen tad short of "great", but with four, 1000-yd seasons over a span of 8 years, he was in the neighborhood. Relatively injury-free career to boot.

    So Drew pretty much got one right.

  • Ok.. So Is Josh Gordon basically a FA after this football season or after the 2016-17 season.

    After 2016 I believe... result of that maneuver where we suspended him for the final game of 2014 keeping his game total under the threshold for qualifying as a season.

    He was challenging that maneuver, or the Players Union was on his behalf. TBH though I don't remember for sure if there's been a final ruling on that challenge.

    Okay, So basically... We have him on the Roster for one more season until Drew Rosenhaus , decides to hold the Browns , or anyone else hostage for his services.. . Concluding the 2016-17 football season

    And you would be correct... if 2014 does not count because he did not reach the 6-game threshold.

    • Signed a 4-year contract in 2012.
    • Had qualifying seasons of 13 and 14 games in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
    • Will have 0 games in 2015.
    • So comes down to his 2014, Week-17 suspension holding him to 5 games.
    Even better...

  • A talent like that is worth hanging on to. I mean, he smoked a little dope and drank a little alcohol. 85% of the league has done that.

    I mean, it ain't like he ran over a kid with a car or something. A DUI is serious because he has that potential to do that....but Gordon is paying the price for that.

  • As of now, he is under contract for the next 2 season (2016 and 2017)... That is only because we suspended him week 17 last year, so 2014 did not count as an accrued season...

    The NFLPA tried to get that suspension overturned, but I haven't heard anything about a verdict... probably won't be decided until after he is re-instated (it would be a waste of time if he is just going to get banished anyway)...

    If it is overturned, then he will be a UFA after the 2016 season...

  • Also...

    He was so much fun to watch in 2013... I really hope he is "busting his ass" to get back to football... We could use a guy like that to solidify our WR corp, which already isn't that bad...

  • Until he proves he can contribute to the team again I don't care what he's doing.

    Last I saw him he was half assing plays and disrupting the offense.

    Plenty of truth there, but also true was no time to develop timing with either BH or JM.

  • Futhermore, if we can afford to pay 9 mil to Bowe, if Gordon comes back and tears it up we will have the cash to resign him. No big deal there.

    Exactly. Bowe is as good as gone. Any team that signs Gordon long term is going to make the (fat) contract non-guaranteed- based on his ability to stay clean & performance based.
