Josh Gordon is "busting his ass"
-
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...
-
He let us down on more then one occasion and cant be trusted. He will do it all over again. Fuck him.

Back atcha!!.. Remember that when you , or your very own son wants a 2nd chance in life....... Its not like he committed any felonious crimes...

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.

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.

Is "busting his ass" anything like butt funneling?

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.

Here's a point - has Gordon changed his crowd of homies?
Or, is he still with that same crowd, and still will eventually revert
to the same mindset of that crowd?
It would be great is he really came back all in, and 100% about wanting to
win.
But, if I were drafting a blue chippie wr next spring- I certainly wouldn't drop that
idea because Gordon is coming back...again....

Was he really hanging with a bad crowd? Maybe earlier in his life.
He failed one weed test by the smallest of fractions after passing dozens of them.
Then he had a beer on a plane to Vegas with "homies" like Joe Haden and the WR coach ... didn't anyone know the rules? Where's the mentoring?
He was pretty damn young when all of this was going down. He sure is an easy target for jokes, but I see wife beaters, rapists, dog killers and other Steelers playing on sundays while this guy is missing the prime of his career for pot and beer. The joke is the NFL.
I hope Josh comes back and scorches everybody like 2013 again, that was, by far, the best season I ever saw a Browns receiver have.

I don't think anyone here disagrees with the last part of what your saying, but let's stop making excuses for the guy too. Everything he's done to fuck up has been his own fault, there's no other way to put that. Okay, if he got popped for weed one time it's a stupid mistake. But he's got a strong pattern of making bad decisions and the phrase "fool me once" is realllly starting to kick him with the dude.
I guess what I'm saying is I'm not holding my breath in the slightest. He loafed at the end of last season too and who knows if he even wants to play in Cleveland again.

Seriously, actually laughed out loud at this
I see wife beaters, rapists, dog killers and other Steelers

Ya, Mr. Zombo, that was funny, and it's just my guess of the people -outside- of the
Browns that affect his attitude and decisions, since he failed marijuana tests
three times in college....
He also has said in the past that he hasn't smoked marijuana since just before the draft....
"second-smoke"...and DWI... you'd think an NFL player wouldn't be around people who smoke, ever, and wouldn't
drink and drive after his history of smoking dope in college.

I'm not trying to run the man down, I really hope he will come back and "set the league on fire" - and surely,
after all this, he will have matured and gotten a fire to put all that behind him and go for all he can be -
and maybe, seeing the difference in JM this year - he has the will to do the same thing.
He's awesome on the field - hope he comes back and ready to roll.
It's just tough to depend on him so far....
