  • Do you think we will ship Gordon off? Thoughts?

  • Thinking? Sources.

    No, I don't think they will.

  • I dont see why they would.....all the upside is in keeping him...

    Unless someone gives us a first or second....and that isnt likely.....

  • Ummmm.... no.

    But speaking of Gordon...

    Odd conversation on NFL Insiders yesterday about his reinstatement process. The heads were talking as if he somehow had to make the case to the league that he has "stayed clean" throughout the entirety of his suspension.

    Setting aside the difficulties inherent in proving any negative, has he not been in the testing protocol throughout this past year?

  • who's gonna give us anything for him? I mean yeah if we would get some shit, of course. But who's gonna give us anything for a guy who's one strike away from exiting the game completely?

    You would think so.....plus, Id say the fact that his last indiscretion was booze and not pot should work in his favor....IE...almost 2 years since he last tested positive for "drugs"....

  • At this point, it's better to hopefully get him back on our sidelines and see how it goes. There's no way a guy like him would garner more than a 5th round pick which isn't worth the potential he could bring.

    However, if it's clear he's loafing and not buying in like he has done in the past, he'd be good trade bait during the regular season (packaged with our beloved LT perhaps..)

    Sure, and when he goes on to have a Chris Carter level career elsewhere, you'll be kicking yourself in the ass. We won't get anything for him, and he's still on his cheap rookie deal

    Another silly season guys flapping their gums on a slow news day. Like the Cavs are gonna trade for Mello.

    You don't think people want a potential top 5 receiver for the low. Low risk high reward.

  • The talent-poor Browns do not have the luxury of trading away a talent as great as Gordon. Granted, he's one spark away from getting kicked out of the NFL for good. However, if he stays clean and plays hard he's a pro-bowl wide out.

    The Browns absolutely have to roll the dice with Gordon. If he screws up the Browns won't be worse off than they are now. The only way that the Browns can mess this up is to trade him...because if they do Gordon will stay off the weed and put up All-Pro numbers for the next four seasons.

    I follow the dude on Snapchat and literally all of his snaps are him working out and busting his ass, but that's a very limited view of course.

  • I think this MAN has finally turned a corner. He wont get suspended again. The Cleveland Browns have stuck behind him through all his transgressions and he'll be the best player we have this year. His second contract will be a bargain and I want it to be with us.

  • I think the risk/reward is worth more than whatever we could get for him probably. I'm not sure but I'd guess 3rd/4th rounder
