Josh Gordon entering rehab
-
No return next week.. That sucks
according to his statement, it looks like he is not coming back period...at least at this time....
-
Doesn't sound like this is a relapse situation. Sounds like he's doing the correct thing here, which by his track record is a HUGE step in the right direction. And it sounds like the browns and the NFL have his back on it.
Barring bad news, failed drug test, I would definitely want this guy back on my team.
Any negativity towards his decision is high unwarranted.

i know people say you can be addicted to WEEDA, but i don't buy it one bit. i know people who smoke. don't drink. don't take pills. don't do any other drugs but smoke WEEDA. they're not sitting outside in an alley in the middle of the night waiting for their guy to show up and cop some bud. they don't have it it's not like they're going to rob a bank or jump out a window cuz they can't get a toke.
mental maybe. but you gotta be dumb as a rock to mentally be addicted to anything. so........

It doesn't matter what they say.. I'll take Dr.Drew on that over the words of stoners.. what matters is whether or not they quit. They say they can.. but never do. And remember: Just because they TELL YOU they quit.. doesn't mean they aren't lying.. yes, to you.. and continuing to toke. As with every addictive substance, marijuana isn't addictive for everyone.. but the person for whom it's not the greatest thing ever wouldn't have a reason to keep smoking it.

1. Don't release him. There is ZERO reason to ever release him. If you release him, all that will happen is another team will pick him up and wait. Its low risk high reward. We wouldn't get any pick for him that would be worth it. We haven't been offered a pick for him that was worth it for years. Sit and wait. He still has two more seasons under his rookie contract.
2. I am at least 90% sure he failed another test and he is just getting ahead of it. Might as well start the process of getting back now. Maybe the NFL will go easy on him and let him reinstate at the start of training camp next year if he spends the next 3-4 months in rehab (why they would ever do this I wouldn't know). 10% chance is that the pressure of using was hitting him hard with the thought of having to come back and play and he decided it would be better for him to go to rehab so he could play some time this season/next season.

And for the people saying the pot isn't addictive, food is also not addictive, but people can't stop over eating and eating shitty food. Things like food and pot create dopamine which makes you feel good and that in turn is addictive.

Josh Gordon is probably gonna go to the patriots or something and have a HOF career.

Yup- I'm thinking the same thing. Not playing extends his rookie contract indefinitely. We don't have to pay him either. The rights to that other loser Justin Blackmon are still owned by the Jaguars IIRC.

It would be the Browns luck BB.

Has there ever been a bigger waste of talent? I mean, seriously I can't think of anyone in over 30 years. I have no issue with someone entering rehab of course as that takes courage in many cases (well... in some cases that is) but the fact he waited until the last minute speaks of something else happening behind closed doors. For example I could definitely see something taking place like the Browns testing (on their own) outside the league mandate, recognizing he was still using, and scurrying him away to rehab before the NFL caught on. In truth that makes a lot of sense to me given the timing.
Still though the question remains - has there ever been a bigger waste of talent after being given so many chances? I can't think of any.

Well none of us really knows how many chances JM was given. The fact he was suspended 4 games regardless of who might pick him up tells me is was more than once. The Browns just wrote him off early in the process unlike JG. Favoritism maybe?
-
It's all a big shame ... But Coleman/Pryor is not so bad, is it? And they seem committed to being the best they can be. And the rookies backing them up are getting lots of reps now withe Coleman out ... Ricardo Louis looked solid in his first action.
Pryor/Coleman is gonna work, though. Josh was just pie in the sky.

Not surprising. The Browns had to tell Gordon when Goodell conditionally reinstated him- this is absolutely your final chance, and we're not kidding. Hue and company have to know why Gordon checked himself into rehab, and I'm betting it wasn't for no reason.

I went to go check if this was the quote and just figured out that I was blocked by Grossi. I can't even remember the last time I tweeted at him.
-
This was the quote I have read. Nothing I have seen so far says he is being removed from the team. The last mention from Jackon sounded more like he and the team would no longer answer questions about the issue and that they were moving on from the distraction.
βItβs unfortunate,β Jackson said. βI think Josh needs to do what is best for Josh. I think we all support him 100 percent and we want the best for him, but we understand at this time he won't be with us and we'll move forward from there."

I'm not surprised this happened but I doubt very much they could have traded him. That would mean an on the spot drug test that he most likely fails. I've given him up as just false hope long ago.The mistake you guys made was planning Gordon would do anything for the Browns moving forward in the first place. Gordon was the shitty ex-girlfriend a bunch of you candy asses clearly can't get over. The guy had all the talent in the world but has blown it like plenty of guys like him have done in the past. He's done here-the only regret you should have is that the Browns didn't trade him when the value was high.

I'm talking about 2-3 failed tests ago, not as of this season. I don't doubt the Browns could have netted a 3rd for him at some point.

Maybe then but we didn't. Moot point now though. Coach said he's history now.I'm talking about 2-3 failed tests ago, not as of this season. I don't doubt the Browns could have netted a 3rd for him at some point.

Right, that was literally my point all along. Can't cry over spilled milk as they say.

Ultimately it doesn't matter. First off, if he just went to rehab and didn't actually fail a test (small chance of that) I honestly don't think the Browns cut him. Regardless whether he plays another snap in a Browns uniform, the team just drafted 4 new WR's in the draft and their gamble in Pryor appears to be working out. What does it matter?
Also on the bright side I won a $10 bet with my roommate.
