Josh Gordon reapplies to be reinstated today...
-
Fixed that for you:
What a shame that his career has tanked because of archaic drug rules his own stupidity.
Ultimately his actions are on him.
Continuing to use in spite of serious consequences would allow for a diagnosis of addiction. His refusal to deal with his own addiction is.. his problem, and nobody else's.
-
And if you remember all of the details of his past positive tests, it was reeaaallll light.
Yes, he should have known better. Yes, he had millions on the line. Yes, it is ultimately his fault.
But that doesn't change the fact the rules are ridiculous on the matter.
-
So what should the Browns do. Trade him abd get picks? Or keep him for the low?
If he gets reinstated, fuck it. Play him. I don't think we could likely get jack shit in a trade for him....so might as well squeeze that lemon and see if there is any juice there. If not...you are no worse off than before. Not really.
Besides...we need a slot receiver to replace Hawkins.
(though...I mean...if someone really wants to offer a 2d/3rd round pick for him...then we may be talking)

^^ Agree 100%. Except that moves Coleman to the slot, Gordon and Pryor on the outside.

He gets reinstated, you play him. But trusting him to stay clean? Um, nope. Um, I'd take a very iffy Gordon over any of the WRs currently on the roster other than Coleman and Pryor Jordan Leslie? Rannell Hall? Dennis Parks? Seriously? Those guys are training camp fodder. (OK, I had to look at the roster.)

or as PoG calls it, 'Christmas'.
Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, and 4th of July. Who knows, Goodell just might give him another chance. MHO he's paid his dues, what the hey- give him another shot.

Cutting or trading him would be the stupidest Browns move yet. There is literally nothing to gain by trading him with the upside being HOF type WR performance if he stays clean. If he doesn't , he doesn't , simple as that.

Wrong. The drug rules did not make him choose to violate them knowing the consequences if caught. It's called responsibility and trying to place that on "archaic rules" rather than the player is ridiculous.

Exactly. Gordon doesn't come across as very bright, but his lack of discipline
is his own doing. HE IS responsible for not adhering to the rules of the game.
He could have been a star, make millions and millions, and then smoke it all
away later. The rules didn't make him break them.

I loved at how good he was in 2013, But sick of him letting us down. Time to cut the cord. I wouldn't even risk a trade like we did with T West, just cut his ass

That does not mean that both are not true.

I wonder how big of an issue that may be in the next CBA.
Obviously the disciplinary procedures will be a major issue. If the maryjane policy is changed....there would be many fewer disciplinary issues.
Fair to say?

HELL YES!
C'mon Josh don't let us down, we believe in you!
The moment of Truth.

Hard to belive its almost been 4 seasons since his beast year. What a wasted talent. Oh well.
-
If Gordon is reinstated, and if he stays clean, and if he's in great shape - the Browns have a legitimate #1 wideout. Lot of "ifs". However, combine Gordon with a resigned Terrell Pryor and a full season of Cory Coleman and Cleveland has a solid receiving corps that many teams would envy...and one that would help make any young quarterback's growth a lot easier.
-
Hue already said they're moving on without him, so we will likely test the market and get rid of him
-
It doesn't send the right message to the rest of your team. I'd trade him definately...
if he's going to be actually making a good comeback, just get a good pick for him,
and draft a football smart, good character, work ethic wr with that pic.

Hell may have froze over lol , I agree with you 1000%@ghoolie said:
What do you imagine Belichik would do?
Gordon is the shit. This FO should be fighting like a mother fucker on all fronts to get this kid back into a Browns uniform and playing.
Coleman and Pryor by themselves are ok. Add Gordon and the double teams and attention he will get, and BOOM...we have a bad ass group of people who can catch the ball.
Josh Gordon will not bring in trade what he is worth. If we trade him, we get the short end of the stick. You are not going to find a WR of his caliber just floating around. Kiss his ass, do whatever it takes to get the guy back on the field. Having him back on the field is like getting an extra high 1st round draft pick.
I don't see how this FO can justify anything that doesn't involve signing up up.

The issue with your plan is "get a good pick for him". Seriously? Not gonna happen. There is ZERO sense in trading him.It doesn't send the right message to the rest of your team. I'd trade him definately...

there isn't any sense in adding him back into the locker room. It goes against everything
the coaches and fo are trying to build with the right players.
I think I could draft a small school wr in the 7th round, that would be more productive than Josh Gordon
while he is on suspension.... lol

I don't defend his poor decisions. Having said that he is far from a lockeroom issue. I get the mistrust from everyone I really do. Bottom line i stick to is no downside in keeping him and plenty of upside.there isn't any sense in adding him back into the locker room. It goes against everything
