Josh Gordon reapplies to be reinstated today...
-
we have given him four chances to help us win - he blew every one of them.
my opinion, he just wants more money to travel around and live the wild life like jm.
and he dumped on his team AGAIN. It isn't just that his decision-making is self-destructive, his attitude
about life is, too.Here is an article from: 2016:
Manziel and Gordon posted the following on Twitter early Monday morning.
Salute @JOSH_GORDONXII you're a real one #NewLevel

about life is, too. THEN, right as he is going to get back into the nfl, he goes to rehab. Seriously? IF GORDON HAD HADA WORTH ETHIC AND HIS HEAD SCREWED ON STRAIGHT OFF THE FIELD, HE COULD HAVE BEEN ALLPRO a couple
more years, and helped the Browns a hell of a lot. That is why you look at character, work ethic, etc. We didn't, and we ended up with Richardson, JM, Gordon and Gilbert. IT doesn't matter that they were TALENTED, when they didn't help the Browns win.

Know you don't drink Cal, but for those of us who do, getting hit out of the blue with a paternity suit would be enough to make you want to hammer down a bottle or two. Don't forget one of the busts was for off season drinking on a plane. Oh, don't think the crime fitted the punishment.
Should Goodell reinstate him, no risk keeping him around. You just cut him if he screws up. Keep one of our bum WRs on the practice squad for insurance. Arguably Josh has more talent than any WR currently on our roster. It's the only reason we're still having this discussion.

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
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

Could have been my post except that enough time has passed that I'd have to have said "potential upside".
You talkin' Gordon or Manziel?
That's actually one of your useful smart-ass comments.
When you contrast the distractions created by Josh and Fuckhead, it's quickly obvious that you have to use log-scaled, graph paper. There is absolutely no way to confuse the two players.

Personally I would roll the dice. We can't get anything in a trade so why not? The worst that can happen is he fucks up again and we are off the hook.
The upside? Maybe Jackson can set him straight.
WSS
You talkin' Gordon or Manziel?
Seriously? Either one. Both.You talkin' Gordon or Manziel?
I don't think coach Jackson would pull the trigger on either one but if I were the head coach and sat down with these two guys and thought they were serious about getting things together and it was possible to put together some sort of an incentive laden contract that netted them nothing if they fuck up....
Of course it's not realistic but sure.
Especially Gordon who at one time was the best at his position in the NFL.

Don't forget...
He hasn't violated any rules since his 2015 violation. He's still serving the same suspension he served then. Goodell conditionally lifted it, but reinstated it when Gordon chose to go to rehab. There was no new violation,
Some people like to fabricate a new violation out of thin air.
-
nobody is forgetting. The Browns were ready to roll and have Gordon back. In OCTOBER, before he was
officially ready to rejoin the Browns...
we went to rehab instead. IN LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE HE WAS TO JOIN THE BROWNS.
That is no "violation"....it's just another huge disappointment to the team. After all this, he never said WHY.
I imagine, if it was just he felt weak in his addition, he could have said so. My guess is, he failed to stay away
from it, maybe, and went to rehab instead of getting caught again and never getting another NFL paycheck.
Don't know. there was no "violation" of the NFL drug policy I suppose. But there WAS a violation of his responsibility
to the Browns. Seriously, after all those months, he finally gets cleared to rejoin the Browns, and less than a week before he
does.... he goes to REHAB? Come on, man.

He also found out he was a father shortly before that, so...

Dawgs, just imagine a line-up of Gordon, Pryor and Coleman... throw in a little Hollywood or some Louis and Payton.
Then getting Desmond Bryant back along with Nate Orchard. Put Orchard with Nassib, Shelton and Ogbah and let Willy G *Greg Williams* turn em loose! And that even before we draft 2 or 4 really nice STUDS in the draft... plus we've got a lot of money to spend in FA... Things are definitely looking up bro!

Some people are so negative that they look for any and every excuse to just complain. They cry about the snow and bitch when it's hot...
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Gordon has had many setbacks and pitfalls but to be fair he's traveled a rough road. Once you are on the radar it's very difficult under that kind of scrutiny to succeed. Yeah, it's easy to say, "Just put down the weeeeeeed" or whatever but unless you walk in somebody else's shoes your just talking out the side of your neck.
You people that love to bash him are the same ones who can't resist staring at a traffic accident as you drive by... you delight in other's misery. If you honestly don't think Josh Gordon loses sleep at night because of his fuckups, you really might have a far worse problem than Josh Gordon ever has.

-
Yeah....he's a bit of a knucklehead......also the best receiver Ive ever seen in a Browns Uni......and his transgressions only hurt himself.....
Would love to see him resurrect his career ....and would love to be the benefactor after all these years of shenanigans...
Browns have nothing to lose.....but Josh....
-
The main question about Gordon isn't his past or his contract, it's whether or not he can still perform given his missed game time. If he is reinstated the Browns need to evaluate his ability and if he is better than the last WR you'd be keeping, you keep him. Are we worrying about losing Jordan Payton to keep a viable Josh Gordon?

And I thought Payton was already gone......(thats what happens when you're invisible)....
and the answer?.....Nope

Ah come on Mud. He had 1 catch for 3 yrds in 32 snaps and got suspended under the NFL PED Drug policy in Dec. We don't want to scare him off before he gets going!

Trubisky to Gordon all day long, if he's clean play him.

Gordon is switching to HB? Only way he can get open fast enough with this OL, but it does resolve the QB sack/injury problem.
