Josh Gordon reapplies to be reinstated today...

He didn't. He prioritized school over camp.
that's Jordan Payton...delayed class of PED's studies..now who's wearing the skirt

I don't think we have anything to lose by endorsing Gordon. I mean, he's cheap, under contract, he's not really a distraction, and the upside would be enormous. Should we PLAN on him contributing? Hell no. But why trade or cut him? He's such a risk, we wouldn't get anything more than a 6th round pick, right? And if we cut him, than ANYBODY could sign him. The Bengals have a history of working with "embattled players"...that's all we need. Going up against AJ Green and Josh Gordon twice a year with a shitty secondary.
My opinion that nobody asked for? We package Josh Gordon to the Patriots when we get Garoppolo, and he goes on to have an amazing year.

There just seems to be a missing story here. On Josh's last reinstatement he received a 4 game suspension for what? Diluted test? Any who, Goodell did us a huge favor by letting Josh be part of team functions those 4 games. I trust anybody's decision that was in that locker room on this decision far more than media. But Josh had all the opportunity's of rehab way before this point. He's a stressed out mess at crunch time & reaching for a fix imo..

Gordon had about the same number of drug policy violations as Leveon Bell has had. And Gordon has tried to take steps that Bell never tried to take....yet Gordon get like 3 years worth of suspensions and Bell gets like 3 games.
All I am saying is: where is the equity?

Which "he"?

I believe the last he is Gordon. I think anywhere Josh goes he will be an all pro. He's fucked us enough already. Why let him go to another team and continue to fuck us for the next decade. I would say if he wants to get his shit together and play, he can play for us. I don't understand why in the world we would cut him.Which "he"?

Tweet of the day...
Goodell: "your chances of reinstatement are very slim"
Josh Gordon: "no they aren't"
Goodell: "welcome back to the NFL Josh!"
-
Is that really him now? Looks like he is ripped enough to play linebacker if so.
-
He's a druggie that was drafted by a drunk.
If he's reinstated then bring him in to camp and evaluate him like you would evaluate any football player trying to make your team.
Or...don't bring him into camp...just cut him.....and I'll give you a knife so you can cut off your nose to spite your face.

Yeah lets cut a guy who is our best receiver..
If he gets reinstated and actually has his shit together, let him compete.
Britt is a solid #2,Coleman is also a solid #2/Slot guy.
Gordon has that #1 WR ability. He's still very young at 26.
Kessler to Gordon doesn't sound too bad..

Like I said, if Bill Belichick is great at curing junkies and bad attitudes - let's get some exchange/trade value better than "sorry folks, Josh won't be joining us once again this year." Maybe he's the part of this Jimmy G trade some are awaiting announcement of until Roger Goodell allows the reinstatement. Good luck with that happening anytime soon...
Again, Gordon hasn't scored a TD for us since 2013. It's 2017 so you'll have to excuse those of us that don't join you in holding our breaths for the guy. This was after he got kicked off Baylor twice. If you want to stay in fiction - sounds like Linus could use a buddy to join him in the Pumpkin Patch while he awaits the first appearance of Great Pumpkin again this year. If you're a big fan of the "this time he's really gonna" - that's about as good as it gets...

I know for myself at least, in no way, shape or form would I hold my breath for Gordon to come back and light it up again after getting his shit together. If we traded him for something, great. What I wouldn't understand is just cutting him. Makes no sense to me whatsoever.Like I said, if Bill Belichick is great at curing junkies and bad attitudes - let's get some exchange/trade value better than "sorry folks, Josh won't be joining us once again this year."

That's all fine an dandy, but him for Garoppolo?
I want Garoppolo throwing him the ball, NOT Tom Brady..
I understand he hasn't scored for us since '13. He has been a shit show.
But his upside is huge. Teams want that kind of upside.
It's not like this guy is a coke or meth addict. It's pot.
This guy can get it together. From what i've seen on his snapchat. He is training hard everyday and the dude is in fantastic shape.
He voluntarily admitted himself to rehab during the season, and was put back on indefinite suspension for doing so.
Goodell should realize that this kid has been punished enough for a little leafy green substance. He has been suspended the past TWO seasons for pot..
Let the guy play a whole season! Far too many players have done worse. Stallworth killed a guy but somehow he managed to play again..

Route discipline was never Josh's strong suit. For that reason I can't see Bill being interested. He's already been down that road with a far more accomplished WR... Chad Ocho or something like that.
And no one, including us, knows what he has to offer after all this time away from the game. So at minimum you roster him and keep him to showcase in the preseason... then if you don't want him, at least he has hopefully demonstrated his value and you can get something for him...
But if he looks great in preseason, then all those wanting him cut/traded now will line up to throw tantrums about why we traded him.
Book it!

Gordon NOT out of the picture for the Browns. So Says Sachi:
-
For the first time Gordon seems focused on football. Bet he's on PEDS though to build his body back to shape. Still feel like there will always be something shady with him. Considering the situation you have to play him if the league let's him play. He is an instant #1. The Browns are considered a joke already so if he fucks up its just status quo, but he makes the offense respected when he's out there. If you waited years for LeBron to come back, then this shouldn't feel new to you.
“It is impossible to get a man to understand something if his livelihood depends on him not understanding.” -
I never understood all of the reports that said the Browns have given up on Gordon and will move on. It really didn't make any sense. Yeah, he broke our hearts a thousand times, but we have him on contract for two years, he's cheap, and he's not a guy who brings bad mojo to the team. He's simply a guy struggling with a major issue.
Even though Sashi recently said the door isn't closed, I still believe it's shut in Cleveland. I think we're going to trade the guy, and I think it's going to be to New England. I hope I'm wrong...I really do.
