He can't be traded this season, so  what's the point you're trying to make?

That when he does return and ends the season with good yardage and a few TD's this front office will trade him....they always trade away talent

He has been reinstated ...can play November 27th onward

Why does he have to wait so long?  I mean, you have suspended him for like 2.5 years for practically nothing....because he was honest with himself and everyone else.  Not sure why they have to  add insult to injury.

I mean....I think it will take him that long to get in shape.......so...question.....can he now practice?

Yeah Cam Erving and Justin Gilbert really would have helped us this year

[darren15]

As would Haden and Gabriel

[flyingfooldoug]

When will he request to be traded?

[gumby73]

really good news..Josh must have came to the NFL offices more prepared with documentation than Martavis Bryant was not prepared with..Yesterday was a bad enough day but, Josh's rights could have been traded to another team..That did not happen..Something sounds a little different in Sashi's statement than how it was left when Josh decided on rehab..Welcome Back Josh..

Cleared to practice Nov 20th and back on field 27th. Should be active only 5 games leaving him under full year contract to Browns next year. BAM

[Westside Steve]

Do it!

Lets hope the history of Cris Carter repeats itself with Josh.

You have a month to wait till Gordon can actually play.  Lots of things can happen in the meantime.

Don't tell me what to do. Haha. When does Coleman comeback

[TexasAg1969]

Good for him and for us.

Bet PO lit up a few up he's so happy- I don't think he'll be able to communicate for at least a week.

Statement from Browns EVP of Football Operations Sashi Brown on Josh Gordon:

“We’ve been informed of the league’s decision to reinstate Josh. The personal well-being of all our players is of the utmost importance to us. We respect and commend Josh for taking the steps necessary to have the opportunity to return to the league. Josh will be in our building in the coming days and we look forward to having him back and sitting with him to discuss his future on our team.”

Which really means ..... I wonder if we can get a 4th and 5th round pick for him.....

On this team? You out of your mind? This is like Christmas come early. Even if Josh gives the Browns a lump of coal- it's worth the risk. Gordon knows this is absolutely his last chance to fly right. Stay straight guy, we need a talent like yours at WR.

Per NFL.com....

"Effective immediately, Gordon may join the Browns to attend meetings, engage in conditioning work and individual workouts," the league stated in a release. "Subject to compliance with clinical and other requirements, he will be placed on the Commissioner's Exempt list and be permitted to practice with the team beginning on Monday, November 20. Beginning Monday, November 27, Gordon will be eligible at the team's discretion to return to active status or to remain on the Commissioner's Exempt list for an additional week before returning to active status."

That's what we want!  Only 5 games.  6 games means it's an accrued year.  He belongs to us next year this way.

We cut both of them, genius. And most wanted Gabriel gone.

[bbedward]

Good thing we didn't trade his rights for a conditional 7th before the deadline.

Gonna need a reference on that. I recall there being much wailing and gnashing of teeth over Gabriel being cut. Mud being the most pissed.

Most? Nah he was a good receiver and he was cheap. More baffling was him and Hawkins getting cut. 

[Westside Steve]

For the record I always liked Taylor Gabriel and Andrew Hawkins.
