    As training camp gets set to begin, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has tweeted that he will not be present.

    The former All-Pro said that his absence is a part of his "overall health and treatment plan" and that both he and the Browns believe that this time away from football will "help me maintain the progress I’ve made for not only today but for many years to come."consumed alcohol before games earlier in his career and several other drugs, including marijuana, Xanax and codeine.

    In 40 games in Cleveland over the course of his career, Gordon has tallied 179 receptions for 3,089 yards and 15 touchdowns. Despite appearing in just 14 games in 2013, he led the NFL in receiving with 1,646 yards.

    Browns training camp is set to kickoff in Berea on Thursday.

  • Just heard the news that Gordon needs to come to Camp Late so here's an article about it:

    Statement from Cleveland Browns General Manager John Dorsey on Josh Gordon:

    We will continue to support Josh as he receives the care needed to maintain his progress. We are going to respect his privacy while he is away from the team. Josh will be placed on the non-football illness reserve list until he is ready to return.

    A Message from Josh Gordon:

    To my Cleveland Browns and NFL Family,

    I am reaching out to you all personally and letting you know that I am not only doing great physically but mentally as well. You will notice that I will not be in Cleveland for the start of training camp. Rest assured, this, too, is a part of my overall health and treatment plan. I appreciate the awesome support I have received from teammates, friends, fans, and the Browns organization. Just like you, I am excited to start the season and I have every intention of being ready and available to join my teammates soon to help bring winning football to our fans.

    With the help of the NFL, NFLPA, and the Browns’ organization, I have been able to utilize the resources available to me that will ensure my well-being on and off the field. By continuing to follow the plan set up by our medical director and his team and taking this time before this season starts, we believe it will help me maintain the progress I’ve made for not only today but for many years to come.

    Thank you all for your patience, love, and support! Go Browns!

    Sincerely,

    Josh Gordon

    ? Yeah, good idea.  I tried to delete my thread but it wouldn't let me - unless of course it would and I'm just not smart enough to figure it out...

    So based off this what I assume is going on is he came up with a specific plan when he was reinstated where if he saw himself or if the teams medical team saw him struggling with work, home life, mental health, what have you, he would take a step back and and focus on himself to help ensure he didn't relapse. This is the smart thing to do. I hope he comes back as soon as possible but I would rather see him miss most or all of camp and preseason than see him do something stupid and find himself out of the NFL for good. 

  • Anyone now 100% sure Josh is going to be their #1 WR for all 16 games?

    .......let's hope so.

  • Here we go again with this guy.

  • WAIT  ................. No     No.. it can't be............................ Ghoolie just wrote the Browns iwll struggle because THEY DO NOT HAVE playmakers. Oh, I know, you blowjobs create fantasy scenarios on PAPER where you actually believe the Browns are FINALLY packed with top quality playmakers, ( every year you a holes do this). Josh Gordon is NOT a top tier NFL reciever. He has skills, yes,  but he is not tough, he is not driven and he is not disciplined.

    SO NOW?  TOugh guy Dorsey is already reaching down to grab his ankles because Gordon...............who hasn't had a fukcking thing to do for 3 years............... NEEDS TIME to get his rehab progam and goals in order? LMAO @ Browns fans. You fukcktards believe whatever is fed to you, don't you?

    The Browns do not have a WR, RB, QB or TE that could start for any of last year's playoff teams, and likely not for 2/3s of the entire league.

    TIC TIC TIC.............. can you hear it? Can you feel it starting to crumble? A team without a foundation is destined to keep losing.

    THe Steelers are going to butt phukc the Browns on opening day.

    Calling out an organization for having the health of a player as its priority is pathetic, even for you.

    Gordon is a recovering alcoholic- and if this "treatment" helps keep him sober, it's a good thing.

    And he had less talent than this years Browns team.  It's been said that Ghoolie just like to get our goats.  Starting to believe that.

    Certainly Ghoolie should be able to empathize with a recovering alcoholic....shouldn't he?

  • The bottom line here is that Josh Gordon CANNOT be counted on.

    DOH!!!   Either Ghoolie is just playing dumb blond (or is it dumb bald)....or he really, really pays NO attention whatsoever to what goes on in football....or, he is simply just epically obtuse.
