Josh Gordon Traded to Pats

[Orion]

Mrs. Wife wants to know why we didn't try to trade him?

What should I tell her?

Immediate reaction is he relapsed and tried to play it off as injury. Will be very interested to see how it plays out.

So.... Dez?

Dez has more options now.  I'm sure he's looking at Seattle and another team now.

He's gonna kill it on the Pats

Tell her its like trying to trade a car without a battery. It can look really good but they still want to see it start

Finally.. maybe we can actually get a team of players who really want to play football

Reddit is saying he missed a meeting and blind sided the team on his hammy. It doesn't really add up though, I was hoping there was some inside info in here. I'm hoping the guy didn't relapse, won the generic lottery and maybe Shmucked it again.

Is what it is- what a waste of talent, you used up your final strike Josh.

I saw something about a missed meeting as well. Honestly for him missing a meeting followed by the late hammy report probably means things went south for him again. Sad really. I have to think the team expects a suspension is forthcoming, it not the release makes no sense 

[bjh2130]

He showed up late and was "not himself". They thought he was on something.

Giants and Colts have the first two waiver claims.

This is why the Browns will forever be the joke of the NFL ....... cue Pats signing him and then he gets 1000 yds and 12 TD's ......

Can we pretend Jackson faked an injury and cut him ?

I doubt anyone will want him.

That's possible, he had to be on a zero tolerance policy regarding missing a team meeting. But that he had another relapse is likely too.  the Browns have given him every chance in the world to get it together. If he flunks another drug test- he's done for good.  

[bjh2130]

If it was another drug test we will hear that tomorrow at the latest.

Hue Jackson - Statistically the worst coach in the history of the #NFL stays. Josh Gordon - Possibly a top 3 WR talent in this league who we have invested a lot of time into is released due to fibbing about a hamstring injury.

If he's "clean" he'll never get to the Pats on a waiver claim. If he flunks another drug test, he's gone for at least the rest of the year- go sit on the porch with Justin Blackmon and smoke your life away Josh. Sad, sad, sad.
