Josh Gordon Traded to Pats
-
Gunz, I am not talking about having compassion for Josh Gordon the man. However, open your other eye and consider this..................
The Browns team coached and fans have forgiven him over and over. Money has been spent, promises have been repeatedly broken, and now, lies come out in abundance. Not just Josh lying about why he missed training camp, but lies from his doctors and caregivers, from his agent, and from anyone who was close to him. Consider the money, time, energy and momentum this franchise lost by putting things on hold for him?
Gordon wasn't just late to practice, he lied about the reason being a hurt hamstring, and as you will see in the reports coming out (they will minimize the language) but people we know pretty high up have already passed the word, he smelled of booze and pot. He was drunk AND high.
Man, you can soft-sell this all you want, but this makes the Browns organization look stupider than ever. To not see this coming? To not sign someone and cut ties with this guy months ago? Inexcusable. Josh Gordon is a junkie. Until he stops lying about his " sobriety" and how important it is to him and admits that he is a habitual liar, deceiver, and addict he will never get better.
Dorsey has egg on his face
All of that may very well be true, but I know I have never made any type of comments about him.
My point is I think it is a little harsh to call him the names and had the things said that have been written on here (again, not specifically 1 person). But to call him a piece of sh## is wrong to me. We dont know what he has been through or any of his situation or past. Again, the football player part needs no sympathy, he has had way too many chances and you just can't count on him. But the man, he deserves our sympathy and prayers that he can get it all straightened out.
John 8:7 "Let he that is without sin let he cast the first stone"
What I hope for Mr Gordon is that whether he ever plays another down or not, I hope he can help people at high risk to have the same issues as himself. Turn his life around and help others become better people as well.
Prayers for all of you and Josh.
God Bless

The Browns are doing their best to Browns this whole season. First they release Coleman, who is now with NE. Then they release Kendricks who is now in Seattle... and now to top it all off they are talking about releasing Gordon... WTF!
Haslam- if you ever want to win a motherShmucking game, you need to check Hue and Huever else is riding their high horse cowpoop.

Coleman is useless with a questionable attitude
Kendricks is a criminal about to be sent down
Gordon is an addict who has blown yet another chance
The only thing the browns are guilty of is giving these players too many chances
A player with half the talent but 100% commitment is way better than all the talent and 50% commitment. Give gordons spot to someone who really wants it

Wow what a thread... Minimal info = Maximum speculation...
And then there's the cherry on top... Phoolie reverting to form and making the thread all about himself. Now there's a guy who should be cut. Clearly he's on something.

His trade value is even less now they put out they plan on releaseing him.
True but he is still on the rookie salary correct? If he's a free agent they can ask for the Moon.
I heard the reason they can cut him even though he says he's injured his because the injury didn't happen at practice or during a game but at a photoshoot. So now he has to stay away from weed booze and Nikons.

I don't get the media using the words "showed up to practice". It was on a Saturday? yes/no? Yea, I can believe there was team meetings, Than throw on a suit to get bussed to airport to fly to NOLA...When's the last time a guy battling anxiety issues flew on a plane? No excuse to show up fried, but signs point to Josh has a illness he can't solely control? maybe meds too?

i think he was very highly.liked on both sides of the ball, thats why this is gonna be a morale killer. But yeah im also syre no one is terribly syrprised either
True.
Josh Gordon seems like a likable enough person. He isn't Terrell Owens.
I totally get why so many people rooted for Josh Gordon the person. What I didn't get is how so many Browns fans seemingly threw away any logic regarding him as a member of the Browns.

Unfortunately I'm one of the knuckleheads that put logic in a gas fire. Gotta confess - he beat the tar out of me over the years. When he first arrived I was all - "let's give the guy a chance." Fooled me once, fooled me twice and then I went all about-face the next few years posting WTF are we wasting our time on this guy for? Next thing I know I'm finding myself all in on his "Come to Jesus" moment with finally taking the drug addiction and career serious. Gee, there's a surprise - Flugel has his village idiot hat on before week 2 kicks off. That wasn't cheap either. I had to fill out an id ten t form to get it. Here's what that form looks like in all caps - ID10T.
There's allegedly a handful of teams interested (per ESPN's Adam Schefter) - so can we at least get more than a 7th round pick for him? Or, do we massacre that too?

if dorsey was the one who let it out they were cutting josh, than now expects some trade value....haslem ought to fire his butt before sundown. Wtf? ur not getting sht now dumbass.

dont you think he called around first though?
Id give him that

What a long strange trip it’s been.
I can’t help think that Gordon being on the team created some unsavoriness within the locker room and how he was basically given an exemption on training camp and more.
I mean, that’s what creates the bond between a team is going through the same crap, both good stuff and bad, day in and day out, together. It works for a football team as well as a glee club.
The only thing l can liken it too is when Josh Hamilton and his troubled past joined the Reds. He actually performed well for them and didn’t screw up, but there were rumblings about how others on the team didn’t care for the preferential treatment he was getting, and boom, he was later traded.

dorsey got here Dec 7th..trade deadline passed Oct.3rd.Hue may know his trade value than?.He knows Josh trade value is no more than a 6/7th comp.pick at best. if he fails? nobody sees nothing. Dorsey did the right thing to a team that can claim him on a million for a year than what player will see being cut monday. Who's giving Josh a new FA deal?

Gee, who didn't see his "Just Call Me Tom" personality losing out to his alpha with a bottle personality "Ghoolie" for the 999th time? The artist formerly known as Ghoolie lasted 4 days this time?
