Does Gordon ever play for the Browns again?

Yes. Josh is a good kid. This suspension also suspends his contract, so he can come back next year, prove himself and play into a big contract the next year.

Josh is a huge asset.

Zombo

We should be able to get him at a huge discount also.

if he's a huge asset, then he's more like an IRA......meaning he looks good on paper and "might" be there for you someday(keep in mind that THIS fund has performed poorly in the past).....but is pretty worthless if you need him right now......

I don't see that happening or it would have happened in virtually every suspension.

Not true. You have to have a good enough case that the NFL is in the wrong for a judge to issue the restraining order.

Zombo

@douche-nozzle said:
And exactly how do you know this?

From all accounts.

He's never been accused of anything other than smoking one nanogram too much of pot or drinking a half of an ounce too much of vodka.

Your quarterback on the other hand ... big piece of shit.

From all accounts.

handcuff him to bill o'reilly for a year. if he doesn't die of boredom at least you know he's not getting laid or smoking trees.

... too busy passing Billo the "muther-fucking iced tea"...

arghh......so, if that comes true, then this whole season will just be one massive non stop never ending Johnny and Josh media frenzy.....

Im already sick of him and his problems..... If he drags us through a whole year of this drama, then he IS a completely selfish asshole.....

And if he was on another team or a just crappy player, ALL OF YOU would say the same......

But he isn't a crappy player. And if the team goes to the playoffs on the back of another Josh Gordon 1600+ yard, 9+ TD Season, then you'll be singing a different tune.

I can wait a year for that. Get your shit together Josh

I don't trust him but it really costs us nothing to ride it out. My bigger concern is that he was a flash in the pan and like Peyton Hillis about to take a step down in productivity.

But unless we are taking a big cap it why not keep him on a flier?

Ive never heard that concern.... From anyone. Dude is a beast and sometimes completely unguardable

Comeonman

And another thing. All these Cris Carter comparisons I'm hearing on eBSpn are fucking dumb. The dude was using coke and amphetamines while Josh is smoking pot (or being around it like an idiot). Josh needs a fucking father not a drug counselor

I'm guessing you caught his phone in to NFL Live today. Chris had Trey Wingo wishing he'd taken the day off...

Canton Mike

We'll see what happens, but could he go to the CFL until the air clears (LOL), then come back to the NFL in the future, or would his contract prohibit that?

He hasn't looked very good during the preseason. the best we can hope for is that hes still the best and remains that way for another 24 months..

Didn't see that. Elaborate

slowburn

With talent like JR's I think the Browns will do anything and everything to help him do the next right thing. Life coaches, personal trainers, chefs...anything. Lets hope he doesn't pull a Justin Blackmon

by allowing his substance usage to speed up his journey to the bottom...whatever that may be.

If that was the first time you heard him speak, you would think they just pulled some crackhead off the street and made an NFL analyst out of him

Not necessarily relevant to Josh and this suspension BUT the inability to discontinue smoking weed at the expense of a multi million dollar career is no less of an addiction issue than that of coke or amphetamines. Think about it, if its not an addictive behavior issue noone would risk it like that.

I would rather pull my own fingernails out with a pair of pliers than listen to Cris Carter speak.

Josh needs to have a serious talk with Tyrann Mathieu. Three years ago Mathieu was where Josh

is today. Gordon is 23. HB is proof that you can reattain your focus and grow up and have a shot

at a productive career.

If it isn't costing the Browns anything, why not keep him around. Just make it clear that the next fuck-up

we will wash our hands of you.

cuwoohio

The crawler on ESPN says Gordon may consider the CFL. How does that work with NFL contracts?

He is a disturbed fuckwad! If someone offered you a job and agreed to pay you a HUGE amount of money but you signed a contract agreeing not to wear blue shirts......and you keep showing up for work wearing blue shirts.........you're an idiot. But I see why you sympathize with him.......you actually believe, week after week, that the Browns are a good football team.

He was just sitting next to someone wearing a blue shirt. Second-hand shirt.
