    Is that what he said?

    I remember more along the lines of not going to go crazy with FA spending as the path to building a sustained winner is through the draft. But that key additions would be made as they presented themselves.

    According to OvertheCap we have 3 extra compensatory draft picks - 2 in the 4th, one in the 5th - for Skrine, Sheard, Hoyer.

    Yes Z, but not really so. When we send Johnny marching Home, ($4.3 million), and (probably) release Bowe ($4.6 million), that looks like a zero sum game.

    another Gordon failure is very, very possible. I never saw Gordon all in on playing

    football when he -wasn't- suspended.

    and he's still making excuses about his upbringing. Maybe the first time or two I could accept that,

    depending...

    but seriously... any player who had been in trouble as he has been in... "thinks the no alcohol only lasted

    til the season was over"..

    ???

    What ever happened to "get off your ass and find out the specifics, find out from your agent....make sure

    you get to play football".

    But no, he just goes by what he "thinks". That is witless, and maybe he isn't smart enough to learn the playbook..

    and maybe getting suspended was cover for that.

    I don't know, but if I could trade him for a second round pick... I'd do it.

    It's possible he can come back, be serious, really want to be that player he COULD HAVE BEEN...

    but who knows. I believe this coaching staff will judge him based on his interview if he's reinstated,

    and the look in his eyes that he's serious.

    Okay, even a third round pick. dammit.

    You realize he was on a plane with Joe Haden and Cleveland Browns coaches when he got popped, right? I don't think it was feigned ignorance, especially with coaches present. It was just pure ignorance all around, and for that he's less to blame.

    I put more stock in his first suspension than the most recent one.

    pretty sure that first one was for cough syrup...then, after passing over 70 tests, he gets hit with the microscopic 15mls for weed....then, after another 70 passed tests, he gets whacked for 2 drinks with team mates and coaches(after posting pics)....

    Dude is a mess

    You're ignorant as fuck if you think a good amount of other players aren't doing the same, if not more than Josh Gordon. He's not a pariah.

    Josh isn't smart enough to not get caught, it seems. But stop.

    Really easy to not get caught... IIRC there's only a three month window for players not in the "substance program" to be tested... and once tested and clean there is no more testing until the next window.

    So basically you have to refrain for maybe 4 months max (one month and a day min) and you're good to go...

    ... so long as a dime bag isn't laying on the passenger seat during a traffic stop or some similar idiotic move.

    One former medical personnel called it an ā€œintelligence test, because itā€™s once a year, and you know itā€™s coming.ā€
