Josh Gordon
-
I really think we're going to know Gordon's future very soon. He's out of rehab, his application for reinstatement is probably submitted, right? He completed a 90 freaking day inpatient treatment plan, and that's pretty serious guys. That's a quarter of a year, living in a clinical setting, receiving treatment, working on issues, striving to be better. How is that NOT what the NFL wants? To say we need him is the understatement of the year, and the NFL knows this. They don't WANT our Browns to completely suck because it actually hurts their product. I fully believe the NFL will reinstate Gordon IF (biggest if ever btw) IF Gordon really did everything they asked.
-
So apparently Josh Gordon is back in Cleveland. There were tweets/Snapchat yesterday about his arrival and the hotel where he's staying. He does have a child here so he could be there for that or is he close to reinstatement?
-
It's like we all know...if...IF he's possibly reinstated, we likely won't hear a thing until one day seeing a story that says he's back. Just as likely, maybe MORE likely, is the opposite story saying, "Gordon rejected again." The NFL really tries to keep these things under wraps, so I wouldn't expect much info until the decision is announced...either way.
The good news for both Josh AND our fans is that the Browns have no choice but to keep him. As bad as our WR's currently are right now, we don't have the luxury of playing moral compass. If Josh can play, we'll throw him out there. I can almost promise it.
Cmon Josh...if there's anything that can help a young QB, it's a guy like you.

No reinstatement application from Josh Gordon, yet
Posted by Mike Florio on October 3, 2017, 12:53 PM EDT
Getty ImagesBrowns receive Josh Gordon ended a 90-day rehab stint last month. He is eligible to apply for reinstatement to the NFL. Per a league source, that hasn’t happened yet.
Gordon hasn’t filed yet even though former Olympian Tim Montgomery, who has been assisting Gordon, has said, “He’s coming. . . I think he’s going to be there this season.”
Even if Gordon files this week, the league has no deadline or timetable for resolving a reinstatement request. And since Gordon currently doesn’t have an agent to help Gordon through the process of filing his petition, the application may not move as quickly as it otherwise would.
Gordon, a second-round pick in the 2012 supplemental draft, last played in 2014, appearing in five games and catching 24 passes for 303 yards. In 2013, Gordon generated 1,646 receiving yards in 14 games.
It’s a shame that his talent has been wasted, both by his inability to comply with the league’s rules regarding off-field substance use and abuse — and by the league’s insistence to police the private lives of employees for things completely unrelated to their unemployment.

Sounds about right. He's probably already smoked a fatty and knows that he won't be reinstated.

Mike Florio & his damn coded double talk..I believe? Gordon or the players union can file PETITION stating "Hey I Want Reinstatement" per League Form..But Roger can Form APPLICATION to his Standards for his stamp of approval...could be wrong? but for damn sure,, I ever filed for being a Dope..
-
he's probably apply, and get re-instated for the last game of the season, get a signing bonus, and pull a hammy
in the practice on friday.
I don't care anymore about Gordon coming back, I think he's a lost cause.

Guessing this will be Goodell's or someone else's fault?

It is a bit curious he hasn't applied yet. Perhaps he's also trying to get his paternity issue ironed out to further demonstrate his taking on adult responsibility. Honestly whether Hue / Sashi want to bring him back or not I think cutting him if reinstated would cause a mass fan exodus.

Cutting a guy who has done everything to sabotage his own football career, since the day he enrolled in college to today would be the straw that broke the camel's back concerning Browns fans and their loyalty to this franchise?

I mean, the season is a quarter of the way over with, so if there's any hope of getting this thing done, it'd have to be done NOW. The only thing I can think of is that the NFL and Gordon could POSSIBLY have an arrangement, in that Josh continues to stay clean AND attends another rehab (which he attended), and if he's met the other conditions, his application will be reviewed with the assumption that he'll be reinstated. Think about it. Why would he attend another rehab stint? He just went earlier this year. There's been zero indication of poor behavior or failure to adhere to rules, other than speculation that he didn't do something right in August (nothing confirmed). And like the article said, there's no timetable for decisions on applications. It could literally take 30 minutes.
Look, the NFL wants to help Gordon. They want a good story showing they are compassionate and they want to help people. The NFL has enough negative press right now, and they know it. If Gordon truly is sober and he truly has done what was asked, then he has a shot. What would be the reason to keep him suspended? To punish? To prove a point? It literally doesn't make sense. Josh has made his bed, we get it, but at some point the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Jesus Christ the man smokes weed for crying loud. Here in Florida you can get a dang prescription for it, and it's far safer than any opioid pain killer.
You wanna talk about a shot in the arm? You want to see a WR who can win one on one match ups? Someone who can get deep or get yards after the catch? Give me Josh Gordon, Myles Garrett, Jamie Collins, and Danny Shelton, and then give me Corey Coleman back and let's see this team.
