So Josh Gordon's released a mini-documentary (on LeBron's Uninterrupted channel) about his substance abuse which coincides with his application for reinstatement. Sucks up to Goodell for a quick decision ( my words not his). Word on the street is that even if he's reinstated he'll still face a 4 game suspension.

Which is dumb.. Dude should be let back in without a suspension..

Unsympathetic

I hope Gordon has already gone through the only "hitting bottom" experience that he'll have. Not every addict will have only one.. so at this point it's just a hope. But for many, the moment of hitting bottom is required for them to stop the enabling/thinking it's all OK.

If he continues to choose to stay sober, he might have a few years left in the NFL. If not, good riddance.

Alright... here's my prediction and teased conspiracy theory on Josh's return...

Drum roll, please.

Prediction: Josh will be reinstated Week 13

The Theory: A Week 13 return means Josh will only be eligible for 5 games and thus not accrue 2017 towards FA.

I'll admit that I am not the most well versed on all the current CBA's rules regrading FA eligibility, but I believe his one-game, Week 17 suspension by the team was overturned on appeal by the NFLPA. The suspension was a fairly transparent effort to keep his rights for an additional year under the same accrual rule mentioned above.

Anyway... I think Roger owes us one (at least) and I think a delay until Week 13 is payback.

Josh Gordon should meet Goodell tomorrow for reinstatement, hopefully he'll be reinstated without an additional 4 wk suspension. Since the trade deadline's passed he'll be here for the rest of the season.

Gordon needs to get a job.

As Tour said, we don't want him reinstated until at least week 13.

Kizer causes the INT's by his poor accuracy. Yet, the Browns fans fails to understand that. The awful slant he threw against the Colts is a great example of that. Yeah, lets blame effing Britt.

i agree with you about kizer...he stinks...i'm a notre dame fan and he had his ups and downs...never really thought he was that good..but you look at watson vs kizer and the big difference is watson has control....the guy looks like he's been in the league 3 or 4 yrs already...he's amazing. I do have to say this about britt...he also sucks...2 of the worse free agents during this regime were rg3 and britt...and i think coachie coach was the one who got the f.o. to get rg3..thats why i don't like this coach. britt was probably the 2 morons with the analytics who will probably be fired very soon...

The sad thing here is that if Josh Gordon walked into

the locker room today and started in a game tomorrow

he would be our best receiver on the team.

I'm gonna say best player on the team.

I agree. But he'd still be the best player we have. Ya, we're that bad.

With that being said he will have a week to learn the Offense, something he has not had a chance to do. He will be overwhelmed from all the studying and probably flare one up to calm his nerves.

This team has been overwhelmed since the 4th play of the season, a blocked for a TD the other way.

Didya know the guy who founded AA was a total boozer too, until he "saw the light"? Putting Gordon back on the team costs us almost nothing. His pro rated salary for the remaining 8 games is $500k. That's around rookie minimum for an audition. So cool it with the criticism, and get some sense.

Gordon at 50% is better than any other wr we have on the roster.

If he got reinstated and we trade him I'd barricade th offices and hire a security army if I worked in the Browns offices lol. Seems to me there would be a mass mob with pitchforks.

For a guy who has failed one drug test after another since college?

Trading Josh Gordon would cause the Browns fandom to storm Berea? THAT would be the tipping point? Trading a WR who has pissed away his career?
