I'd rather take a chance on a top level player who is still on his rookie deal and costing us nothing. If he is going to make a comeback it might as well be with the Browns. There is a much better chance of Gordon returning to form than finding a sleeper stud in the 6th round. Not to mention, if they were going to trade him why would trade him after 2 preseason games and not back 2 seasons ago when he was initially suspended. You know, when his stock was high after owning the NFL. You're the same guy who thought the eagles were going to be a top 2 pick. If the Browns were looking to hire one of us in the FO, I would take my judgement over yours easily.

From what I've read from Browns beat writers, he's done with Browns. Also, it's safe to suspect that this "decision of his own" is ahead of yet another failed test.

You're being a smart ass to me....for saying this whole time that they should trade him while they can still get something...anything....before he gets kicked out of the league...and I was right....and you are the one still holding onto the "still wouldn't trade him" EVEN AFTER HE GOES INTO REHAB?!?! Please tell me you still think he'll come back and play for the Browns

Can't believe I was reeled in to this horrible argument. I just hope the guy somehow becomes a productive member of society, but looks quite unlikely. This kid needs help big time. I'd guess death before 30 before I would 5 more career TD

SportsAndLady;1813184 wrote:I just don't agree with trading someone because you think he might get suspended again. It's a horrible philosophy. Yes, you ended up being correct that Josh Gordon probably won't play another down in the NFL, but I still don't think your philosophy is a good one. You don't trade someone because you think they could get in trouble again.

And I wasn't being a smart ass at all. Getting a sixth rounder in 2015 wasn't going to change this franchise around, so not sure why you're making this such a big deal lol

Should have traded him for anything; even a 6th round pick is better than a 10% chance he plays 3 games a year. I said the same thing from Day 1 about JFF and Gordon has the exact same problem. After his good season, he was worth a lot and we should have traded him then and his value decreased because teams realized he wasn't worth much if he only can play 3 games a year.

However, I can't blame the Browns for just moving on, even if he returns and stars elsewhere. Sometimes you have to just get away from the situation.
