Bell pisses me off. Hate that fucker but man he is good and with him they could be a legit contender. Another incident and I think they should get rid of him for whatever they can.

They should absolutely dump him. If he's still in the league in 2 years, I'll be shocked.

Is he 1 strike away from kicked out, or is his next a year long?

Pretty sure next is a year long ban. At that point, as browns fans know, what are you really gonna get for him? I would likely push to get rid of him but if that window is still there with Ben, Brown et al then man it makes that decision harder to make. The window is going to close and close quickly with BR getting older, Brown about to break the bank.

So glad we took the risk on keeping him. Really turned out well for the team.

S&L and others continue to support him; be like Hue, admit you were wrong and move on.

They took a risk and lost. Doesn't mean they made the wrong choice. Their ideology was right. You don't trade/cut a player because he can't stop smoking weed because the risk of him signing for another team and getting his act together and going on to 10 pro bowls is far too high when the alternative is just to do nothing.

I can see the Steelers running Le'Veon Bell into the ground this year and then letting him walk. The RB class is stacked next year and there's no way they are giving Bell a massive long-term deal.

So as long as you take risk and you lose its okay?

Agreed they took a risk; they chose poorly; they were wrong.

Admit it.

Dont be so hard on them. They have a very solid history of making fantastic, sound and solid decisions for the franchise and once in awhile it doesnt pan out.

If my team's FO makes a decision, and I agree with their ideology in making that decision, I'm not going to say they were wrong.

They made the right move. Just didn't pan out.

Cool, so you want the Browns to trade away every single player that gets in trouble. Got it.

You actually expect SL to admit that he, and the browns, made a mistake?
You are off your game, you know that shit isnt ever going to happen.

You're a loser who's wife is fucking other guys while you post novels on the OC message boards that no one even reads. Congrats on your shitty life.

The Browns did not make a mistake with Gordon. Gordon made the mistakes and is now going to be out of football.

Right? Gotta love when redneck chimes in. Don't forget to mention he cares more about Cleveland teams losing than any one of his "teams." Truly a pathetic life.

I would like them to trade players that can't stay eligible to play more than a few games a year. Especially if there are trade offers on the table.

Not sure why this concept is over your head but its likely due to your unwillingness to admit that the Browns made a poor choice.

So does anyone (S&L) actually watch games? Watson hasn't looked good since Alabama last year. Not saying Kizer is awesome but if you love a qb and need one, Watson isn't your first pick

I'd be ok without a qb but if you're in the camp of must need one, it is far from clear cut

The Browns had discussions about Gordon with other teams as recently as last week and were looking to acquire a first- or second-day draft pick, sources told Schefter.
S&L? The Browns agree with me as well. If Gordon didn't give one last finger to the Browns by entering rehab, the Browns would have likely got a 3rd round pick at worst.

Reality!
