Breaking News: Browns to release Josh Gordon

[broncosmitty]

The league decides he can't even lick alcohol and suddenly they're the good guys? The league is fucked up and they should fix their degenerate ways. The best players should play.

You hate to hold people accountable, don't you?

Apparently, he wants a deal to either SF or Dal. If that's the case, I hope he ends up in Texas.

He has a lot of respect for Shanahan and they must've hit it off the one year they were together so him wanting to go the 9ers isn't a huge surprise.

As a 9er fan I'm for send the Browns something like conditional 2020 6th or 7th rounder. I wouldn't build the roster around Gordon or anything but if he's a hit you'll knock it out of the park and he screws up you cut him and you're out a pick that would've been used on a guy that likely wouldn't have made the roster anyways.

I'm very leery of bringing in a guy who has the baggage that Gordon brings....especially with someone like Rueben Foster already there. It seems counter culture to what Lynch has talked about in building the team, but Matt Maiocco has reported that SF has indeed made a call to Cleveland.

 

[GNG]

He was elite anyway and the league kept him from playing and demonstrating his elite talents for fans.

Work on your conditional analysis skills. The NFL policy is the primary condition for Gordon not playing. His action is a secondary condition.

He was playing just fine when he was ripping bongs pregame. The league didn't have to do anything, but they did. It was completely up to them whether or not to restrict access to this opportunity.

I am holding the league accountable for writing up a policy that diminishes the overall talent level on the field and helps no one anywhere. Don't let them off the hook so easily. Hold them accountable for their actions.

You would bring him in on a very short leash. If he starts screwing up you show him the door and you're not out much.

But if he's fully committed then you have legit #1 WR talent on your roster for just something like a 7th rounder.

Blame the rule, not the rule breaker. I can’t think of a more asinine frame of thought.

agree

Look at the rule, CcUuNnTt.

 

[Manster7588]

Look at the rule, CcUuNnTt.

The rule is banning a federal illegal substance. I'd take Gordon in Dallas, but I'm not defending him or Gregory over a rule thr broke.

simple to me. You can smoke all you want after pocketing millions.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Look at the rule, CcUuNnTt.

Stay clean, Become a multimillionaire.

If someone can’t follow that simple rule, it’s their fault 100% of the time. Anybody who thinks otherwise is just stupid.

I guess you’re just stupid

No where in that federal rule does it say the NFL must test for it. Stop passing the buck. The league is accountable here. Quit trying to blame the government. It's totally up to the league whether or not Gordon's kind and culture can play.

Gordon didn't ban himself. The league did.

Gordon didn't write the rule. The league did.

Try to be accurate. Try to keep up.

 

[CaptainStubing]

only the browns could decide to release a player and then 'decide' to trade him after multiple teams called and offered a draft pick when they heard he was going to be released ...

And no where in the federal rule say the NFL can't test for it. It was banned long before Gordon and Gregory stepped foot on a NFL field.

Your argument is weak especially considering the NFLPA agreed to the ban.

Stop defending rule breakers.

The rule was there before Gordon, therefore the punishment is on him.

The League and PLAYERS agreed to the rule.

Try to keep up.

This is a ridiculous argument. I can't think of a single business that does not do drug testing. Can you name an entity that does not?
