It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Gronk (who I know is not a "WR" but he does receive the ball, and Moss (not that he had to jump for many balls) would disagree. Both are/were record setting receivers with Brady tossing them some balloons.Not sure if Gordon fits the kind of receiver belichick is looking for. He likes the smaller shifty types rather than the big guys who can catch jump balls.

He spent a 2nd round pick on Dobson hoping he could be a player like Gordon
I was sincere with my question. Wasn't sure what you meant so i asked.Edit... I reread your post.. He was talking about late second rounder.. So im pretty sure you are being sarcastic...so my post is no longer directed at you.
Of course i would but this is just fantasy land nonsense. If all it took was two late six rounders to get gordon.. Then he wouldnt be on the browns anymore.. There are 30 other teams, im sure over half of them would do that. the league ruled he is still under his rookie contract for two more years.. Which will be appealed im sure. But for two years he making like less than a million a year.. So i would think the browns are asking for a second.. And maybe take a third maybe not.. They might not even want to trade him.
Say the pats sign him and give up a third rounder to get him. If he gets caught doing anything he could be out of the league indefinitely. Sure, he's electric, but there's a ton of risk signing him too.
And it didn't exactly work out, right?
Lot of people on here saying why would the Browns wasn't to get rid of him. Why wouldn't they want to? Yeah the guy is talented young WR but does a new coaching staff looking to start fresh want someone on his roster who does not want to be there? Not only does the player not want to be there but as we all know is one infraction of getting suspended for the year. If I personally were a new HC of a team I would want guys on my roster who want to be there who want to help turn a dysfunctional organization around. Now lets be clear, I don't think the Pats make a move for him, but if they were going to I wouldn't give up more then a 4th rounder.
if you wouldn't send a late-round 2nd pick for JOSH GORDON you're out of your god damn mind.
To me, it's just another red flag that Gordon is saying he doesn't want to be in Cleveland... posting on twitter about his 1 good year where he made the pro bowl/all pro.. what gives him the right to say anything about what he does or doesnt want to do... the guy would be incredibly fortunate just for another opportunity at a career in the nfl... he's in no position to be whining about which team he does or doesn't want to play for..
He should be shutting his mouth and praying to the old gods and the new for the privilege of getting yet another chance to make lots of money playing a game.... instead, before he's even been reinstated, he's saying he doesnt want to be a Cleveland Brown and posting his accolades on twitter promoting himself
Agree that the substance of the substance abuse program is far from perfect, but everyone does have to play by it, and while it's occasionally confusing or counterintuitive it's not a secret.He did screw up on multiple occasions, but at the same time, some of the NFL's rules and policies that got him are ridiculous. A 1 year ban (followed by a permanent one for another offense) for something like marijuana or alcohol is absolutely insane. Maximum for repeated marijuana use should be 6-8 games.

Gotta side heavily with JarOMayo that all Gordon should be tweeting is pictures of him working out and all he should be saying, perhaps even privately, is something the theme of "I've learned a lot from this experience and if I get another chance I know I won't blow it" or "I'm hopeful that I'll be reinstated soon and I'm getting ready to tear it up for the Cleveland Browns, can't wait to meet my new coach and teammates"

Gordon would be great, but this is going to be like Forte all over again. We're going to say, "wow, wouldn't he be a great fit?" but then downplay the fact that probably 29 other teams in the league are thinking the same thing.
