The Josh Gordon Thread: Pats Officially Acquire Gordon for Fifth-Round Pick

Gordon's car just pulled up at Gillette

Could you as a Reporter ask if he's playing this Sunday After that response??
Add to that Practice is closed to the Media.

Josh Gordon is going to have 4 receptions for 64 yards this Sunday and in the post-game press conference, Bill Belichick is going to say "look, I can't talk about Josh Gordon until the trade is officially completed....."

Oh come on, BB is not doing this because of the media. What I would guess is happening is this is all about controlling Josh’s ego. BB is taking this as slow and casual as possible to emphasize to Josh that he shouldn’t be under any illusion that he’s being brought here to be the “savior” of the offense. That he better not think that the Patriots are in any way beholden to him now, and that they can just as easily drop him and go about their day in a second if he goes one step out of line. So he better not come in here thinking he’s the cats ass.

Sings "Legalize it."

There has been some speculation that Cleveland also owns somebody else's 7th round pick, IIRC Kansas City's, which would no be as good as Cleveland's, but maybe we get that unconditionally. So it would be more like a full two round drop rather than 35 picks or so, if KC stays good and Cleveland is near the bottom, like most feel.

I think and I base that on standing by him while he missed 2 full seasons and 2/3 of others and bailed on the team twice.

You are the one who said you “guarantee” he didn’t so your proof or lack thereof would be the “big difference”.

Standing by, and being proactive are two different things.

I asked you for proof, and your response is to say that I'm responsible for citing proof, so as usual you are being evasive.

The burden of proof is on you, because you are making a statement that is totally contrarian to the nature of the Browns organization which we all know is synonymous with incompetence. It's not a stretch for me to make a "guarantee" that's consistent with the history of that organization.

I hope they get this done before the Start of Practice!

Is nobody going to correct these guys on their basic math concerning the ages of Dez and Hogan?

Get Deus in here...he's a great poster...really bright...uses GIFs and stuff.

Correct, some people got the math wrong. But Edelman is indeed just shy of being a year and a half older than Hogan, and missed last season with a torn ACL. Why is he immune from the aging WR cliff that you proclaim Hogan to be hanging from?

Are you talking to the air? The conversation in here seems deliciously one-sided after implementing the ignore function.

I was watching while on the treadmill and he had the "************ how many times do I have to say the trade isn't completed" face.

My Gawd, lets just get this over with already.

The Browns have three 7th round picks next year, according to this link, at least conditionally:

Maybe they are discussing which one it will be and have differing opinions as to the language they agreed on

Cleveland's 2019 picks, Seventh round:
Own pick;
Jaguars' pick (conditional via Cody Kessler trade);
49ers' pick (conditional via Shon Coleman trade).

What picks do the Browns have in the 2019 NFL Draft?

Jesus.. at this point I almost wish this thread was more about @robertweathers and his on and off dating in high school.

I appreciate B.B.s humor, but sometimes I get sick of the way he handles the press.

Nice, we sure need to give Danny Etling PS QB competition next year.

I’m so confused. How can a trade not be official once it’s passed the trade wire? The trade was made official, how can it be made non official.
