He absolutely should be brought in.

 

[TBR]

Trade a 6th to the Browns for Gordon
Trade a 4th to Arizona for Fitzgerald
Trade a 3rd to Detroit for Megatron

Why not?

Gorgeraldtron! If we combine them, this could possibly be the most dominant WR of all time.

"An honest mistake cost him a season"? I was thinking he was a pothead blowing millions of dollars because he wouldn't comply with not smoking at certain times. Wouldn't mind working him out, but always thinking WTF.

He had drinks on a flight after clevelands last game 20 months ago because he thought his no drinking allowance was over. It was right in front of coaches. Neither he, nor his agent, nor his coaches were aware that he had to wait until the end of the sb before he could have a drink. that mistake cost him all of last year.

Why not?

Because there isn't room for those 3 on the roster after Randy Moss comes out of retirement

He's eligible to apply for reinstatement next week.
He's gotten screwed over by Goodell -- an honest mistake cost him an entire season.
Thoughts on if he'll be allowed back in, or will the NFL drag their feet?

1. 2010 - found passed out in a car with a teammate and pot...suspended from Baylor
2. 2011 - fails a drug test and is kicked off the team (Baylor)
3. 2013 - 1st NFL substance abuse violation...2 game suspension
4. July 2014 - arrested for DWI...2nd substance abuse violation...1 year suspension (reduced to 10 games)
5. Dec 2014 - suspended by the Browns for violating team rules
6. 2015 - 3rd substance abuse violation...suspended for 1 year by NFL
7. 2016 - application for reinstatement denied due to failing a drug test
8. 2017 - enters rehab

yes...what a poor mistreated and persecuted soul he is...

Z-E-R-O sympathy for any player that doesn't learn touching a hot stove will burn you.

and FYI, 7...count them... 7 times getting busted for violating substance abuse policies and being kicked off 2 separate teams is not "an honest mistake"

saying Josh Gordon just made an honest mistake is like saying Antonio Cromartie has a good pull out game...

There is probably a whole population of NFL players who enjoy their buzz just as much but manage to stay out of trouble through some sensible timing and an UBER account. That's probably the most damning thing about Gordon, unless he's genuinely a sauced out freak 24/7.

Maybe but clearly the Patriots are ok with WRs who have a history of substance abuse problems.

We brought in Michael Floyd. Why is this any different?

We brought in Michael Floyd. Why is this any different?

other than the fact that Michael Floyd didnt spend 2+ years not playing football because of his issues?

Floyd, like Gordon is a substance abuser. We took a flyer on him.

Difference is Gordon is s much better football player and is still in his physical prime at only 26 years old

 

[Love The Drake]

Keep hope Alive!
Why would Cleveland ever trade him though he's cheap and doesn't seem to be a malcontent.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Malcolm mitchell will hopefully return off IR at some point...no need for gordon.

Floyd

That confident in his durability, huh? DA too?
