Just because other teams offer, and we listen, doesn't mean we are shopping him. Ya gotta listen. But I wouldn't trade him for Two #1's right now ... he's a franchise receiver.

Again, to me, this seems just a case of Lombardi NOT caring about winning unless it is done with players he has chosen. Clearly Gordon is a beast....an outstanding receiver. Anyone that would trade him would be doing it out of pure hubris for his own ego. Fear that he is going to go off and get suspended? STUPID. Even if he does, so what.

Zombo OK, so it may be Banner, moreso than Lombardi that has a hard on about getting rid of Heckert chosen players. Because I believe he has some sort of grudge against Heckert from Philly days, and he takes it out on Heckert's players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Gordon has been simply spectacular and has the all the characteristics of a #1 receiver ... hands, speed, size ... he is probably the best draft pick we have made since 1999. We are three and o with him. HIs stats in those three games prorated to a 16-game schedule: 96 catches, 1,648 yards 11 TDs I simply can't imagine the Browns wouldn't want to keep a 22 year old receiver with those tools, playing that well.

TopDawg31 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I believe our FO wants the NFL public to know they will listen to any offer hoping that a blockbuster "DITKA" offer just might come along. I believe Gordon should be valued higher that a 2nd round. Can you imagine the type of year he would have with Brees or P. Manning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yep, gotta listen when someone offers to buy your car parked in the driveway, you'd be stupid not to.

miktoxic Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 i just hope they aren't trigger happy because of his past off the field issues. go ballistic? they wouldn't be enough security guards in cleveland and berea for what would happen. he/they would truly look like the biggest schmucks in cleveland football history if they were to gut this team of our legit pro talent. right behind modell holmgren shurmur (i'm sure there are others but i'm too high right now to look anything up). great. they got us a #1 for TR. they did good in FA and did ok in the draft. what else do you have to prove that you are the brett maverick of nfl wheeler and dealers?

It's hard to sell him higher than a second considering he was a second rounder and he's one strike away from a full suspension. That's the bargaining chip any offering team has.

USFBrown Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Bone head move of the century if they trade him away. The draft is a crap shoot and Gordon is a proven player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowburn Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Now, the kid has trade value. Next time he pops positive he is adios......with zilch trade value. Obviously the Browns FO does not have a lot of faith that he can stay clean. If the Browns don't have a good feeling about his long term sobriety you gotta ask yourself why any other FO would. Any team that makes an offer won't risk much and will offer a pittance. Browns should keep him and hope for the best in terms of his substance abuse issues. They already know he can make plays and help them win games. If a Gordon trade could come to fruition, and if it were up to me, I would look for RB's to shore up our questionable run game. McGeeheehee, a damaged Ogbo and Rainey prolly won't get it done. Oops, I forgot,, it doesn't matter how good your running game is since it is a totally QB driven league. What the hell was I thinking? FWIW, I would try to get Giovani Bernard. The bungholes would most likely not give him up to an AFC north foe but it's ok to at least dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcam222 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Trading him is nothing short of tanking the season. The risk is there for sure but we will never get the right offer commensurate with his skill level. You could draft WR in the 1st round for the next 10 years and not get a Josh Gordon caliper receiver. You have to assume the risk on him and hope for the best. If you win the roll you have an elite WR who could become the best in the game. If you lose the roll you blew a 2nd round pick. That is not such a rare occurrence.

Comeonman Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Gordon is one of three players on this team you absolutely cannot trade. I wouldn't let him go for two first rounders. Would any other team give up an elite WR, which Gordon is, for any kind of draft pick? No, why should Cleveland be the only stupid one. I know it's just discussion but it still pisses me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
