Was just coming to post this story. I'll add here a link to John Dorsey's statement about it. https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/statement-from-browns-gm-john-dorsey-on-josh-gordon
Don't you mean couldn't care less?
Wasn't he performing poorly before his suspension? I think fantasy owners need to learn to quit giving up good value in trades for this guy. As for those who got him cheap, no big deal.Pet peeve for me!Don't you mean couldn't care less?
Right and when someone as credible as Shefter is reporting he's absolutely not failed a test and is just being proactive don't you think it's a little early to overreact?
Nothing says NFL baller like "feeling vulnerable" heading into TC.
Failure to show for a test or make yourself available to the test is a failed test. So no.
I made this statement in his player thread, but if a guy can't be ready mentally for the start of training camp, that can't be a good thing. What changes from July until September? If he can't handle the mental aspect of training camp then how can he handle the regular season?
And I posted in another thread that he has to follow the recommendation of the NFL/NFLPA jointly appointed medical advisor. That's what appears to be going on here. That's cause for some element of concern. What it's not is a failed test or a pending suspension. It's also not to me a sign that he can't handle the mental aspect of training camp.
Hi Joe, I don't really know but that's not stopped me from forming theories.
I think he is playing a clown. As in, "he's not here so by definition something happened to keep him out. I never said anything about the details or what or the severity I just said 'something' so I was right"
To me this isn’t saying much. He was clarifying a tweet of his that was kind of dumb. He tweeted that the rumors going around about Gordon we now know are true. His clarification is saying something like well the rumors were something happened that would interrupt his recovery. He’s not going to be at the start of camp so something did happen to interrupt that. He doesn’t seem to have any specific information. Just somewhat defending while also sort of backing off a fairly stupid previous tweet.
Honestly, I think he's just back pedaling. Typical twitter news. Be the "first" to get something out, which he tweeted "the rumors were true." Then when he was pressed about what specific rumor was true, he clarified saying "something" was affecting him to start camp. Just typical person trying to be first to get something out, make it vague, then try to clarify it with something more vague.
Not just backpedaling, but moving the goalposts as well. He said that something would be affecting his recovery, but now he's changed it to say that something is affecting his ability to be at training camp.
The first tweet has zero substance: he doesn't address what the rumors are.
good lord
i mean, gordon seems quite different than most veteran starters, no?

We are discussing a skill position involving a player whose conditioning rivals many if not most players What exactly would you hope to accomplish other than noting your QB isn't terribly consistent or perhaps a bit playbook challenged Personally, I would suspect its almost a good thing because it avoids the risk of injury via overzealous play
He left the team right as his 4 game suspension was ending to go to rehab I believe after failing a test, but before that was publicly known. That was the year before last though I think.
