Both Gordon and rookie Johnny Manzielwere absent from the Browns' walk-through Saturday morning, and the team had trouble locating them, a source close to the team told ESPN.com's Pat McManamon.

Gordon also was late getting onto the practice field Friday and emerged from the team's facility for the outdoor workout wearing teammate Travis Benjamin's jersey.

The Browns did not mention Manziel in their release, and it is not clear if the injured quarterback was required to attend the walk-through. Manziel suffered a hamstring injury in last week's loss to Carolina and was ruled out for the finale against Baltimore (9-6), who is battling for a playoff berth.

what else is new?

This from a team that deactivates guys due to poor practice. Nothing to see here.

This head coach is nothing special. QB, RB and now WR mistakes. Something more to this. I am guessing people dont want to play for this coach.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Good. Maybe he'll be on another team next season.

The suspension will prevent him from being an unrestricted free agent after the 2015 season. He would have needed six games to earn a credited season. The one-game suspension by the Browns gives Gordon five games this year, making him a restricted free agent after 2015, not unrestricted.

Interesting. So coming late to practice actually could make it easier for the Brown's to trade him.

Didn't know 6 games was a season... Couldn't the team just take advantage of this? I feel this is a bad policy that can be abused by teams.

You know...somebody from the equipment team just happens to "misplace" Gordon's jersey, causing him to have to search around for an extra 15, 20 minutes and eventually having to show up late in Mr. Benjamin's jersey. Those extra 15 minutes enough of an excuse to suspend a guy who's one game from hitting the FA market...seems too easy.

No that would never fly... this is all Gordon's fault.

 

[grateful zed]

how many threads do we have about this?

There we go. It took 13 posts before somebody complained about having more than one overbloated, years old thread about one player. The Shark Pool is slipping.

How many times to you expect players to have only played in five regular season games, and the team not needing him to play during the last week? If a team tried to pull something like that I'm sure the NLFPA would be getting involved. That likely isn't what happened here.

So glad I traded him for a 1st rounder in my keeper league. Someone else can deal with the headache.

I'm truly amazed at the number of people flipping out like there isnt any dirtiness by the Browns here. Wait, Gordon smoked weed a few times so he is guilty of everything. Kid is a knucklehead but the Browns have a bad stink from costing him a year because he was late to a practice? This coaching staff is brutal and people automatically think Gordon did wrong here because he smoked weed and a team that benefits from his suspension says so.

Take it a step further, Blount can be on 4 teams in 5 years go back to Patriots again and people still shout of his ability. The fact that people do not realize talent is what matters in the NFL is funny.

He could be suspended for 4 games again and a team will be kicking down his door still.

Rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel, who vowed this week that he's matured and is "not the same Johnny Manziel that showed up here'' in May, was also late Saturday morning for treatment on his pulled hamstring and will be fined. He's on injured reserve and couldn't participate in the walk-through -- but it didn't go well in the building that he was late nevertheless.

Manziel has already been lectured by the Browns several times this season, including one for his offseason escapades and once after being involved in a fight at his apartment building at 2:36 a.m. -- hours before the walk-through and trip to Atlanta.

A source told cleveland.com that the Browns sent security to Manziel's house because they were worried when he didn't show up and didn't answer his phone.

Manziel fined, not suspended

Why didnt they suspend him? Probably because they didnt gain another year of his contract by doing so.

Definitely some gamesmanship going on. Read an article saying several players were late Saturday cause Manziel threw a big party Friday night.

I dont like Rotoworld blue writing often but this one speaks my feelings.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Josh Gordon is viewed as a "perpetual problem" inside the Browns' organization and "has to go."
Let the pile-on begin. The Gordon bashers have come out in full force the past month, and it's now coming to a head after the team suspended him for the season finale because he missed Saturday's walkthrough. Words like "former star" and "habitually late" were also mentioned in the CBS piece. The Browns put up with Gordon's problems when he posted one of the best seasons in NFL history last season, but now that their season has collapsed in front of them, it's time to throw blame wherever. And Gordon and Johnny Manziel are the ones receiving it. The Browns have been an historically-bad organization for years now. They'd be dumb to dump Gordon. But it appears a split may be coming.

Here's what I don't understand... Why don't some of these talented players care about winning? Do they think they're "entertainers" and just have to put on a show on Sundays? If you're going to win in the NFL, you have to pay a HUGE price in preparation and effort.

The other choice, ####ing off, results in losses and make you a LOSER!

Serious question: Can they suspend a player that is on the IR?

Manziel's season was already over when he was put on the IR. He only has to do therapy, not practice. My assumption is that they can fine him or cut him with an injury settlement.

 

[Donnybrook]

Norv Turner obviously has some history with Gordon and it makes me wonder if the Vikings will make an offer for him. I don't think any team wants to give this guy a big signing bonus but renting him for a year or two wouldn't be a huge risk.
