I figured maybe the Packers, with Cobb down for most of the season, would have made an offer to make sure that Gordon didn't get on the plane back to Cleveland after the game. But if he was trying to impress Ted Thompson on Sunday, you'd never know it.

Could anyone see Atlanta jumping in?

If they were to, it would have made more sense to do it immediately after Julio's diagnosis and going into the BYE so that Gordon would have a chance to get semi up-to-speed and integrated into the offense. I suppose it's not outside the realm of possibility, but it has already been denied by the organization.

I was at the buffalo game, first noticed it, but I was half in the bag, been looking for it since.The last two games were disgusting efforts.

As a Gordon owner, I have noticed it as well, but he is definitely not the only one out there that is looking frustrated and blase

ETA: While I think Campbell has the arm and vertical game to keep Gordon in the WR2 status, it just can't be good for him to keep switching QB's... chemistry and all. We'll see... honestly, it's probably for the best. Weeden would have been murdered by the KC defensive front 7.

I didn't think Campbell's arm was that great. He's basically a poor version of Captain Checkdown.https://twitter.com/viccarucci/status/393027273664004096

He checks down a lot, but he can get the ball down field too. If I remember correctly his read progression is often down field then where's the bail out. He chooses option #2 too often, but he chooses option #1 enough to make the big play threat useful.I didn't think Campbell's arm was that great.

hes not accurate for the deep ball, he has the arm but he will look like freeman out there.. im expecting Cameron to be his favorite target at least for this weekHe checks down a lot, but he can get the ball down field too.

With all this doom and gloom, I'd be looking to buy low.

One of the more frustrating players to own in keeper leagues right now. Diminished value for this year but the possibility of a trade or improved QB player next year combined with all-world talent means he still holds tons of value as a keeper.
Sucks to think that only a few weeks ago he was a possible WR1 both this year and for years to come.

Didn't Campbell have one of the strongest arms in the league at one point?
I don't think Gordon was trying very hard for Weeden, but he was trying pretty hard for Hoyer.
Will he work hard for Campbell? I have no idea, but at least there's a chance he will. I'll take that chance over the seeming certainty of him cutting routes short, dropping passes and ducking hits for the rest of the season.

Campbell signed with the Chicago Bears on March 13, 2012 to a one-year contract as a backup to Jay Cutler.[16] In Week 10 against the Houston Texans, Campbell replaced Cutler, who had gone down with a concussion.[17] In the game, Campbell completed 11 of 19 passes for 94 yards and a 70.9 passer rating.[18] On November 16, Cutler was ruled out of the Bears-San Francisco 49ers game, meaning Campbell would start the game.[19] The Bears went on to lose 32-7

It's him or a gimpy Fitzgerald. Ugh. This week is going to be rough.
ESPN's Adam Caplan also posted this yesterday --- "On #Browns WR Josh Gordon, he's been on the trade block for several weeks, source said. Banner wants him out, very clear, source said."
I think it's clear what's happening here....The Browns want to trade Josh Gordon. It seems like they're leveraging and posturing to try and get the best deal that they can.... But that's just me.

Aren't trades involving talented players supposed to produce a shocking effect? That's usually how they go down in the end.
If we read a headline of "49ers acquire Josh Gordon" we will feel shocked.
Do you guys think 49ers would bode well for his fantasy outlook?

HELL yes. Crabtree looked like a bust when Smith was his QB. When Kap took over, he bordered on STUD status.
Between worrying about the read option and Vern, Gordon would be in line to put up some silly numbers.

Ha, what about going from Hoyer to Weeden and now to Campbell? A downgrade each time, plus the loss of timing and synergy between Gordon and his QB.

Exactly, I don't have anyone better on my bench. I am not an "always play your studs" person, but in this case, knowing that several receivers have played very well against them, I am not scared of the matchup...I think this game might be more wide open than expected, 2 teams not familiar with each other (unless you count a slight overlap of Turner and Reid in 2000 I think?

I'm worried and am debating slotting in glass Amendola over him. Red flags, there's too many of em.

Just traded AP and Gordon for JCharles in a redraft league. Saw a chance to get out of two potential train wrecks.
