WR Josh Gordon, KC (5 Viewers)

As a Browns fan, it'd piss me off if he gets out in like 2-3 weeks and joins another team

As a Gordon fan, I'll be thrilled to see him back on the field. 

As a human, I just hope he gets well.

Most people don't get out of inpatient rehab that quickly. Usually a 6-10 week program. 

I (sadly) know a couple of people who have had to do it. 

The detox process usually takes seven to 10 days. Rehab programs, however, usually last a minimum of 30 to 45 days. Some clients benefit from 60- or 90-day stays at residential or inpatient treatment centers.

He's not going to get out in 3 weeks and suit up for the Patriots. Relax.

I don't see any chance BB allows a guy with Gordon's well documented history of trouble (not to mention being a known associate of Manziel) near his locker room. Not gonna happen.

I'd go further to say (after the Browns cut him) its an extreme longshot Gordon is on any NFL roster any time soon (if ever again). I am sure Rog told Gordon he didn't have to let him back in but was going to because he believed in him. I am sure he told him don't #### this up and make an ### out of me. Gordon just made Rog look like a ####### ### and I am sure Rog is none too happy about it.

I dunno... if Josh where a white, more quick than fast WR, I could see a real fit in NE.

I came in here to check for whose optimistically looking forward to starting next week..

Do we have a best case scenario, besides a clean bill of health in 30 days?

I mean even if the Browns cut him, he should be picked up by someone right?

There should still be half a Season of ball to play.. No?

I know some drama folks, and other challenged people have posted..

But my earlier post still seems unanswered?

I know Browns fans are anxious too see him go, and redrafts could care less about this rehab business.

But theres gotta be a real fan who has some expectations for Gordon playing in X amt of days?  No

I'm pretty sure it will just be soulfly with a 6-er of Old Milwaukee and a giant foam finger with "CLE #1!" on it, wearing nothing but a Josh Gordon jersey, black socks and sandals.

not that there's anything wrong with that...

;)

All of those guys had their warts but none of them was in Gordon's class in terms of repeated stupidity/trouble when BB took them in.

I agree  that BB is willing to sign players with some history of violence.  Josh Gordon wouldn't fit in his prestigious locker room.

I dropped him.  Shame on me situation in that I had to (again).  Writing was in the wall if you weren't blind to see it (hanging out with Manziel???? - duh).

I don't see a team picking him up until 2017 and there will need to be a huge amount of due diligence done.  But he's young and quite frankly, he's a guy who could use a fresh start.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him turn up in SF assuming Chip Kelly is still the coach.

You're assuming he stays for the entire program.  Unless this really is the result of some kind of secret deal with the authorities (either police or NFL), I don't think that's a safe assumption for Gordon.  He's just as likely to decide he feels great after 10 days and walk out the door no matter what the people treating him say.

 
In dynasty, I'll hold Gordon as long as I can.  I have a bench of 8. If I have to drop someone then it probably will be him.  The talent is there.  In some ways this is better than an ACL tear, in other ways it's not.  Either way don't let emotions get in the way of making your decisions. It's easy to just want to cut him and move on but is that the right answer? Only if he never plays again. I don't think we're there yet.

And if he does that no team will touch him.

also, "secret deal with the police"? C'mon, man.  :lmao:

 
Have it on good authority he entered completely voluntarily, not even Rosenhaus knew ahead of time. 

Hope that's true.

You can't possibly look any worse through this entire thing can you?  Well, I guess you can and are going to.

Soulglo will continue to entertain us all until Gordon is 50 years old.  Thread will be 4 trillion pages of hopes and dreams

Staying clean is obviously a HUGE problem for Gordon, and he's going to be tested non-stop moving forward. Each time he pees hot the year resets. Why do you think Jacksonville cleaned out Justin Blackmon's locker?

Turns out CDL won the thread. There's the timestamp.

This is on the Browns. As long as the Browns kept up hope we the fans and FFers could believe that he could come back. But he was never coming back, not really.

Compare what the Browns did to what the Jags did with Blackmon. A difference here might be Hue Jackson, he's not putting up with this keeping 'one toe in' business. If I was a Browns fan I would take this is a positive sign of getting away from dysfunctionalism.

It's over.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is josh gordon not still eligible to play in week 5? do you have a source that states otherwise?

The best case "realistic" scenario for Gordon playing again is 330 days.  Too many things would have to break his way to see him on the field in 2016.  IF he gets his act together.  IF the league allows it.  IF some team is willing to take that risk.

The more likely scenario is that he is done.

Gordon has had all the motivation and support to get his life together already.  Football (and his livelihood) isn't as important to him as getting stoned.   Maybe that changes someday but, by then, his physical skills will have likely eroded. 

I wouldn't believe anything out of his mouth and would expect no more from NFL execs.

Plenty of people got this one right. Anyone with even cursory knowledge about addiction knew that he was a long shot to ever have sustained success.

My point there wasn't that your saying that Gordon would relapse was correct, it was that you pointed out how the Jags handled Blackmon differently and that was the right point to make. 

 
There's too much missing information at this point to make any sound judgements on his playing status, both short term and long term. Nothing from the league saying he failed a test and is suspended, just JG voluntarily sending himself to rehab.

Maybe the Browns did something to make him angry and he is forcing their hand to cut him so he can go elsewhere. Maybe he felt like with the paternity test he needed to make sure he was on a straight path so he could be a good father. Maybe, maybe, maybe...we just don't know.

I dropped him in one fun league for PHI D. Holding on to him for now in high stakes re-draft. May end up bidding $1 in a high stakes re-draft he was dropped in last night. Might be a stupid move, may be a winning lottery ticket. Don't know, but it is worth the roster spot if he comes back or until more information comes out.

This is what's keeping me from dropping him. Unless we hear he failed a drug test, idk how the hell I can drop him... 

He could be picked up by another team just like Austin Seferian-Jenkins...

The fact that he checked himself into rehab more than likely means he's fallen off the wagon and has something in his system that would get him popped.  At this point, I don't see any purpose in keeping him since the risk is so much greater than the reward.

No other logical reason.
