ColumbusKing Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 TMZ with another great article about our Browns!! Apparently he "vows to make a comeback" Drew Rosenhaus claims he is "keeping his nose clean" and "doing all the things he has to do to get ready." http://www.tmz.com/2015/10/13/nfls-josh-gordon-im-busting-my-ass-for-nfl-return/#ixzz3oT509sv9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Drew Rosenhaus is a Yiddish Sheister lord who will say anything no matter how full of bullshit it is, to make a buck. He could literally be smoking pot with Gordon and still take time out of his day write up that piece of drivel that's worth less than the digital bits it was written on.

OldBrownsFan Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Fool me once shame on you...fool me twice shame on me... at 6-3 last year I couldn't wait to see what would happen with Gordon set to return to the line up after the 10 game suspension. He was a big let down. I don't want to hear talk or promises...just do it and I will believe it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clean Josh would be a lock to make any of the 32 teams rosters, and I'd hazard a guess- based on his breakout year, he'd be the #1 WR on at least 25 NFL teams.

Tour2ma Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yeah... the guys probably only pissed in a cup 50 times this year... probably washing down Alice B. Toklas brownies with Everclear daily. Hey... works for me, if Josh is working out. There really is no downside to having him on our 2016 roster. And there's little downside to negotiating a smart contract beyond 2016, if we can... but I doubt we can. Josh's bargaining position can only get stronger. Drew Rosenhaus is a Yiddish Sheister lord who will say anything no matter how full of bullshit it is, to make a buck. He could literally be smoking pot with Gordon and still take time out of his day write up that piece of drivel that's worth less than the digital bits it was written on. A sports agent advocating for a client? How dare he... Drew guaranteed MaGahee would come back and have a great career after suffering the most horrendous knee injury I have seen. Willis might have fallen tad short of "great", but with four, 1000-yd seasons over a span of 8 years, he was in the neighborhood. Relatively injury-free career to boot. So Drew pretty much got one right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ok.. So Is Josh Gordon basically a FA after this football season or after the 2016-17 season. After 2016 I believe... result of that maneuver where we suspended him for the final game of 2014 keeping his game total under the threshold for qualifying as a season. He was challenging that maneuver, or the Players Union was on his behalf. TBH though I don't remember for sure if there's been a final ruling on that challenge.

We have him on the Roster for one more season until Drew Rosenhaus , decides to hold the Browns , or anyone else hostage for his services.. .

Zombo Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I think we have him for two season. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I think we have him for two season. And you would be correct... if 2014 does not count because he did not reach the 6-game threshold. Signed a 4-year contract in 2012. Had qualifying seasons of 13 and 14 games in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Will have 0 games in 2015. So comes down to his 2014, Week-17 suspension holding him to 5 games. Even better...

The Gipper Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 A talent like that is worth hanging on to. I mean, he smoked a little dope and drank a little alcohol. 85% of the league has done that. I mean, it ain't like he ran over a kid with a car or something. A DUI is serious because he has that potential to do that....but Gordon is paying the price for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenew23 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 As of now, he is under contract for the next 2 season (2016 and 2017)... That is only because we suspended him week 17 last year, so 2014 did not count as an accrued season... The NFLPA tried to get that suspension overturned, but I haven't heard anything about a verdict... probably won't be decided until after he is re-instated (it would be a waste of time if he is just going to get banished anyway)... If it is overturned, then he will be a UFA after the 2016 season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenew23 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Also... He was so much fun to watch in 2013... I really hope he is "busting his ass" to get back to football... We could use a guy like that to solidify our WR corp, which already isn't that bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbedward Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Until he proves he can contribute to the team again I don't care what he's doing. Last I saw him he was half assing plays and disrupting the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownbrown Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Futhermore, if we can afford to pay 9 mil to Bowe, if Gordon comes back and tears it up we will have the cash to resign him. No big deal there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No big deal there. Exactly. Bowe is as good as gone. Any team that signs Gordon long term is going to make the (fat) contract non-guaranteed- based on his ability to stay clean & performance based.

calfoxwc Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Here's a point - has Gordon changed his crowd of homies? Or, is he still with that same crowd, and still will eventually revert to the same mindset of that crowd? It would be great is he really came back all in, and 100% about wanting to win. But, if I were drafting a blue chippie wr next spring- I certainly wouldn't drop that idea because Gordon is coming back...again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby73 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Josh "I do not have a Problem. It's my bad judgment of making decisions". So end of season would be SB? Pro Bowl was moved up ahead of SB so Josh & Agent would not be confused? I will stick with Josh never see's the field again. Sad till he helps his Demons.

He failed one weed test by the smallest of fractions after passing dozens of them. Then he had a beer on a plane to Vegas with "homies" like Joe Haden and the WR coach ... didn't anyone know the rules? Where's the mentoring? He was pretty damn young when all of this was going down. He sure is an easy target for jokes, but I see wife beaters, rapists, dog killers and other Steelers playing on sundays while this guy is missing the prime of his career for pot and beer. The joke is the NFL. I hope Josh comes back and scorches everybody like 2013 again, that was, by far, the best season I ever saw a Browns receiver have.

Zombo I don't think anyone here disagrees with the last part of what your saying, but let's stop making excuses for the guy too. Everything he's done to fuck up has been his own fault, there's no other way to put that. Okay, if he got popped for weed one time it's a stupid mistake. But he's got a strong pattern of making bad decisions and the phrase "fool me once" is realllly starting to kick him with the dude. I guess what I'm saying is I'm not holding my breath in the slightest. He loafed at the end of last season too and who knows if he even wants to play in Cleveland again.
