Rumors: cleveland looks to trade more players: Josh Gordon
Josh Gordon Trade Rumors: Latest Buzz and Speculation Surrounding Browns WR
BY JOSEPH ZUCKER (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2013 ![]() The Cleveland Browns' fire sale may yet continue as the team has reportedly made wide receiver Josh Gordon available. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Browns are willing to part with Gordon along with fellow wide receiver Greg Little: ESPN's Adam Caplan adds that Gordon has actually been on the trade block for "several weeks": Gordon is returning to the field in Week 3 after serving a two-game suspension at the start of the regular season, following a violation of the league's substance-abuse policy. He came into the season with some lofty expectations after his rookie year, in which he caught 50 passes for 805 yards and five touchdowns. This news is exactly what Browns fans won't want to hear. It comes the same week as Cleveland essentially gave up on the 2013 season just two weeks into the season, first naming Brian Hoyer the starting quarterback over the banged-up Brandon Weeden and backup Jason Campbell, and then trading Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts. For a fanbase as tortured as the Browns' it will hurt to see yet another talented offensive player be pushed out the door. Only 22 years old, Gordon will continue to improve, and he's the kind of player a team can build a receiving corps around. The fact that Cleveland is thinking about offoading him is arguably more surprising than the Richardson trade. However, if Cleveland is really in rebuild mode, it would make sense to cash in now on its most marketable asset and prepare for the future. The trio of Joe Banner, Michael Lombardi and Rob Chudzinski have a definite direction they're taking this team. They're not afraid to burn some bridges in the short term if it helps the long term, either. Only time will tell if the plan works out. |

Ya **** it. I'd give them a 1 for Gordon that is conditional upon his off field actions. Or if they'd take a 2 in '15

I'd give this years 3 and a 2015 conditional 4th that could go to a third if he meets certain achievable benchmarks.

Why **** around?
Our 1st rounder is probably going to be past pick 20, so why just throw that at them? |

You're not going to find a guy with his talent in the 20's of the 2014 draft, and you don't have to wait on the learning process. Gordon is ready to roll. |

someone needs to keep a tally of Clevelands 1st round picks if stuff like this starts to happen after they gut their team entirely.

Forget the flea flicker for a second. That crossing route? That's the kind of big play/YAC ability this offense needs since we don't stretch the field. A shallow cross that turns into a 47 yard gain. He's a perfect fit. |
