Josh Gordon Trade Rumors: Latest Buzz and Speculation Surrounding Browns WR
BY JOSEPH ZUCKER
(FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2013

Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports
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.

Tony Gonzalez
Jordan Cameron
Justin Blackmon
Josh Gordon

I don't care. Time to make a move.

And at least that guy will be with a new QB in a few years.

Chiefs reportedly offered a first and fifth round pick in 2014 and a conditional pick in 2015. Per Dan Wetzel.

If the conditional pick is a fourth, or later I wouldn't be that upset.
Just heard this on the NFL network... interesting.

OK THIS SHIT JUST GOT INTERESTING LETS GET THIS DONE!

Google also yielded nothing.

**RealSNR** · 10-27-2013, 05:58 PM

Consider me more interested in Jordan Cameron if we can get him. A multi-dimensional TE like that is going to be the best thing we can get for this offense to really make it click.

O.city · 10-27-2013, 05:59 PM

For those three picks, we should be getting Gordon and Cameron

O.city · 10-27-2013, 06:02 PM

Anyone confirm?

CaliforniaChief · 10-27-2013, 06:03 PM

BS. These trades won't happen until Tuesday.

Given that he disappeared right afterward, it's probably not true.

This IS Dorsey we're talking about. He gave 2 2nds for Alex Smith.

CaliforniaChief · 10-27-2013, 06:04 PM

And BTW sucks if Gordon goes to Indy and gets to come here again.

O.city · 10-27-2013, 06:05 PM

Indy can't offer what we can, if were interested.
