If he doesn't get a change of scenery, he has no chance. He probably has no chance anyway, but hopefully you get the idea. Just please trade him to the NFC. Yeah, if it was going to happen here it would have happened by now. I’m pretty and would set him up for failure if possibly (professionally speaking). Buffalo and Miami would be my first choices.

buno67 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Idk i think with all the support the Browns and the franchise had given him since they drafted him. If he couldn’t make it here, I don’t think he will make it any where. Browns gave him a handful of chances. Other teams will most likely only give him one. Ppl saying he will go to the Pats and magically put everything together, why because of BB and Brady. That’s only 2 ppl browns had given him all the resources in the world and give him so much help. He might have another good to decent season but I think that’s really what his career will be about . We will prolly see a 30 for 30 about him about what could have been It’s a damn shame, I was always the most critical poster about him on here but god I wish he proved me wrong. I think Dorsey also played this card to also Send Callaway a message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Is this the first time this stuff has been stated? I don’t remember ever hearing about the entire details of the trade and that Chud and Jimmy were behind not trading him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cortes02 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Unfortunately this was inevitable. As a man I wish Gordon the best but as a football player, Gordon has no one to blame but himself for the way things have gone in his career. The Browns have supported him through his 6 years (most of them suspended) and I feel there is something more to the situation in regards to why they decided to let him go now that we probably will never hear about. Peace!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buno67 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Saw this comment on reddit today and it makes total sense on why the team stated they are releasing Gordon ”Announcing the release means that teams aren’t subject to the contract Flash wants if they want to obtain him. Trading for him means they would take on his current contract of $790,000 and still control him as an RFA next year. If they then got outbid, they’d receive a conditional second rounder in return. Announcing an impending release is probably the smartest thing the Browns could have done, honestly, if they’re cutting him off.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can the Browns be outbid? I just dont understand this process I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalBrowns10 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 We finally got the CDs out of Josh Grodons truck. We can find another turd boyfriend that does nothing but let us down for the next 6 years. Rinse, repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon was/is such a special player. Even though it's been a stressful six years, he was worth the gamble. He's ran out of options now though.

I probably wouldn’t have made the trade either, but we should have. Gordon has done nothing for us since 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke2056 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Nevermind, I see what Buno means, he means that if a team actually wants Gordon they can just make us an offer of some crappy late pick so they can get him on his current deal. It's kinda like when a realtor lists a house well below market value to strike up a bidding war. Not that this will stir up a bidding war where we get something great, but same concept I guess. Though I suppose they could have just made an announcement they were trading him. Either way, yay, we will have a bunch of 7ths the next couple years.
