seafoam1 1,879 Posted September 15, 2018 The Cowboys need a WR badly, That is if it's not a drug test failure Even if it's not about drugs, cleveland let him go after holding onto him for so long.

polecatt 403 Posted September 16, 2018 They released dez...why on earth would they sign a guy in even worse mental Condition. Because they need a WR badly, Besides I believe they released Dez because he had been injured and wasn't the same physical specimen he once was, not because of his mentality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clean90 6 Posted September 16, 2018 According to the story on NFL.com Gordon somehow reinjured his hamstring after practice Friday and then he was late today so the Browns said enough is enough and cut him. It did not say anything about another failed test. Gordon may actually end up in a more favorable situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does a doctor determine that someone is 'possibly close to' doing drugs again? Come on. I hope this is all bull and the Pats sign him and he goes bananas.

Ray_T 591 Posted September 16, 2018 well, if teams are willing to give him another shot, keeping him on the same contract is preferable to potentially getting into a bidding war for his services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillygrrl08 139 Posted September 16, 2018 Sounds like the Browns announced they were releasing him, then teams who didn't want to get in a bidding war called the Browns inquiring about a trade.

stonewall 647 Posted September 16, 2018 Maybe this isn't about drug use at all. Perhaps, after tweeking his hammy in a promotional event Friday (not sponsored by Browns), after logging complete week of full practices, Jackson told him that he was OUT and wasn't travelling to New Orleans with team. This made Gordon angry and was acting "erratic"....which was the final straw that broke the ole' proverbial camels back with the organization. Again...there is something here we just don't know yet.

huskyhater75 242 Posted September 16, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised in NE picked Gordon up. They need WRs and they have a history of taking "different folks" and getting some more greatness out of them, or maybe Chuckie in Oakland will take a look at him. Who knows? Lotta talent there.

jrokh 569 Posted September 16, 2018 Dallas makes a lot of sense, but It really depends on the validity of the report out of Cleveland that he was close to relapse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted September 16, 2018 initial report definitely included the fact that he "wasn't himself" when he showed up to the Browns facility. I suspect this means another failed test is coming. I'm not sure if/how much the teams are obligated to report to the NFL offices if they suspect something, but i figure since it's a zero tolerance policy he's on now, they must have.

scottsind 61 Posted September 16, 2018 Think it is worth trying to buy low on him today? Thinking of throwing Jordy Nelson for him, and trying to buy low on him. If he fails another drug test then I made a bad gamble, but If he goes to a better team then maybe I win the gamble. Think it is worth the headache? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
