I think, maybe hope, that he found out he's a father, and that was the trigger he needed to grow up, and do the "right thing"
He may still never play for us again, and that sucks, because he's super talented, and would fit in perfectly in our WR Corps.
But if this is what he needs to do, to be a dad, then there's nothing wrong with it. This is what I'm hoping as well. I don't think we release him unless this persists into next season for which at the end of the 17 season I would move on from him. He's still only 25 though...what a waste THUS FAR.

Does it say anywhere in there that he actually used drugs again? He might just be feeling those urges and trying to stop himself before he crosses that line. People should not always assume the worst in others when you don't have any proof of it.
I suspect he is possibly dealing with depression or mental health issues as much as anything and learning he possibly knocked some piece of fluff from a party probably has him going loony.
IF he hasn't broken the substance abuse policy and is in rehab to stop it from starting up again I imagine he can come back at anytime. This season is a lost cause for the most part. I'd rather he do what he needs to to make sure he can save his career. Hopefully with the browns after he is all cleaned up and ready to be a monster player.
Until then it's not like he is eating up a roster spot ... "peice of fluff" from a party. Really. That is disgraceful and you know nothing about Gordon's interpersonal relations. He is no better than any woman who he sleeps with..no better.

Does it extend our legal rights to him? Trades?
Thanks again, JG! Hope you get better, but football isn't working out too swell for us with you aboard. Get it together.

If the smuggling drugs at the airport story is true, he's dumber than we thought

I hope for his sake he get's his life back in order. Best to you Josh. I'm sure if we do let him go the Patriots will pick him up and he'll turn into a pro bowler.

He said he's done answering questions about him.
I don't doubt that if Josh leaves Rehab before the end of the season that he'd play him.
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

I have to commend the FO in moving on from Gordon. While it's true he's still on the team, I'm one who believes actions speak louder than words.
In this past draft they addressed the WR position heavily. You can see by their actions in the draft and with the continuing investment in Pryor , that they decided not to trust in the return of Gordon.
As such, Gordon would have been a nice bonus but wasn't actually considered a cog in the wheel.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

The Cleveland Browns are ‘closing that chapter’ on Josh Gordon, and his fate with the team seems sealed
Emmett Knowlton
7m 58
The Cleveland Browns announced on Thursday that wide receiver Josh Gordon would enter an in-patient rehab facility, and was not expected to return from suspension during Week 5.
In a statement the Browns released on Twitter, Gordon — who was suspended for f0ur games this season and missed the duration of last season for failing the league's anti-substance abuse policy — said he was stepping away from his pursuit to return to football to "gain full control of my life."
The news cast doubts on the Gordon's future in the NFL, and with the Browns.
On Friday, Cleveland head coach Hue Jackson told the media bluntly that Gordon's chapter in Cleveland was, indeed, over.
"I think what's best for our football team is that we move forward and move on,'' Jackson said, according to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot. "He's not going to be with us and we wish him well, but we're moving forward. We're going to move on.''
Jackson continued:
"You said a key, it seems like [we are done for good]. I just think for me and for our team, for everybody involved, my goal is to make sure that we take care of the players that are here and the players that are practicing and working. I care about everybody. I think that's the seat I'm in, but at the same time, he's not here, so that's why we wished him well and want the best for him and I think the most important thing I can do is make sure that our football team that are here, the guys that are practicing the guys that are going to play, the guys that are in the meeting room and working hard to get ready for a game is that our focus and our attention to detail is right.
So that's my main concern and I think what we need to do is just close that chapter right now. He's doing what he needs to do and we need to do what we need to do which is continue to move forward."
When Gordon was on the field, he proved himself to be a gifted receiver and a real offensive talent for Cleveland. In 2013, he caught nine touchdowns and collected 1,646 yards.
Hopefully we can see him on an NFL field sometime in the future.

Sorry but how could any of us not dream about the idea about both of them on the outside and Coleman and hawk in the slot? I'm still dreaming about it. Although the it's less likely now.

That's not the right attitude. The guy is additted, and has the mind of a 15 year old...."if I just ignore it, maybe it will go away"...the guy is losing the dream, is now named the father to some kid he has to pay for to a one night stand chick....I am not saying he doesn't have to man up, but I do understand how a weak minded person like Josh fell off the table. The kids life is flushing down the drain. We need to pray for the guy.

"...has the mind of a 15 year old"
This is the first time I at least have a partial understanding of Gordon's actions.
I hope someone got him to put some of that 2013 salary in a trust or something.
I'll bet his friends and family are vultures.
It would be sad if he's broke.

It would be sad if he's broke. If not now, he probably will be in short order. He didn't make that much money to burn through pretty quickly. Money goes quick when in the slow lane, let alone the fast lane. The kid is lost.

I have NO problem with the Browns being done. It's about damned time. We have wasted far too much time and effort on a guy that doesn't care about football, his teammates or the franchise. ALL meathead cares about is himself. Period. JIM BROWN tried to get through to him. A living legend took the time and made the effort to get meat back on track and he STILL blew it. He has no one to blame but himself. Good riddance.... Now lets forget about meathead and get the young revievers we drafted some much needed playing experience! Pryor is ten times the player meat was. Why? HE's actually HERE for the team and his fellow Browns!

He is no better than any woman who he sleeps with..no better. I stand by what I said. She is a woman of no consequence so by definition that makes her a piece of fluff. If she wasn't then he would be stepping up to be the dad but instead he is contesting it. He doesn't want to be the kids dad or tied to her. If a woman doesn't want to be a piece of fluff then she should keep her pants on and make the man earn it. ALL MEN are fluff until they get trapped in the lint tray after being washed off and dried out =P But no I don't think Josh is any better because I think anyone who sleeps around for a quick fix deserves whatever happens to them.
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

After reading his last sentence saying Gordon is no better and deserving of what's happened, I agree. He didn't rape her. Two idiots having consensual, casual, unprotected sex are now suffering the ugly consequences.

The "ugly consequence" is a human life, so at least we know that some good can come of what was most likely a meaningless hook-up. I do give the woman credit for choosing to keep the baby. Gordon, on the other hand, gets no points for forcing her to prove that he was the father.

JMHO, what is weird is our society has become sooooo liberal, sex is huge driver, but chastity, sacred, modest....they are laughed at...I think it is a ethnicity thing...how many white brothers bragged about nailing over 2,000 or more BROADS like Wilt the Stilt, which ethnicity fathers eight children with seven different mothers-forget his name....Terrell Owens, he's a saint.....AND most are broke after they father all these UNWANTED children....pray for Gordon....yes, but pray harder for the thousands/millions? of unwanted children...hope and pray the Browns REALLY have closed the chapter on Josh Gordon, he's been a liar since day one.....GO Browns!!!! One of my biggest faults is to judgemental.

The ugly consequence is not the human life. It's the fact that the life was brought into this world by a couple of idiots seeking instant gratification without considering the results. Then again, I guess it's possible the girl did consider it for personal gain...which would make it an even uglier situation.
