Not so much surprised that Cam was cut, but moreso that now Patriots hopes and dreams lies in Mac Jones' hands. It'll be really interesting to see how this works out, given Belicheck now has 'his guy' at QB.

I’m surprised that they kept Hoyer as the backup over Newton.

There are two trains of thought on this. Some would say that if you still have the former starter on your roster that the new QB will constantly be looking over his shoulder. That he doesn't think the team is confident in his abilities to run the team. That getting rid of your former starter will stop any division among other members of the team on which QB they support.

Others say it's more important to keep the best remaining QB on your roster. That getting rid of Cam over Hoyer isn't correct because they think Cam is better than Hoyer.

But then one needs to consider what you think an NFL team will realistically pay their back up QB. But don't ask the 49'ers that question.

Not me. Think about it.

If you are going fresh, you throw out the stale bread, and Cam would be stale bread in NE.

Oh dear God.

At some point, enough is enough..... right??

Deja vu

We gotta get that ..... oh hell never mind

It gets more of an eye-roll out of me than a big laugh, but more to your point I think it's great that this really isn't the Browns' problem anymore.

Is there and over/under on how long it will be until the next suspension?

2 months, is my guess...

There has to come a point where teams look at Gordon and say, "Belichick couldn't get him to fly straight, and neither could Carroll." He's talented, but he's also 30 years old, with a long track record of failed drug tests. He entered the league in 2012, and in his career he has only 1 16 game season. In fact, he has missed 3 of the past 6 seasons altogether.

Some team may take a flyer on him, but that team is just setting themselves up for disappointment.

Yeah, I think the ship sailed on him a long time ago. It's a sad, disappointing story. He could have gone done as an all-time great. I really think players, teams, and the league could learn from his story.

This really doesn't mean that much. It's just the players union claiming he's done what he needs to do in order to play. Godell still has to clear him. That could taker a very long time if ever.

If BB couldn't straighten him out I doubt anyone can. In the the words of Mr. T, anyone who signs Gordon if and when Goodell clears him? "I pity the fool."

only way he gets over is if they throw out weed as a violation

Just saw that. Even a cat only has nine lives but I guess you can't give someone a lifetime ban for being a moron.

I wonder what the over and under is in Vegas on how long he will go until he is suspended again?

And will be suspended again by week 8.

It would be a real shame if some court in the USA made it in a divorce type settlement that he couldn't afford to eat or pay his bills unless he is pulling in an NFL game check, or equvilant huge summ of money.

Is this high school footage of JOK?

Oh my

Prayers for His Family ...

Man! When something like this happens to a kid so young it takes a while for it to really sink in.

You just never know when your time will come. God calls when He calls, in His time, for His purposes.

I pray for God's comfort upon his family, teammates, and friends. RIP Dwayne.

HEBREWS 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto man once to die, after that comes the judgement."

May you Rest In Peace Mr. Dwayne Haskins

On a side note, my grade school best friend, 1 year older than me, was riding his bike to his summer job south on Rt. 306 at Lost Nation Golf Course. Being one year behind him due to age, our gradeschool started a day or 4 earlier than he did just starting highschool. As us kids were getting ready for school I can still vividly remember my father looking out of a back of the house window and saying "there must have been an accident" on Rt 306(right near what is/was Wyatts Greenhouse). We all saw the cherries on the ambulance and police cars. Not knowing what happened and whilst waiting at the top of the street for the bus, his family car came by. New them very well. Not a wave or smile from them. I can still remember their faces.

A car passing another car hit him head on. Gotta be, give or take, 50 years ago.
