Kirby Jackson Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 ESPN is saying that multiple teams have contacted the Browns trying to trade for Josh Gordon. Would you want the Bills to do that (assuming a reasonable cost)? For me it is a yes despite his spotty track record. He is extremely talented and plays a position of need. I do not think that Woods is a #2 receiver and he is a FA after this year. I'd role the dice for a 4th or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I think our biggest (maybe final) need offensively is a big WR who can line up outside and compliment Sammy across the field, allowing Woods to work primarily from the slot. We have some guys internally who could be that, but they are all unproven. Gordon could also fill that need, but his breakout year was a while ago at this point and he's too unreliable to give up what the Browns would want. So yes, I'd take him for dirt cheap, but the Browns aren't going to give him up for dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 His value to the Browns outweighs the value that other teams are going to be willing to give up for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 We must trade for him in order to replenish our contingent of aholes, with Karlos gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 This is a no brainer to me. When able to be on the field he is electric. I would part with up to a 3rd for him but I don't know if that would be enough to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I'm a big fan of Woods unlike many here, but Josh Gordon is an elite talent. If he's not better than Sammy, he's pretty close. I'd do it in a heartbeat for a mid to late round pick, but I'm sure Cleveland wants a lot more. Edited August 23, 2016 by QB Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 By all means, let's blow another draft pick on a talented jerkweed and hope he can straighten his life out long enough to produce. Yeah, let's do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon likes to drink and smoke weed. You need help if you're trying to equate the two. Perhaps something to drink and some weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Sure. We can add a Gordon trade to Whaley's growing indictment of fire-worthy offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player makes the same mistake multiple times and you want him on your team, you're not thinking clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 No. I doubt it would cost less than a 3rd and he's a free agent next year. It would likely force them to choose between Sammy and Gordon. I choose Sammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Good thing they didn't go out and pick up a known misogynist to play LG last year I don't believe the Bills traded anything for him. They got a good season from him. He might have another good season left in him. We'll see. Gordon is a multiple offender one puff from removed forever from football. I have nothing against weed, but if you're stupid enough to give up tens of millions twice, you're not worth taking a chance on. The Bills, under Rex, remind me of the Bengals from a few years ago. On the other hand, it's hard to swing a dead cat on the field without hitting someone who might be in jail if not for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
