thebandit27 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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. Are you thinking that the Bills (or any other team) would be offering a day 2 pick for this guy? We're most likely talking about a conditional pick--for example: a 7th if he makes the team, 6th if he starts 2 games 5th if he eclipses 40 catches, and a 4th if he starts 8 games and eclipses 50 catches.

KD in CA Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 He's in jail for killing someone. 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. This. Gordon is much more like former Lions #2 overall pick Charles Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksilver Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm a "no" as well. It'd be a 1 year rental unless he signs for a big discount. Plus even if that happens you could almost never trust/count on him. Huge talent but not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 its all a cost question really. which we dont know. i wouldnt be opposed to investigate options and for a day 3 pick wouldnt worry much even if it flopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 i don't understand why the browns would trade him. if he's back to form they could could have a decent offense. i doubt anybody's offering more than a 4th right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have to believe that the Ravens are the #1 suitor. They're not rebuilding, and they desperately need a WR. Of course, the Browns might want to avoid an in-division trade. The Bills seem like a lower tier candidate given that they already have an elite WR in Watkins. Plenty of teams are missing one. Seattle also comes to mind - they're in it to win it. SD has an elite QB and a really shaky receiver situation, and they strike me as a candidate too. Maybe Green Bay? Gordon is a big step up from Cobb and James Jones. i don't understand why the browns would trade him. if he's back to form they could could have a decent offense. i doubt anybody's offering more than a 4th right now. The Browns aren't in it to win it this year. They are positioning themselves for the mother of all drafts next year, especially given that the Eagles are likely to have a poor season. The Browns could end up with two top five picks plus a boatload of others: https://dawgpounddaily.com/2016/05/17/cleveland-browns-compensatory-picks-add-to-2017-draft-haul/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 conditional pick tied to playing time and outcome, up to a 3rd round pick. Even 2nd if he makes the Pro Bowl. He's a top 10 WR talent. If he plays as one, who would object to giving up a 3rd or even 2nd round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays as one, who would object to giving up a 3rd or even 2nd round pick? He's not going to end up on the Bills. Other teams with higher aspirations this season are more desperate for an elite WR (which the Bills already have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays as one, who would object to giving up a 3rd or even 2nd round pick? the issue is how long do you get to keep him with that 2nd. Do you turn around and give him a monster FA deal, or look at it as a short term rental that you are happy to move on from relatively soon.
