Josh Gordon?

Lots of ifs here, but....

IF he gets his stuff together (and keeps it together)
and IF the NFL reinstates him
and IF Cleveland releases him

Would you want the Seahawks to take a serious look at signing him? Or even trading for him for a late round pick? I would with no hesitation.

"Who gon' stop me, huh?"

The same person who has always stopped you, ya friggin' clown; YOU.

ETA until next failed drug test or social incident in 5, 4, 3...

Worth the risk, throw the Browns a 6th and hope he gets reinstated. Not like he's a bad locker room guy so I don't see the downside in taking a stab at him.

I'll just leave this here....

Well this is a first. We usually always hear that Seattle would be a great landing spot for troubled players cause of Pete and the strong team leadership......but with this one. Seattle is the worst possible,,,well us and Denver.....

This moron can't help himself as is, you really want him in seattle where weed is legal?

Yikes. What a timeline. Watching his tape for the season he notched over 1600 yards is super impressive. The separation he would get and speed. :snack:
Despite his issues I would not be opposed to Pete and Schneider taking a flyer on him if possible.

Sashi Brown Executive VP of football operations stated the door isn't closed on Gordon and the Browns.

Josh Gordon-Seattle Seahawks rumors are getting mentioned a lot on social media

i.e. It's bullshit. Or as #25 would say "A Poopfest"


"Who goin stop me?" *Later that day, Josh Gordon ran square in to a giant, 30' blunt that stopped him dead in his tracks."

One day in my lifetime, this country is going to legalize weed and we can stop having to punish players who like to smoke blunts.

The DUI, on the other hand, is an awful look no matter what caused the "UI" part of the DUI. That's what gives me pause. Buying low on a guy who likes weed, even in a state with legal weed, doesn't bother me on its surface. The DUI is what bothers me.

Fap

Trade a 3rd round comp pick (106) for him and sign him for 2 years / $12M no guaranteed money.

To me it has nothing to do with weed being "bad" or not. There are rules, and he has ignored them multiple times. The fact that his self-control is so poor that he's got himself in this deep is extremely troubling. Just a complete lack of discipline and judgement.

What's even worse is this is a superstar NFL player doing this. A guy that had millions and millions of dollars on the line, and a guy that was living the dream by playing a sport for a living. The fact that he jeopardized all of this for weed indicates that he's just a complete moron.

I have no problem with weed. I hope we legalize it. But regardless, it's hard to sympathize with Gordon.
