treeduck Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 NFL announces Gordon suspension Posted by Mike Florio on August 27, 2014, 12:55 PM EDThttp://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/gordon1.jpg?w=210 It’s official. The NFL has suspended Browns receiver Josh Gordon for a full year, effective immediately. The banishment, first proposed more than three months ago and languishing on appeal until today, has been announced by the league. “Appeals officer Harold Henderson has upheld the suspension for the 2014 NFL season of Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse,” the NFL said in a statement. “The suspension is effective immediately. Gordon’s eligibility for reinstatement will be determined following the 2014 season.” Gordon, whose suspension comes under the substance-abuse policy, likewise has issued a statement acknowledging the situation. “I’d like to apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Cleveland Browns organization and our fans,” Gordon said. “I am very disappointed that the NFL and its hearing officer didn’t exercise better discretion and judgment in my case. I would like to sincerely thank the people who have been incredibly supportive of me during this challenging time, including my family, my agent, my union, my legal team, and the Cleveland Browns staff.” Gordon will need even more support over the next year, since he will be prohibited from receiving any assistance from the NFL or the Browns. It’s a sad situation, with Brown banished for smoking a substance that is legal in two of the 22 states in which the NFL does business. At a time when he may have an addiction. At a time when Ray Rice will miss only two games for knocking out his then-fiancée, now wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Browns won’t let Josh Gordon play in CFL Posted by Mike Florio on August 28, 2014, 1:09 PM EDThttp://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/gordon10.jpg?w=244The question of whether the CFL would welcome suspended Browns receiver Josh Gordon is complicated, convoluted, and ultimately irrelevant. As Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said during Thursday’s PFT Live, the Browns won’t give Gordon permission to play in Canada. A league source tells PFT that the Browns already have informed Gordon that he won’t be permitted to take his talents to Saskatoon. Or anywhere else in Canada. That should end it. Even though it would give Gordon a better support structure and despite the fact that it seems unfair to prevent a guy whose contract has been tolled from playing football due to his suspension, Gordon won’t be playing in the CFL this year.

treeduck Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Browns cut Rex Grossman Posted by Josh Alper on August 31, 2014, 2:49 PM EDT http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/cd0ymzcznguwzdbhnduynddiytjhm2yyzthlmtjjotqwyyznpwmyotq3yzczzjiwyjlly2uxodvmmjnjmgvjmgzkndmx.jpeg?w=250 Rex Grossman will no longer be the third man in the quarterback room for the Browns. PFT has learned that Grossman has been released as the Browns conduct a busy day on the waiver wire to shape their 53-man roster ahead of the start of the regular season. The Browns have claimed wide receiver LaRon Byrd, running back Glenn Winston, guard Ryan Seymour and guard Caylin Hauptmann since Saturday’s roster cutdown, requiring them to drop at least four guys who made the team only in the most technical sense of the phrase. None of the other departures are known at this time. Grossman signed with the Browns on August 12 and his history with Kyle Shanahan in Washington and Houston likely boosted his chances of sticking around as a mentor to Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel. He last threw a meaningful pass in 2011, though, and the Browns decided they have too many other needs to carry a third quarterback. They could add rookie Connor Shaw, cut on Saturday, or another quarterback to the practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Josh Gordon gets a job with an Ohio car dealership Posted by Darin Gantt on September 4, 2014, 11:44 AM EDThttp://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/joshgordon1.jpg?w=250Josh Gordon has a year off from football, so he needed a job. And now he has one. A league source tells PFT that Gordon is going to work as a “goodwill ambassador” for the Sarchione Auto Group in Ohio. He will work in all aspects of the dealership, including selling cars. He’ll also represent them at community events, including for the Wounded Warrior Project. It’s good that Gordon has some degree of structure, since he’s banned from the Browns facilities during his suspension for repeated failed marijuana tests. This sounds vaguely like the kind of “jobs” car dealers used to only have to line up for NCAA football players. Now, if he ends up getting you a good deal on undercoating, or sells a used car to Charlotte Hornets rookie P.J. Hairston, we’ll be less skeptical. But as he continues to mull a legal challenge to the NFL’s suspension, at least he has something to do.

treeduck Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jordan Cameron ruled out for Week Two Posted by Mike Wilkening on September 14, 2014, 11:46 AM EDThttp://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/cd0ymzcznguwzdbhnduynddiytjhm2yyzthlmtjjotqwyyznptc1n2y2ymzlzwvioddknjfiotm5zmziotc4y2jmndqy.jpeg?w=250 The Browns will be without one of their top passing game targets on Sunday. Tight end Jordan Cameron (shoulder) has been declared inactive for today’s game against New Orleans, the Browns announced on Twitter. With Cameron out, Jim Dray and Gary Barnidge are the primary tight ends for Cleveland. The Browns have also ruled out outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo (shoulder). Jabaal Sheard is likely to fill in for Mingo in Week Two. The Browns also made wideout LaRon Byrd, cornerback Pierre Desir, defensive lineman John Hughes, defensive lineman Ishmaa’ily Kitchen and tailback Ben Tate inactive. Tate (knee) had already been ruled out. Terrance West will start in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
