Weren't they linked to Carr?

Maybe that he is gone now they are going to wait it out?

Definitely.

It's curious to me why with the run on receivers in the first two rounds, the Browns haven't tried to move up? Maybe they have some ideas for picking up some current free agents? If they lose Gordon, they are really gonna be in a tough spot. Jordan Cameron is great, he'll give Manziel some help, but without the threat of Gordon, Cameron could draw a lot more coverage.

Interesting, Texans still haven't taken a QB, just picked up a TE out of Iowa. Fiedorowicz.

Maybe Jerry Jones is still pissed they didn't let him draft Manziel.

Congrats to Dez Southward, going to the Falcons! Go Badgers!

They moved up for DE... Especially when Carr was there... I was gasping because it would be the Redskins luck for them to have taken Carr and he turn out to be Aikmen JR and kill them for the next 15 years over a 3rd round pick.

I think, overall, that Browns fans are happy and buying the hype. My buddies and I aren't. We don't care about all the flash and fanfare. We got that with McCoy and Quinn and they can't even make it as decent backups. Time will tell MF.

Congrats to Chris Borland! 49ers roll with a Badger.

It's pretty obvious what the Rams plan on offense is gonna be. Run the ball.

Cowboys did exactly what I wanted them to today and traded up to take DeMarcus Lawrence. Lawrence was not going to be there at 47, so this move was good. Gotta hope they can somehow get a solid safety in the 4th round, unless they think they're good to go at that spot with Johnson, Wilcox and Church.

Browns can't catch a break..first Gordon may be gone for year...now Burleson breaks the same arm...again

Once for glorified cough syrup and once for weed. What a serious threat to society he is.

The worst ever yes, although I have to say the NFL's sanctions on him will no doubt be much harsher than anything that will happen to him legally.

Tweet from Adam Schefter:

At this rate, Browns QB Johnny Manziel will be throwing to Drake and LeBron.

He's got a history of this. Obviously, the guy is quite stupid and selfish. He clearly thinks more about himself than his team. He knew that besides being illegal, marijuana and codeine are against NFL rules. Whether one agrees with that or not is completely irrelevant. Prior to using, he knew that they were against the rules and he knew the risk of getting caught by drug test yet still chose to use. What does that say about his intelligence and his lack of personal responsibility/accountability toward himself, his job, and his teammates? Not too impressive. What an inconsiderate ass. The damage he may have done to the upcoming season...

That supposed cough syrup with codeine was likely not for an illness, but instead "purple drank", a drug concoction popular with rappers and hip hop artists. Codeine is a powerful narcotic and not some harmless thing.

He was like this in college as well.

Here's his college history from an article:

"Gordon had drug-testing problems in college as well. He was dismissed from the team at Baylor after being suspended twice for marijuana use. He transferred to Utah but didn't play there after failing another drug test."


http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/...ong-suspension


Edit: I was wrong on something. I thought he had five total drug suspensions between college and the NFL. Turns out he's had 6! Three times in college and three in the NFL. I didn't know this but I was reading an article from a longtime Cleveland sportswriter. In the NFL, you don't get suspended for the first offense. On the second, you get a suspension. On the third, you face a season-long ban or even longer. Since Gordon was suspended for multiple games for codeine last year, that meant he had already failed a test prior, as you don't get suspended on a first offense.

That means this guy has failed 6 drug tests in the last 3 years or so. Wow.
