Just a rumors but he's sure to get looks. Rams maybe?

 

[BatteringRambo]

We need to be in this discussion. I don't see Treadwell making it to #15 and Boyd likely goes in the 2nd round. Just my opinion from what I've briefly read so far. Curious what the compensation ends up (4th and 6th picks?) , as I see him traded over released

So many different rumors flying around right now. Some saying the Browns wanna keep him and some saying the Browns wanna see what they can get. He's an interesting case. If you believe in his one big season then he's worth a second. But some Browns fans were saying that he looked lost on the field before that last suspension.

No thanks, the guy is not worth the trouble. If you read his history you'd likely agree. Missing meetings and failing tests means not for long.

He's been doing this since college, failing tests. He's got talent but million dollar talent and ten cent head isn't the way to go.

 

[Ramrasta]

Too much of a gamble. The odds that he comes back playing at the same level are next to nothing and how long until he screws up yet again? No thanks

 

[RamsJunkie]

I would kick the tires for a 5th or 6th round pick and I would for sure bring him in on the cheap if the browns cut him. His salary is very low if he screws up again oh well see ya if he realizes this is his last chance and gets his shit together than we struck gold.

 

[TheDYVKX]

I would do it. It seems like he's finally getting it. He's finding new hobbies that aren't smoking pot and drinking. He knows he needs to change.

I'm not saying drop a 1st or anything on him, but a mid to late round pick is absolutely worth the gamble.

Here's a good read on him

I say we trade up for Wentz and offer the browns a 5th for Gordon.. Definitely worth the gamble in my humble opinion...

 

[BriansRams]

I think the lure of playing in Los Angeles might be good for him possibly wanting to play for the Rams.

 

[SaneRamsFan]

Oh sure-LA will get him straightened out

Thanks for the article - sounds like he might be getting his shite together - let's hope

Gordon if his head is on straight (and it looks like he might get it now from the article) is one of the top 5 receivers in the league. 6'3'' 225 and can run routes. And the best part....kid is only 24, he has a full career ahead of him.

It would be worth a flyer.

 

[JackDRams]

I would offer a fifth round pick. Possibly a fourth, if the Browns tell me they're sending him to an nfc west rival. No more then that. One more screw up, and he could face an indefinite ban. I'm not gonna pay too much, for a guy that might not even play a game for us. Who knows, with this guy. I'm not really buying this whole "I do art now, trying to straighten up" Really? Lets see you prove it. LA is probably the worst place for this guy to play, which is why I'm not sending much back in return for him.

Sounds like a good time for me to post something creepy.

 

[bluecoconuts]

I wouldn't give up very much for him. If he can't stay out of trouble in Cleveland then how is he gonna do it in LA?

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Josh Gordon and LA will likely be a volatile mix. I don't like the idea of having his influence around the team.

But say he is clean. And there is no way to know, I get that. However, if the Rams traded away picks to move up for a QB, then a receiver like Gordon could be a stop gap for a year, until the Rams could get a replacement the following year. They would likely include at least one second round pick if not both to move up. That would hinder drafting a good receiver this year.

I think it is more likely that Snead tries to sign at least one WR in free agency this year, to safeguard from being forced to draft one or even two. It would make them more flexible in the draft.

 

[WvuIN02]

I bet Cleveland would give him for a 4th, possibly even a 5th. Which would allow for 1st QB, and then whatever direction (MLB/wr/te?) they wanted to go.

Dream scenario for me: Gordon for a 4th, Goff/Wentz falls to the Rams at 15, Hunter Henry at 43, Tyler Boyd at 45

Goff, Gordon, Gurley, Austin, Boyd, Henry........180 degrees on offense

 

[JerseyRam1]

Too much going on this year with the move. Also, this team doesnt have a strong veteran leadership base to leverage to help this kid. Thats ultimately what is most important. Hate to see Uber talented athletes waste there moments cause they cant get their heads together.

 

[RAMpage28]

This dude was one of the best receivers in the game when he wasn't suspended. Worst thing he does is smoke some weed. Not out there getting DUIs like Justin Blackmon.

This guy would be the best receiver on our team if we got him, no question.

He seems dedicated to making a big comeback and I think he's worth whatever risk there is, which in my opinion, is minor.

 

[OC_Ram]

I'd give him a shot. If we can make a cheap trade and secure a contract deal we can afford to lose then we have everything to gain.
