Colts, 49ers, Raiders, and Dolphins all could use him.

He'll get claimed. Definitely not dropping him in my fantasy leagues until more news comes out.

Future Raiduh. But how Browns can you get? You are so desperate for success in some way that you spend 6 years trying to fix this chucklehead. And....
Patriots don't sign knuckleheads....
Aaron Hernandez says hi.

They drafted him, they didn't sign him after he was a screw up on another team.

They could all use the talent. Could they all use the idiocy and drama?

Ah I see. You're assuming he's guilty of smoking because of his past. Got it.

He wanted a bigger contract this summer. This could possibly be due to that. Also latest reports is that Josh hasn't failed a test.

If his problem is just pot, then he is just fucking stupid. If its alcoholism, there is a solution. It just takes being desperate enough to realise you need help. Definately not the 1st pro athlete to throw away his childhood dreams over substance abuse. Hopefully being cut will be his wake up call and he will get the help he needs.

Brandon Browner disagrees too.

And I’m sure Hernandez was a fine upstanding young man when they drafted him.

nobody would touch him until the cheats drafted him in the 6th(?).

every team knew what he was.

So from what I gather from the reports, he probably showed up to practice high or under the influence of something. Maybe hungover. Tried getting out of practice by saying he had a hammie injury. Browns didn't fall for it, and it was the final straw.

A lot of people are calling him a future Patriot or Raider or whatever. I doubt it. Dez Bryant doesn't have substance abuse issues and he can't get a job.

I just hope Josh Gordon finds some real help and peace in this world.

IMO it's different....Rams drafted Lawrence Phillips.
I never said anything about the Rams. The patsies don’t hold some high moral standing. They draft and sign players with dubious character just like every other team.

I’m assuming nothing except that he’s done everything possible to be unavailable to his team.

For the record, I couldn’t give two shits about someone smoking pot. Failing a test when you know you’ll be tested and suspended or essentially fired says something entirely different. Once? Ok. Repeatedly AND constant issues and drama? No thanks.
