    Yeah, being in Cleveland was the issue with him. You don't truly believe that or did you just want to take an unfounded shot at Cleveland. When he pulls the same shit in NE I would assume you're going to call them an awful organization.

    No doubt Cleveland's organization has been awful - but that had jack shit to do with Gordon's issues. Also, Cleveland is making major strides to turn things around and they gave Gordon the chance to be a part of that. The new brain trust in Cleveland who finally know what they are doing, made the smart decision and took out the trash.

    Gordon still has major demons and I don't believe a change of scenery will make a difference. He may flash for a moment, but don't think he's there the rest of the season.

    Change of scenery should be good for him. Cleveland is just a flat out awful organization from top down.

    The Patriot way has turned a few troubled players around (Rodney Harrison, Randy Moss, Chad Johnson, Corey Dillon)

    Guys want to play for a winning team, smart move by pats. Very low risk for them and they desperately need some speed and athleticism at WR

    Being traded from the Browns to the Patriots in the same day is like having Roseanne Arnold break up with you only to have Scarlett Johansson call you immediately after

    Doesn’t matter whether it’s legal or not. The NFL has it as a prohibited substance.

    They let a Pat's offensive lineman off the hook last year for smoking it.

    Besides, it was a joke.

    Browns get a fifth round pick, but they must give Patriots back late-round pick if Gordon is not on New England active roster Week 10.

    Given that wordage, why would Patriots not make Gordon healthy inactive Week 10 and then re-activate him Week 11?

    Active for 10 games, not active on week 10.

    Ah, gotcha. But what if he gets legitimately injured as opposed to having relapse? Say torn ACL or something. I wonder if there is clause to provide for legit reasons not to be active for 10 games.

    The Browns got more than they asked for

    They were asking a 6th but NE didn't have a 6th so they gave a 5th.

    However, NE's pick will be late 5th round anyway.

    The pick that would go back if he's not active for 10 games is a 7th and 7th rounders have really no value.

    Tom Brady was not a seventh rounder and if you look at the seventh round from any draft, you’ll see what I mean about those picks not having value. Undrafted free agents have a better track record than seventh round picks.
