Josh Gordon has teamed with an interesting trainer in an effort to make yet another NFL comeback. But he will probably have to do it on another team.
Altough the Browns still control his rights — for two more years — they are likely going to try to trade the mercurial wide receiver, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports. The Browns attempted to unload Gordon at the trade deadline last year. However, if they are unable to swing a trade, a source informs Cabot they will likely release him.
Gordon, of course, is still suspended. Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports Gordon’s camp expects to hear about a Roger Goodell reinstatement ruling within the next month, but Graziano adds Cleveland plans to jettison the 25-year-old former All-Pro via trade or release. Gordon applied for reinstatement earlier this month.
For now, Gordon is being trained by former Olympian Tim Montgomery, Graziano reports. The ex-world 100-meter record holder banned for performance-enhancing drugs and later imprisoned for heroin possession and distribution, Montgomery has rebounded in part by training Gordon and other athletes in Gainesville, Fla., as a speed coach. Gordon has also changed agents. Joby Branion, the agent for Von Miller, now represents him, Graziano reports. Business manager Michael Johnson said earlier this month the pass-catcher is in “the best shape of his life” earlier this month. This offseason regimen may shed some light on that assessment, but Gordon’s NFL future is very much in doubt.
The league reinstated Gordon last year, but the embattled wideout checked into a rehab center and did not play in 2016. The 2013 All-Pro remains banned indefinitely and hasn’t played since the final six weeks of the 2014 season.
Cleveland drafted Corey Coleman in the first round last year, and although Terrelle Pryor signed with the Commanders, the Browns also now employ Kenny Britt as well. Hue Jackson said after Gordon became sidetracked again last October the team was planning to move on from him.
