Browns willing to move Gordon for 2nd rounder

[big dog cowboy]

the dude is one failed test away from a YEAR-LONG suspension. A second round pick is pretty risky for a guy with his kind of off the field issues.

Not an RKG.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

He's a great young talent at a position that isn't of need.

Sorry but we don't need a guy who 1) is 1 step away from getting a lengthy league suspension for his off the field stupidity and 2) he's going to want a nice contract in the very near future. In case folks have forgotten, and I'm sure the OP would love to, we have this kid named Bryant. You might have heard of him. He's a better WR than Gordon, and a large majority of the WR's in the league, and he's going to be needing a nice new deal soon.

On top of that this team desperately HAS TO HAVE D-Line help. Giving up a 2nd round pick for a luxury that is not needed on offense would be absolutely stupid.

I think this pretty much sums it all up for me.

It is but Terrance Williams was unreal yesterday. I would have made the trade in a heartbeat before the Denver game. Now, it's a luxury, especially when there are desperate needs elsewhere.

LOL, someone called it a luxury the last time this got brought up.

I'm tired of that RKG philosophy. At one point, Dez wasn't a RKG around here. He was a 'troublesome womanbeater' or some such nonsense. Sometimes you have to take the risk for guys with a lot of talent and try to build an environment around them that keeps them out of trouble.

A second rounder sounds high given the needs on our team, but if he can be negotiated down to a 3rd rounder, I'd consider it.

But that was before Williams went insane against Denver. Before that, Williams had done nothing to suggest he was a playmaker.

Dez has always been a RKG. Fans may have considered him a "troublesome womanbeater" but Dez has NEVER been in trouble with the law prior to becoming a Cowboy.

Don't pull a hammy backpeddling...lol.

I said we were just fine with Dez and TWill outside with Beasley and Harris inside. We were then we are now.

No back peddle at all. I can admit that TWill surprised me. If Williams can continue to blow the top off defenses, then he brings same element that Cowboys lacked (deep threat play maker opposite Dez) that Gordon would have provided. Not sure why this is so hard to understand.

And Beasley and Harris are not as good as Austin, let alone Gordon. Austin is still the best slot receiver on the team.

 

[tyke1doe]

Have you guys wanting Gordon not be watching the game? The Cowboys need DEFENSE!!!!!! Save those draft picks for defensive help.

 

[boscokt]

This is why we suck. People see that game Sunday and then two days later are talking about trading for a WR.

 

[Nova]

We don't need Gordon at all, but I like what he brings to the game. He reminds me of a poor mans AJ Green, but honestly not that big of a step down. He's a little more athletic, but not as smooth of a player as AJ (is anyone in this league, though?)

6'4", 4.5 speed. Better vertical than AJ, but with a clear reach disadvantage.

I think if he keeps out of trouble I think he's a fringe top 10 WR.

 

[Frozen700]

Since we are asking, i would take Haden or TJ Ward

Haden is their most Valuable player...yes more valuable than Jordan Cam

The only thing close to a shutdown corner in this league.

With him, we could leave Haden on one side completely Alone, bring pressure and double the other side.

To bad this isn't madden....

But I would take Gordon. If Wash gets him, everyone is in trouble.

 

[BourbonBalz]

True enough, but it's a luxury I think we should take. Romo would be unreal with Bryant/Gordon/Witten/Williams/Murray as his weapons.

It wouldn't keep our defense from sucking, so no.

 

[bayeslife]

Can he put pressure on the opposing QB?

 

[Ratmatt]

According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the Browns would like a second-round pick in return. Gordon's talent is worth a first-rounder, but that's not all that goes into the equation. If it were, the odds would be extremely low the Niners could find a player as good in the first round of next May's draft.

Why would you give up a 2nd rounder for another wideout.These are the kind of moves that have the Cowboys in the position that they're in.

 

[Derinyar]

If you're telling me we can get a #1 wideout with no issues for a second round pick I take it every day of the week, regardless of what we already have. Now you're telling me we can get a good WR with some huge red flags for a second round pick and I say pass. Gordon seems like grade A knucklehead.

 

[Dale]

The last thing this team needs is another WR.

This. Does he add another weapon to the offense? Sure. Does he bring a different skill set with his speed? Absolutely. But we're more than reasonably set at wide receiver, and need to use a valuable asset like next year's second-round pick to get a highly talented player at a bigger position of need.

I am on a Cleveland Cavaliers forum because I am from Cleveland and they're my NBA team and the Indians are my MLB team. Obviously I didn't go 3 for 3 on the Cleveland teams because the Cowboys are my NFL team Anyways they have a Browns section and they're discussing Gordon and there was discussion if Gordon has top 5 WR potential and this one poster brought Dez into the mix and I replied:

My response:
Dez Bryant isn't a serious headcase btw. Did he get into some off the field stuff last offseason yes but he's much more mature now and hasn't done anything in over a season (21 games) to warrant any kind of suspension. Plus he has never been suspended before unlike Gordon. Dez's upside is much higher than Gordon's! Do you realize that in the second half of last year Dez had 879 yards and 10 TD's! He was on a complete tear and this year he already has 6 TD's and is one behind Welker for the league lead.

Bottom line to me is if you can get a guy who has the potential to be top ten talent at his position for a second rounder, you consider it. We do have needs like D-line right now but what about if Bryant gets injured or Williams get's injured? We have our 1st and 3rd rounders to draft D-line.
