Did the front office swing and miss on Gordon?

How you do get a 4th round pick by cutting Thompson’ what kind of new math is that?

I was wondering the same thing. We didnt trade for him and he wont factor much if at all in any comp picks

The Browns are desperate for WRs but they wash their hands and moved on. He's played only 11 games since 2013 but you rather give him a shot than Butler? He's had suspension issues every year he's been in the league except his rookie year. Think there's a feeling you're getting still getting that once dominant player......I'm not sure. IMO mentally this kid is done...

Essentially we could have Gotten Josh Gordon and a conditional 4th rounder for a 5th rounder. This would happen by trading our 2018 5th rounder to the Browns for Josh Gordon and then cut Deonte Thompson to recoup our 4th round conditional pick. I wonder if the big wigs in the front office see it that way or not. I think this guy will tear it up with NE. He burned somebody bad the other day in the game and was under thrown by 10 yards. He still has his wheels.

Isn't Josh in NE, perfect place for him. He'll love playing in the cold and snow for Bellichick. Brady says it may take awhile, no one just comes in to his house and plays right away. Gotta be smart and so far Josh has proven he isn't.

If you cut a signed player before week 10 they don’t count towards your comps picks.

A team can not get a comp pick without losing more players than they signed. Because Cooper and Butler were cut from their respected teams it means we don’t meet that criteria at the moment.

So in order for us to get the 4th round comp pick for Hitchens we will have to cut 1 of Fleming or Thompson by week 10. My guess is it will come down to what the teams record is week 9. Although I’d certainly rather have the 4th rounder

You can't "miss" if you never "swing".

"We like our guys". While we can't pass for 200 yards a game...

 

[Zekeats]

Can he stay clean for a month?

He showed up last week "not himself". Code for, he was high as a kite.

Maybe he was sober

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Nope.

For him, wouldn't "not himself" mean sober?

miss. you have to at least try

Did NE offer Dez any sort of contract?

 

[Aviano90]

They stayed in the on-deck circle.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Did NE offer Dez any sort of contract?

LOL ....only NE or Dez can answer that

 

[cowboy_ron]

I'm actually proud of the FO for resisting the temptation.

 

[Nav22]

Yeah, we don't have enough unreliable potheads in our locker room!

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

You mean trade for the guy that has been suspended more than he has played? What was the FO thinking?

 

[3rd_n_inches]

LOL ....only NE or Dez can answer that

True lol.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Did NE offer Dez any sort of contract?

They might have offered him one to stay away.

This. You don’t trade for a guy with that much baggage who, by the way, hasn’t been relevant for like 5 years

I don't look for him to make it the entire year even there.
