As the clickbait up here would lead you not to believe, he wasn't officially going to be released until Monday. It looks unlikely that he will be released though, as at least 5 teams have expressed interest in trading for him so they won't have to risk him being signed by another team.  I find it highly unlikely that since teams have approached Cleveland with offers that he will just be released. Gordon wants to be traded to either the Cowboys or 49ers, however he has no real say in where Cleveland moves him. It does appear though that Cleveland wants to trade him to an NFC team, narrowing potential teams quite substantially. The reasons known are that he showed up late to the facility, he didn't act like himself when he did show up, an injured hammy, and apparently Cleveland didn't feel like they could trust him. I am for trading for him, since I doubt Cleveland wants much more than a mid or late round pick,   and on the off chance that they Brown it up and release him, sign him. But the fact that he "wasn't himself" is worrying since if we do sign him he could just end up being suspended for the 800th time.

Clicks on thread for full story on Josh Gordon’s release.

Reads wall of text that says the exact same rumored reasons as every other site available. 

Leaves disappointed. 

To be fair not everyone put the comma's and periods in the exact same places every single time so there is that.. Just doing my part to add to the revelations..

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....

      You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.

      Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
