    The Browns would have to give us a couple of draft picks to take him off of their hands or I wouldn't even consider it.

    If he gets his **** back together, I'd love to bring him in.

    That makes zero sense. The only reason that happened (for the first time in NFL history) with Brock was money. If the browns GM did that, he should be fired and never get another NFL job.

    I would give them a 6th and role with the risk
    Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

    Then they can keep him and peddle him to somebody else. I'm not wasting assets to take on somebody else's headache.

    Knowing Gordon's talent, is he not a better risk than taking a late round WR who spent the entire year on the Non-Football Injury list?

    I mean our #2 WR right now is basically a toss up between a bunch of guys that very few of us couldn't pick out of a lineup.

    This is another Percy Harvin move. Why the Bills are going after a guy with two drug suspensions IDK. Think he is reformed? Not.

    Here's Buffalo's luck... Bills sign Gordon. He puts up good numbers for 2 or 3 games then gets drug tested and is positive. Boom!

    This smells of another failed Whaley move. I'd rather have the kid from the Cardinals.

    His off field issues cancel out the talent factor, IMO. Until he gets his **** together, a late-round pick has a better chance of contributing than another suspension-waiting-to-happen. I'll take a less-talented 'clean' guy that wants to work his ass off instead.

    We've had some luck resurrecting people's careers, then they leave for a better team.

    I'd totally do it with an incentive laden, one-year, prove-it kind of deal.

    A conditional late round pick next year would be the right thing. Insulates us against the repeat offense. If they are looking they must be doing diligence.

    Less talented clean guy who also missed the entire season. You're putting an awful lot of hope on a late round pick that may not even make it out of camp.

    Somebody else would be putting an awful lot of hope on a guy that has been suspended for at least part of 4 seasons in a row, out of a total of 5. Why do you keep bringing up Listenbee as a comparison, unless you are planning on swapping him for Gordon? A more relevant comparison would be a draft pick that we haven't used yet that we would have to give up to acquire him. It's not an 'either-or' with Gordon/Listenbee, it's Gordon/draft pick.

    Because we have no way of knowing that a draft pick we swap would have been a WR. The only valid comparison we have is Listenbee.

    Why does the draft pick have to be a WR? My point can be taken for any position.

    It doesn't have to be. I'll take known talent over unknown talent all day when your talking about Day 3 picks.

    I'd take him for a 6th or a 7th. Nothing more.

    Worst case is he effs up again and is suspended. Would his salary count against the cap if he was banned for life?

    They seem to be looking for character guys. I wouldn't throw Gordon into the mix. He's almost inevitably going down again.
