Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was confirmed to be out of a treatment facility but will be under NFL suspension for now. Gordon entered the rehab last September 29 with no definite date when he'll be back to the team.
The following day Browns coach Hue Jackson release a statement saying that they will move on without Gordon and need to "close that chapter" that time. It is a sad turn of events for the one-time Pro Bowler in 2013 who was also NFL receiving yards leader that year. He set a franchise record of 1,646 receiving yards that year that gives him a vote to be an All-Pro and eventually selected to the Pro Bowl team.
According to Chronicle Telegram, Gordon can be traded even though he is suspended and it seems that's the next move of the Browns management. It is also said that since 2013 Gordon have been in many suspension by the league for violating drug policies over the years.
But Gordon will still be undergoing the reinstatement process before he can play in the league. Also, the Browns might have a hard time of looking for a trade partner for him.
Reports further stated that Gordon got a conditional reinstatement last July but was immediately suspended for the first four games. But after joining the team following his suspension, he decides to go the rehab and checked himself for an alcohol problem. During that day, he thanks the league, the Browns management, his teammate, his agent and all who supported him in his decision.
As reported by NJ, the Browns got the chance to trade Gordon in the past but it never happened. The team sticks to him over the years. And now, they likely not be able to move him as no teams will be a taker for now because as of this moment Gordon doesn't have any trade value for the Browns.
