Someone said they wonder why Josey didn't get a bump up since Jax was terrible at RB but we could say the same thing regarding Charles Johnson. Clevelands WRs might be some of the worst in the league and he couldn't get a bump either. However, I question that organization and their GM after drafting Gilbert and Manziel who are both idiots off the field and arent impressing on the field either. Not a good start for that team

There's also a YouTube video that covers it better. It's called Henry Josey Remade.

Thanks DK. After watching the video, you can't help but root for him. I hope they give him a good look on Sunday. I really liked Banyard but haven't seen much from him so far.

Just read that Felton will opt out of his contract, because he realizes the Vikings won't pay him, I.e release him, and he wants the opportunity to hit free agency right away. Makes sense..There's no way we'd bring him back at that cap number.

Man we got a lot of money tied up in under performing players Kalil, Captain, A.P. who can't play do to suspension
Even Jennings (who I like, as a player; is getting too much).

Just wanted to get an opinion but any chance we would trade for josh Gordon? He knows Norv's system. He a great receiver. Any idea how much it would take and if it's even a realistic option?

Also what about Todd Gurley? He's a stud. Big and quick. An injured RB that falls in the draft? Sound waaaay to familiar haha.

This organization has taken enough scrutiny over the last year. I highly doubt they bring an idiot like Gordon in. From an on the field stand point....it's very logical but given his off the field issues, I doubt it.

As for Gurley, I love the guy. I would easily take Melvin Gordon over him but I have a strong feeling that Gurley will fall and In turn, he would be a great 2-4 round pick for us and I would be 110% for it.

I'd like to see us move our 1st and Patterson to try and move up further in the first and get a top receiver. :thumbsup:

That's giving up way too much IMO. We will be picking somewhere between 9-15. Patterson is still a young explosive player that is learning his 4th offense in 4 years. This reminds me a lot of guys early in the season with Teddy, early last season with Rhodes and Floyd, early this season with Blanton, etc....just another guy that wants to give up wayyyy to early. Funny thing is, if Patterson left and blew up somewhere else, you'd be the first to call Spielman and Turner idiots for letting him go. You don't just dump a player that's only in his second year and is one of the most explosive players in the NFL. Plus it's his first year in this offense. It is extremely rare for any team to trade/cut/release a recent first round pick.

I do not even think this clown will be around next year! No way do I want him in purple :!:
Receiver Josh Gordon was suspended by the Browns for violation of team rules after he missed today's mandatory walk-through, Northeast Ohio Media Group has confirmed. - See more at: http://www.prosportsdaily.com/articles/ ... 5Y1Bt.dpuf
