There is literally no reason to trade Josh Gordon, other than off-field issues, which kill his value in the first place.
 
If you can get a first round pick for him, yea whatever, but you're not going to.
 
Not even sure Little's worth a 5th round pick at this point.
 
Build the throwing attack around Gordon & Cameron. They're that good. Get them a real QB, pick up Ben Tate.

I would absolutely love for the Lions to go after Gordon. Would be a nice fit.

I think Gordon would fit well in lower ohio. Imagine him on the other side of Green with Gresham and Eifert. Sanu in the slot. Gio in the backfield? That's a young, talented team. I'd say throw the Browns a second.

I would have said Jets before the season, but Hill and Holmes have been showing up

Josh Gordon isn't going to be dealt. Potential to be a top 5 WR in the NFL in a pass happy league, can't justify trading that, even with his substance abuse issues.

Also, while a report emerged Sunday of the Browns shopping Gordon, the reality is teams know that the new brass hasn't been wowed by the skill players they inherited, and have called with offers. Nothing was close to being done, and according to sources close the situation, it would be shocking if Gordon is dealt. Teams will continue to call and the Browns proved with the Trent Richardson trade they aren't afraid to go bold, but I would think dealing Little or even former starting quarterback Brandon Weeden would be more likely to go down should the right suitor emerge.

LOL Dealing Weeden? For who? Brett Favre?

 

[elcheato]

yes

Is Hoyer the starter for good? I don't see why you would put him back on the bench, atleast yet.

Nah, Sanu is fine. I say keep the second 

 

[elcheato]

I can't imagine many teams not willing to give up a 2nd for Gordon. Dudes a monster and only 22

i would imagine

 

[RipCity32]

With as bad as the Lions are with drafting, I'd give my 1st and 2nd for him.

it's basically just Belichick lol

I'm not saying Sanu isn't fine, but Gordon would ease up the coverage on Green with another deep threat and then you could Sanu into the slot, and only have Tate on the field for 4 WR sets

Even if they did trade him (which I can't see happening), they wouldn't dump him within the division

When you're looking to trade, I think people look too much at divisions. If a team wants him a team wants him. Don't not send him some place because you're going to play him twice a year. 
 
Anyways, News on Yahoo! Says that the Head Coach of the Browns said they are in no way shopping Gordon

That's the exact reason why they don't trade in division. They know Gordon is a good player, a game changer. Why give him to a team that can make you miss the playoffs by them beating you twice


Like in 03 we traded Bledsoe to Buffalo, and they were a really tough team that year for us; we barely won the division, and they beat us once. And that was trading away our backup QB, not a Top 10 WR

Josh Gordon says coach Rob Chudzinski told him the Browns have no intentions of trading him.

Perhaps, but the Browns leaked dirt on Gordon through the media this offseason, and did not stand behind him publicly through his two-game suspension ordeal. If they don't trade him, it's not because they want to keep Gordon. It's because the offers they received weren't enough. "[Chud] texted me the other day talking about it and just reassuring me there were no trade offers or anything like that," Gordon said. "The fact that [Chud] said there wasn’t [a plan to trade me], it makes me feel a little more comfortable.
