The fall from grace has come on the heels of a stellar 2013 season in which Gordon had 87 catches for an NFL-best 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns in 14 games.

Gordon, whose preseason debut was delayed by a quadriceps injury, hadn’t played since December 2014.
Travis Benjamin started 15 games, Hawkins eight and Brian Hartline four games for the Browns a year ago.
“I played with Josh before”. He’s making plays and that’s the reason we got him.
Josh Gordon has to be one of the most interesting fantasy football prospects this year, but can you trust him?
In fact, Jason Cole of Bleacher Report said that two general managers told him they had “at best, mild interest” in Gordon. But both him and the team have no plans of parting ways as of the moment.
But Jackson said he would “really think about that” in light of the way the Browns played in a 30-13 loss to Tampa Bay on Friday night. “He did some good things”. “He did some good things and there’s thing we’ll continue to improve on but I thought it was a good start for him”.
This is the Tampa Bay Bucs that Dirk Koetter had hoped to see. The former LSU standout has recorded just seven sacks in three seasons and spent much of last season on special teams.
Brown will have to sit out the first four games of the season as part of his suspension. He also ran for 36 yards on three carries. In the first two preseason games against the Jaguars and the Eagles, the Bucs offense did not score until the third possession. He went 3-for-3 on extra points and added field goals from 21 and 27 yards without a miss.
The Cleveland Browns quarterback reiterated Wednesday that while he’s getting increasingly more comfortable running his new team’s offense, the transition is far from complete.
“They’re family. They’re showing me the love and respect back to me by allowing me to stay here up to this point”, he said. “What I was most excited about was how they fought”. That’s where I want to be, everything like that.
Browns: CB Jamar Taylor, who has replaced Tramon Williams as a starter, got spun around in coverage on Evans’ TD catch. C Evan Smith moved to right guard to replace injured G Ali Marpet in the starting lineup Thursday.
