The Cleveland Browns are highly unlikely to trade Josh Gordon prior to Tuesday’s trade deadline, according to a report.
Pro Football Talk says a source tells them it is “highly unlikely” that Gordon is dealt prior to the deadline.
Gordon checked into rehab recently after an alcohol issue and reportedly was released. However, the Browns wide receiver is suspended indefinitely by the league.
Gordon has had numerous issues with alcohol and marijuana since college, which have led to multiple suspensions in both the professional and collegiate ranks.
Gordon is a talented player who once caught 87 passes for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns in a season, but given his substance abuse problems and suspension history, it would be extremely risky for any team to try acquiring him.
