I don't have a problem calling him if he is cut. I wouldn't trade anything for him though.

Get him in sign him and help keep him clean. As soon as he pops on a test you can him.

For those of you who wouldn't sign him... INGRAM.

I think that's an apples and gorillas comparison. It's not like Ingram is a perpetual violator with multiple suspensions over multiple seasons. It's also not like Ingram is a distraction when he is in fact ready to play. Gordon has been both. Dude is just flat unreliable. That's why the Browns are finally cutting bait on that talent.

Ingram's going to come back looking for that final big contract. I fully expect him to not only come back, but to ball out in the last 12 games.

So in short, no extra chance for Gordon.

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.

The Dude

There is a huge difference between drug abuse an addiction. Ingram is suspended for using a drug ruled to be performing enhancing. It had nothing to do with the leagues substance abuse policy. With Ingram it was a one time thing.

Apparently with Gordon he had violated the substance abuse policy on multiple occasions and has displayed behavior of someone who suffers from an addiction. All the suspensions and money in the world can’t help that. In his case a behavior pattern. The only person who can help Gordon is Gordon. Apparently he either cannot or will not stick with his rehabilitation program. I doubt the Browns would have let him go if he was serious about sobriety. It’s not like they don’t need all the good players they can get.
