@Rams43 take a look at the new team slogan, unveiled when the team came in the first day. Then imagine the Rams adding a jackass like Gordon.

Now ask yourself if that really makes sense. Be honest.

C'mon, Merlin.

Snead's job includes turning over every stone in an effort to improve the roster.

He's said as much, himself.

So, to me, at the least, he should be investigating Gordon's current background with regard to the drug rehab.

He should be looking into what terms might be necessary to acquire Gordon from the Browns, if he likes the results of the background check.

That's just GM due diligence 101, don't you think?

My bad actually, I didn't notice it was an article from Aug. 2016. But here it is anyways:

Thanks, ... looks like taking the 2016 season off for voluntary rehab changed both the team and Gordon's views on what their future had in store. He'll be going for a good deal less than this with two and a half years out of football now.
Just a prediction, but seeing how much Commish Roger Goodell wants to see the new Rams franchise in Los Angeles succeed, my bet would be on a quick reinstatement for Gordon in the event of a trade. jmo.

No. Let him prove himself on a different team. At this point he has had more failure than success.

The posture that he has changed could easily just be that he is desperate for money. I dont hate the guy. I am sympathetic toward his problems, but after years of trying to help addicts kick their habits and join the real world, I have found that there is always an underlying link to the drugs/alcohol that can be triggered at a moment's notice. Even if they want to succeed they can't. It takes a different kind of commitment/will power that doesn't involve hundreds of thousands of dollars in his bank account in a party and fame driven atmosphere like LA.

I truly belie e that instead of football being a way for Josh to focus and avoid drugs, it is a fuel for his addiction in many ways. He won't get clean playing football IMO.

Richie Ingognito isn't exactly Sally Sunflower either but if I could have him for a 6th round pick you bet your ass I'd do it. He's the caliber of player that would be worth such a small risk, just like Gordon. If he gets it together, Gordon could easily be the best WR in the NFC West. He could be top 5-10 in the whole NFL.

No, I don't. If you were my GM and you brought in a me-first piece of crap who has only managed to be available for 5 of his last 48 games, and for a young coach in his first year who has placed priority number ONE on a we-first mentality... I would fire you. I'm serious.

It's cool though man, agree to disagree on this one lol.

I'm totally on board depending on what it takes to get him. The thing that makes me feel he has matured is the fact that when he got reinstated last year he could of put on the uniform and played some games but he took the time to step away from football and put himself into an inpatient rehab program to get help. I hope he can turn his life around and get back to playing football whether it be for the rams or any other team. Could be the next Chris Carter were talking about here im taking the risk

And this goes back a few years before he got to the pros where they actually DO SOMETHING about smoking weed.

He's just not worth it IMO.

He's a mirage..........go look at his gamelogs..........he had a burst of games where he played great but before and after that he was just OK.

No thanks.
