The Cleveland Browns have done little to show that they can manage to pull out a win in the final two weeks of the 2017 NFL season. However, they have enjoyed the return of stud wide receiver Josh Gordon, who has been excellent, and is expected to be their potential primary target moving forward.
The continuous lackluster seasons from the Browns have watched the departure of veterans like cornerback Joe Haden move on to play for contenders. Despite his troublesome past with Cleveland, Gordon has no intention of leaving.
By way of Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com:
“You can ask for a trade whenever you want to really, but that's not really on my mind, man,” Gordon said. “I'm just glad to be back.”
Gordon added that while he is happy for his former teammate, he is more focused on winning with the Browns.

“I'm happy for both of those guys just knowing their careers and their journeys, getting an opportunity to spread their wings, so to speak, get a different look, a different perspective,” Gordon said. “I know Joe [Haden] was heartbroken having to leave here. Joe's one of those guys that was brought in 100 percent here, and a lot of us take on this job of being here as a challenge and something that we don't shy away from.”
Gordon burst back onto the scene after a two-year hiatus due to a string of marijuana-related issues. Somehow, he has not let that slow him down by any means.
He has managed to pick up right where he left off despite both the late start to the year and the iffy quarterback situation for the Browns. He has recorded 12 catches for 201 yards and a touchdown in three games this year.
Needless to say, it will interesting to see how well Gordon performs with a full offseason under his belt. However, he is still going to need plenty of more help if he wants to bring back a winning season to Cleveland.
