Josh Gordon, future with LA Rams a possibility
Josh Gordon is reinstated into the NFL after a one year suspension.
Josh Gordon will be suspended the first four games of the season for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
Cleveland drafted multiple receivers not knowing if they would have him back.
Ironically many acquisitions they made this off-season include players from Baylor University.
These players include Robert Griffin III, Corey Coleman, and Josh Gordon is back in town.
They may have some chemistry together, we shall see.
Despite the Baylor connections many teams are inquiring the Browns, about the availability of the star receiver.
Where ever he ends up he will be successful and his debut in his preseason game with his current team the Cleveland Browns proves it.

There are multiple teams out there looking to trade for the young receiver.
In the league there are a few coaches who will acquire an athlete with a troubled past and nourish them in improving themselves.
One of these coaches is the coach of a team becoming more prominent lately.
This coach is Jeff Fisher of the LA Rams.
LA drafted many rookie players and made acquisitions on defense to improve the team overall.
On offense they drafted multiple skill guys such as receivers.
Notedly one rookie standing out is receiver Pharoh Cooper, he is emerging as a promising player for the LA Rams.
Veteran receiver Brian Quick on the opposite hand, has been on the radar for not catching the ball.
LA now has three main receivers in Kenny Britt, Tavon Austin, and Brian Quick and Quick may be traded, due to his recent performances in practice.
Why not trade Brian Quick for Josh Gordon?
This would benefit the LA Rams tremendously and In the meantime Cooper is looking like the 3rd top receiver over Quick.
Are Quicks’ drops a valid reason to trade him for another receiver who hasn’t played in over one year?
Secondly will Hue Jackson allow Josh Gordon to leave the Browns being one of their star receivers?
It all matters where Josh Gordon wants to play, his plans for the future, and future in the NFL and also the Browns have a voice in this as well.
Josh Gordon will be successful no matter what team he ends up on in the very end.
Josh Gordon had his best season in 2013, his second season in the league; he was targeted 159 times, made 87 catches for 1,646 yards, according to stats by espn.com.
He did all this only playing in 14 games, averaging 18.9 yards per catch scoring 9 touchdowns.
The longest reception of his careers so far was a 95 yard reception.
Last time he played a full season was his rookie year, with 50 receptions, 805 yards off of 96 targets.
Also he averaged 16.1 yards per catch scoring 5 touchdown and Josh Gordon can catch the ball.
He would be a great fit for the LA Rams because their receiving core last year had trouble catching the ball.
They have improved over the off-season.
Josh Gordon would make a triple threat on the receiving core, or we could say quadruple threat with Coopers rising.
Gordon is physical, can make catches, can make plays and can be speedy.
Josh Gordon reminds me a little bit of Antonio Brown, because of the size, speed, and athleticism.
Josh Gordon is looking to make a comeback, the Rams are looking to make a comeback.
They are a perfect match for each other, the comeback kid on the comeback team.
He could battle Britt for the number one receiver spot or if he becomes the number 2 receiver he would still have a chance at reaching 2,000 receiving yards.
