This is ****ing stupid then.
You invest all that time in waiting for him to come back/helping him along only to cut him over a wonky hammy?
This is how trash teams stay trash.

Well when you're on a zero tolerance policy and the guy reinjures his hammy off the field and doesn't show up on time then yeah that's enough of a reason for the straw to break the camel's back after 5324 strikes against him already.
showed up late to practice. He doesn't want to be there. It's so simple I don't get why people don't understand it. same recurring pattern of behaviour.
and now he's trying to control his trade destination. further confirmation he doesn't want to get better or stay in Cleveland. of course he wants to go to Dallas where smoking buds aint no thang.

Either keep the guy or don't, it's not a difficult decision. Showing up late to practice is shitty, but it's not a reason for cutting a dynamic player. Like I said, they were looking for a reason if this resulted in a cut. But yes, it's how bad teams stay bad.

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Gordon wants to play for the Cowboys or the 49ers. As a Cowboys fan I hope he ends up in San Francisco.

Especially since Goodwin's injury is worse than they are saying. They desperately need a vertical guy.

Nah by keeping bad coaches like Hue and Gregg Williams they stay bad. Like WTF, just release him if you don't want him on your team.

They do need a dynamic WR like him but they don't need him. Gordon is a cancer.

Don't be stupid. They should have but they didn't, and then he was late to a meeting and now all of a sudden he's a cancer again? The Browns are the NFL's worst team and have been for some time. They've got the shittiest coaches who lie to the media and put out spin to make themselves look good and people like you eat it up. They're not in a position to fight a war over something trivial like this and they do it anyway because they can't stay out of their own way.

If they were lying about an injury or the other stuff that's been reported he or his agent would have been out there already saying something in his own defense.

The only things that have been reported are that he showed up late to a meeting and hurt his hamstring during a shoot, with the leaks (presumably by Hue's people) of "something not right" shot down pretty quickly. If he did anything more than tweak his hamstring, it'd wind up as an injury settlement rather than a release, and he'd fail a physical, preventing a trade. No idea why the Browns would stand by him after his drug abuse and recovery only to want to move on after something so incredibly minor.

It's crazy to me that the return might be just a midround pick. Even Kelvin Benjamin returned a 3 and a 6. I'd easily give up that and even throw in Curtis Samuel for good measure. But the Panthers probably aren't in on this. They'd rather go with Funchess, 2 mediocre vets, a rookie, and two guys who can't stay healthy.
