Josh Gordon's strange http://www.thebrownsfootballauthentic.com/christian-kirksey-jersey-authentic , anew in New England.Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have a new offensive toy.The Browns severed ties for good with the problematic wide receiver by trading him to the Patriots for a fifth-round draft pick on Monday, ending a relationship the team did all it could to save.The deal came together two days after the Browns reached a breaking point with Gordon, who has been suspended numerous times by the NFL for drug violations since Cleveland drafted him in 2012."He is gone now," coach Hue Jackson said.Gordon played in the Browns' season opener against Pittsburgh, but he reported to the team on Saturday with an unexplained hamstring injury after practicing all week. The Browns decided to leave him behind when they traveled to New Orleans, and later said they intended to release him.However, Cleveland general manager John Dorsey found there was a crowded market for him and worked out the swap with New England, which will also get a seventh-round pick.The Browns have been supportive of Gordon, but the team felt betrayed and decided it was time to move on."We've done all we can do for Josh," said Jackson, who didn't provide any specifics about Gordon's issues over the weekend. "We tried to provide the right environment. It just didn't work out. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery and hopefully things work out for Josh."Gordon's tantalizing talent had caused the Browns to hang onto him while he dealt with drug and alcohol dependence going back to his teens. He missed training camp to receive treatment and the Browns were cautiously optimistic he would help them this season.But he again let them down, and Jackson acknowledged the separation was necessary."I hate to determine it a relief," Jackson said. "I'm glad there is closure. I'm glad that we're not in a space where we're thinking about those things: What could be, what could not be Womens JC Tretter Jersey , and that we're coaching the guys that are here."Gordon's departure will expand rookie Antonio Callaway's role. Callaway caught a 47-yard touchdown pass in the final two minutes Sunday, but the Browns were beaten 21-18.Also, the Browns added some depth Monday by signing free agent Rod Streater, a sixth-year veteran who has played with Oakland and San Francisco.Gordon's former Cleveland teammate Corey Coleman 鈥?who had his own issues with the Browns before being traded last month to Buffalo, cut and then signing with the Patriots 鈥?was released by New England.Belichick has a long history of reclamation projects with castoffs, including Randy Moss, Chad Johnson and Aqib Talib. The Patriots coach will try to work the same magic with Gordon, a 6-foot-3, 225-pounder with a dazzling blend of size and speed.In his second season, Gordon led the league with 1,646 yards receiving and scored nine touchdowns. He had a memorable 80-yard TD catch against the Patriots, turning a short catch into an electrifying run on which he made New England's defenders appear to be standing still.But that was in 2013, and Gordon has played in just 11 games since because of his off-field issues.Still, he's regarded among his peers as one of the game's most talented players."I think it's obviously known that he's a freakish athlete Youth Larry Ogunjobi Jersey ," Patriots receiver Phillip Dorsett said moments after the trade became official. "We see what he does when he's on the field."He's joining one of the most stable and successful organizations in pro sports, and Gordon has financial motivations to produce. He's making $790,000 this season 鈥?a relatively low figure among star receivers 鈥?and if he stays clean and catches the ball, he could cash in as a restricted free agent after the season."We can't worry about that," Jackson said when asked about Gordon flourishing in New England. "We have to do what we think is best for our organization."Gordon can potentially help a New England receiving group that has undergone numerous changes since the offseason departure of Danny Amendola as a free agent and trade of Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams.The Patriots took another hit when Julian Edelman was suspended for the first four games for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancers.The upheaval left Chris Hogan, in his third season in New England, as the Patriots' most-tenured receiver and there has been a constant shuffling of receivers on the depth chart.Brady did his best during their season-opening win over Houston to spread the ball around, completing passes to eight different players. Seven different players caught at least one pass in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, but the Jaguars' defense was able to key on tight end Rob Gronkowski, holding him to just two catches for 15 yards. On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns are on the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. To help preview a few topics from the Steelers’ perspective, we reached out to Jeff Hartman from Behind the Steel Curtain and exchanged five questions with him. Enjoy!Ben Roethlisberger was a turnover machine against Cleveland in Week 1.Photo by Jason Miller/Getty ImagesChris: “Ben Roethlisberger has a lot of turnovers in Week 1 against the Browns in the rain. How has he performed in general since then? Is he back to being Big Ben, or has there been a dropoff?”Jeff: “Roethlisberger did get off to a pretty rough start to the season, in regards to turnovers Youth Chris Hubbard Jersey , but has since corrected this trend and is playing great football. There is a big difference between the Roethlisberger of Week 1, and the Roethlisberger who entered the bye week. The offense has changed since years past. No longer is the deep ball mandatory, but the intermediate passes and yards after catch are how the Steelers move the ball...and Roethlisberger is thriving.”The Steelers are still searching for answers at cornerback.Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty ImagesChris: “Tell us about the Steelers’ cornerback position heading toward the mid-way point of the season.”Jeff: “You know about Joe Haden, and he has been a Godsend for this Pittsburgh secondary. However, the player opposite Haden, either Artie Burns or Coty Sensabaugh, has struggled. In fact, when Artie Burns entered the game in Week 1, Todd Haley targeted him immediately, and it paid dividends. He is lacking confidence, and has had issues in the Steelers’ zone coverage schemes. If you want to beat the Steelers’ defense, target the cornerback opposite Haden with regularity.”Le’Veon Bell isn’t back yet — but what happens to the running back rotation when he does return?Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesChris: “James Connor has performed quite well for the Steelers. If Le’Veon Bell returns soon, how do fans expect him to be utilized?”Jeff: “Le’Veon Bell won’t be in the lineup this week, but even when he does return the team has been pretty adamant Bell won’t become the sole running back in the backfield. While Bell would likely become the starter Womens Kevin Zeitler Jersey , most would assume a 70-30 Bell to Conner ratio in the backfield to best utilize the talents of both backs.”Chris: “Besides cornerback, what is the Steelers’ biggest weakness right now?”Jeff: “On the defensive side of the ball, the middle of the field is still a vulnerability. Since Ryan Shazier’s injury, the Steelers’ inside linebackers are decent against the run, but when spread out can be crushed on the inside. Jon Bostic, who was signed to fill in for Shazier, has filled in admirably, but still isn’t close to a strength of the defense.”Can Cleveland finally find a way to contain T.J. Watt?Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesChris: “T.J. Watt has been having monster games against Cleveland. Has he been causing havoc against other teams too, or just Cleveland?”Jeff: “Watt has been a player on the rise, and has had consistent production, but has tormented the Browns during his time in the NFL. Watt is on pace to lead the Steelers in sacks, and reach the double-digit sack total. His six sacks through 6 games leads the team, and with a big game on Sunday he could further his stance as the Steelers’ most dynamic defender.”Thanks again to Jeff for taking the time to answer my questions.
