Browns to release Josh Gordon on Monday

Shocking news out of Cleveland – The Browns have announced they will release wideout Josh Gordon.

“This afternoon we informed Josh Gordon and his representatives that we are going to release him on Monday,” general manager John Dorsey said in a statement. “For the past six years, the Browns have fully supported and invested in Josh, both personally and professionally, and wanted the best for him, but unfortunately we’ve reached a point where we feel it’s best to part ways and move forward. We wish Josh well.”

A trade could happen before Gordon is released. As many as five teams are researching possibly trading for him, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources informed.

The Browns announced earlier Saturday that Gordon was ruled out to play against the New Orleans Saints because of a hamstring injury.

Gordon was late to the facility Saturday, Rapoport reported. In addition, he was fine at Friday’s practice then showed up today complaining that his hamstring was injured.

Even though he’s only a third-year veteran, Gordon is a vested veteran based on credited seasons, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported, per a source. If the Browns release him as planned on Monday, he’d be a free agent immediately.
