I Find It Silly when People say: "This Isn't Madden". Uh duh, that's what the NFL has become, guys change teams all the time via trade, release, draft, street FA, UFA, TFA, RFA. Look at the two teams in the SB, Manning acquired as a FA biggest FA of all time considered. Seachickens traded for Marshawn Lynch in 2010 season, STUDD RB. So Please don't sit there and tell me "This isn't Madden". And for that instance, look at the Patriots, they acquired CB Aqib Talib via trae and Lagarrete Blount VIA trade.
OK. Let[s look at this idea in the real world.
Josh Gordon is not a free agent and he has not been released.
It makes no difference what the Patriots did or what the Seahawks did. This thread is about trading for a player that is current member of the Cleveland Browns.
Could a trade for Gordon be worked out between the 49ers and Browns?
Of course, it could. But, not with the active participation of the Browns.
The Browns did not trade him last year, and there is no indication that they are going to trade him this year.
Can you give any evidence that this trade is a realistic possibility?
Without some realistic expectation that this trade is a real possibility, this thread seems silly--perhaps even sillier than Madden. It assumes that Browns would accept pick #30 for Gordon.
