Brandt’s podcast Joe Banner wasn’t named Cleveland Browns president until a few months after the team had chosen to use a second-round pick in that summer’s supplemental draft on receiver Josh Gordon. But he was there for Gordon’s two most productive seasons in Cleveland Cleveland Browns Hats , which is why he spent a good chunk of his time on this week’s Business of Sports Podcast with Andrew Brandt talking about the now-former Cleveland wideout who was traded to the New England Patriots on Monday. Here are the highlights:Given that Gordon “came to [the Browns] with a challenging history,” Banner was “surprised they gave him as much time as they did,” before choosing to part ways this week.Banner was also “really surprised by the Patriots” trading for Gordon. He said, “Josh is now quite open that he has substance abuse problems, both with drugs and alcohol... I’m not aware of [the Patriots] taking a chance on a guy that has this long a history of problems that includes a history of drug abuse.”On the one year that Gordon stayed out of trouble (“avoiding positive tests, arrests, suspension”), Banner said that the Browns employed both a psychiatrist and psychologist, and while there were “only a couple of players they were working with... Josh was one of them,” and that Gordon, “did a lot better in that year... in terms of his behavior and his play.”Banner said that he has “reason to question” whether Gordon’s problems are behind him. But he also noted that a “clean, healthy, hardworking Josh Gordon [would be at the] very, very top group of receivers in the league.”On Gordon’s on-field strengths, Banner noted that Gordon is “not a great route runner, doesn’t get himself open very well Cleveland Browns Hoodie , but he’s so big and strong and powerful,” that there simply aren’t defenders well-equipped to stop him. Banner called Gordon “unbelievably athletic.”On the thought process regarding Gordon in 2013, Banner said that “at that point, we still had hope that we could not just manage him but get him to a better place... In the year that I was there, that was our goal. It wasn’t just to keep him on the field.” Rather, the Browns as an organization were “trying to work with him to make some life-changing changes and focuses and priorities.” He added, “I think by now, five years later, it’s a real stretch to think that’s going to happen. It’s not hopeless, but I think the chances are a lot less, and maybe we were even kidding ourselves five years ago.”Regarding current Browns general manager John Dorsey’s Saturday night statement that the Browns would be releasing Gordon on Monday, Banner believed that it was indeed an invite for trade offers. He recalls talking to another NFL executive at the time the statement was released, saying to him or her, “What are they announcing they’re waiting till Monday for, why don’t they just do it?” He also expected what the Browns ended up getting for Gordon: A conditional draft pick.Banner believes that “Josh couldn’t go to many teams” because the high-risk/high-reward factor. He elaborated: “Most teams, no matter how solid you are Customized Cleveland Browns Jerseys , some cultural shifts [come] when you bring a guy in with these kinds of problems and sending a message... that you’re willing to put up with this stuff.”However, “the Patriots’ culture is so solid and so strong, the truth is it probably has minimal risk to them.” He did add, though, that Gordon is “not the same as other ‘troubled’ players New England have added” in years past. Banner made clear that, “Josh is going to have to change very dramatically, very quickly, or this could be a very short-term situation.”On the 2013 trade offer for Gordon from the San Francisco 49ers, Banner confirms that the Niners wanted to send a second-round pick plus a player. He was all for the trade, saying that he “couldn’t see a situation in which you could trust [Gordon] for the long run. How do you build your team for the next year if you’re not sure he’s going to be there? How do you consider re-signing him if you know at any moment he could be in serious trouble and you have nothing to show for the investment you made?”Ultimately, the trade was vetoed. Banner didn’t name names but said that, “some people in the building who were consumed by [Gordon’s] talent and the possibility decided that not making the trade was the better decision at the time.”MMQB shines a light on Bob Wylie The HBO series Hard Knocks has helped turn several members of the Cleveland Browns into household names over the past month.The series has also shined a light on offensive line coach Bob Wylie, who has quickly been revealed to be a national treasure. For those who need a quick refresher, Wylie is in his second year with the Browns, part of a 44-year career coaching at the professional and collegiate level. According to his bio at clevelandbrowns.com, he is also a licensed pilot www.authenticsclevelandbrowns.com , amateur magician, accomplished musician and serves as a consultant for EA Sports’ Madden NFL video game.As the Browns prepare for Sunday’s season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and with the final episode of Hard Knocks airing tonight, Jenny Vrentas of Monday Morning Quarterback caught up with Wylie for a profile. Here are some of the highlights. Wylie began taking flying lessons while a senior in high school, which helped him with the ladies:A lover of magic, Wylie learned one particular card trick from none other than David Copperfield. Wylie uses those skills in a special way:Wylie’s coaching education has links all the way back to Hall of Fame coach George Halas. In high school, Wylie played for and then coached with Frank Maznicki, a halfback and kicker for the Chicago Bears under head coach Halas. That led Wylie to form a friendship with Jim McNally, an offensive line coach at Boston College and provide Wylie a path into the NFL:Those connections led Wylie to create the C.O.O.L. Clinic for offensive line coaches. The clinic has grown over the years to the point where 450 coaches from the NFL and college teams attended this year. Closer to home, Wylie highlights the challenge the Browns are facing in replacing left tackle Joe Thomas:The Hard Knocks cameras will soon be leaving Berea (if they have not already done so) and Wylie will retreat back into the obscurity of practices and meetings where position coaches do their work. But his impact will continue to be felt, not only within the Browns organization, but across the football world and beyond.You can read the full article here - it is well worth the time.
