Browns Sign Rookie WR Josh Gordon To A 4-Year, $5.3M Deal

The Browns have signed rookie wide receiver Josh Gordon, the team announced today. The four-year deal is worth about $5.3 million with $3.8 million guaranteed, a league source confirmed. The Browns picked Gordon last Thursday in the second round of the NFL’s supplemental draft. As a sophomore at Baylor in 2010, Gordon caught 42 passes for 714 yards and seven touchdowns. Gordon was arrested for marijuana possession in October of that season, and he recently told the Houston Chronicle he was suspended indefinitely by Baylor after failing a marijuana test in the summer of 2011.

Hmm interesting. Nick Toon (equally as good?) just signed for half that, and he played last year.

 

I guess he is getting paid like a second round pick since that is what they give up to draft him.

 

Glad he doesn't have any "first round talent" thoughts about himself that made the deal tougher than it had to be. Seems pretty steep at this moment, but its a bargain just like all other rookies now if he becomes what they think/want

 

Exactly. It's not like they are on a major hook for this signing.

 

dude went from nothing to $5.3 million in a matter of 3 weeks
