The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... The Browns have not addressed what they will do if Gordon is reinstated by the league in August. They may not have to. The team's actions speak loud, and they do not seem to bode well for Gordon's return.

Diehards Line: As ESPN.com's Pat McManamon notes, the Browns took an armada of receivers in the draft. The four drafted receivers match the most in a draft in team history (the Browns took four in 1966, per drafthistory.com). Though another talented player is always welcome, drafting four players at one position sure seems to indicate the team is moving on. More important, another not-so-subtle policy shift (for lack of a better term) by the team also seems to indicate that Gordon's behavior and actions do not mesh with the way the Browns want to operate in the Sashi Brown-Paul DePodesta-Hue Jackson era. That method was first made public by Jackson at the combine, when he said that certain behavior would no longer be tolerated by the team, that a line would be drawn. On Tuesday, owner Dee Haslam appeared on ESPN Cleveland and said the organization made a conscious decision to focus on high-character players in the draft. ... Meanwhile, the Browns have no reason to say anything until the NFL decides if Gordon can play again. At that point, the team could keep Gordon, cut him or try to trade him. It would be interesting to see if the Browns could get a draft pick for Gordon; he has talent, but he has baggage. Stay tuned.
