Browns

Browns HC Hue Jackson told reporters on Monday that he’s just happy there’s finally “closure” in regards to the situation involving Josh Gordon, who has been traded to the Patriots.

“We’ve done all we can do for Josh,” Jackson said, per Pat McManamon. “I just thank Dee and Jimmy Haslam for doing everything that they could, tried to create the right environments. Just didn’t work out. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery. And hopefully things work out for Josh. We support him that way and wish nothing but the best for him.

“I hate to term it a relief. I’m glad that there’s closure. Let’s just say it that way. I’m glad that we are now in a space where we’re not thinking of those things, what could be, what could not be. And that we’re coaching the guys that are here and trying to get these guys to play at a high level and win football games.”
