AFC Notes: Browns, Chiefs, Steelers

Browns

Browns GM John Dorsey made it clear that they’re “100 percent” behind WR Josh Gordon moving forward.

โ€œI think Josh Gordon is a physical freak,โ€ Dorsey said, via Nate Ulrich of theย Akron Beacon Journal. โ€œIโ€™ve sat down and talked to him, had numerous conversations, and my message to Josh Gordon is, โ€˜You know what? As long as youโ€™re behind the Cleveland Browns 100 percent, Iโ€™m 100 percent behind Josh Gordon.โ€™

โ€œThatโ€™s my mindset. He and I have communicated, and thereโ€™s some things that Iโ€™ve helped him with and weโ€™ve sat and discussed. But right now, I love where he is right now. I think heโ€™s in a good place right now, but weโ€™ll see how this thing moves forward.โ€
