Only the most obtuse of fans would fail to acknowledge that the Cleveland Browns are in full-on rebuilding mode.
The team heads into the 2016 NFL season with yet another new coaching staff and front office, yet another veteran bridge quarterback keeping the seat warm, and more first- and second-year players on the roster than seems possible (49 are currently on the 90-man roster).
That is why executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown should at least answer the phone this summer if another team calls about wide receiver Josh Gordon.
The conditional reinstatement of Gordon from his latest suspension helped kick off the week and sent some positive vibes through the fan base, many of whom are expecting to immediately see Gordon return to his 2013 form, when he led the NFL in receiving yards.
