Just had a thought about the Gordon situation. What if he forced his way out of Cleveland? After all, he claimed to have injured his hamstring at a photo shoot, which is strange to begin with, then shows up at the Browns facility acting strange. Emphasis on acting. What if (and here is where the speculation begins), he looked at the Browns, saw them as bottom dwellers for the immediate future. That he knew he'd be stuck there at low NFL pay and be forced to play for a losing team with second rate or rookie QB's. That he decided "Enough is enough; I've worked to get clean, only to have to labor for a loser for years? I'd rather act like a jerk, and get sent to a team that at least has a chance at the playoffs." And he ends up in NE. Where he can help the team to another SB. Mike McKenzie did this a few years ago in GB. Not exactly the same situation, but very similar tactics.
