I'm trying to get rid of him? I'm sure it will be easier closer we get to him returning.
I have no use for him anytime really. DT88/AJ/Dez are my WR's so unless one gets hurt, i don't need Gordon.

I've been dangling Spiller/FJax/Gates/Gordon in a PPR trying to get Lacy or Forte, trying to hit those guys now since both aren't doing that great right now. Both owners have 1 elite WR and hurt TE's (Pitta/Rudoph) with no good options at TE left.
I think my offers are pretty fair, what say y'all?

Your offers are shite. 95% of the time 4 for 1 is shite.

I'm not sure Gordon has any trade value yet.

I traded Tom Brady for Gordon to the Brees owner. He's trying to move Brees for a position player.

I think that you are going to get barely any worthwhile return for him right now.

A more risky strategy with higher upside that I've been thinking about is to trade away one of your top three wr's for an elite rb and bet on gordon to play at a high level when he comes back.

This, there isn't enough time for him to prove himself before the end of the season. If you are keeping him, the best thing to do is trade someone else away that is a known quantity.

Per new rules of the impending drug agreement, #Browns WR Josh Gordon is now allowed to be at their facility. What the team badly wanted

For the Browns this will help them protect their asset while also preparing him to play the final 6 games, if that ends up being the suspension. Gordon will know the game plans, calls and audibles by being at practice all week. The Browns will also be able to monitor his conditioning to make sure he is in the best shape for his return. While nothing prepares you for on the field play like on the field play, Gordon can focus on developing his strength and cardio shape while at the facilities.

I've been given a couple offers but all pretty meh deals. Danny Woodhead, Golden Tate, etc. The one deal I'm kind of kicking myself for turning down was Gordon for Kelvin Benjamin

The problem is, if you don't trade for him now you won't be able to.

Anyone who wants him is interested in the post season. So, the team trading him away after week 6 or 7 will either likely be out of contention and the trade will get rejected by the other players, OR will be a team headed for the playoffs as well and won't want to give him up.

If you want Gordon, now is the time to buy and I still think it's a sellers market. Anyone who wants him has high aspirations.

I am 3-0, feeling great about my matchup this week (he has Peyton on bye and AD was his top draft choice)...so I'm holding onto him for playoffs as of now.

My team will be unreal come week 12 if everyone stays healthy

I don't think it is. I don't think it will be until he proves himself on the field again. You won't get a great price for him, and you shouldn't, he is out for 2 more months.

There isn't much sense in paying a lot for him now. Why give up a star player when you can wait a month or more and make the same trade?

You might get a better price after the week 4 bye, definitely after the week 9 bye. Shallower benches it is much more difficult trade him.

With each and every week that passes, his value goes up, but the viable trade partners starts to decrease. At a point, he will be virtually untradeable.

The only way to accept anything less than a stellar deal for Gordon right now is if you are very, very desperate and this is a last ditch grasp at the playoffs. If you're just looking to upgrade a position, it's silly.

This is why it will be difficult to get good value back for him at any point this year. Unless you get someone that really loves him and is willing to overpay for him, I think the move is just to hold onto him.
