OPEN CAMP: July 27 [url=http://www.patriotscheapstore.com/duron-harmon-jersey-cheap]Duron Harmon Jersey[/url] , Allen Park, Michigan

LAST YEAR: Early and late-season slides knocked team out of playoff contention and cost coach Jim Caldwell job. QB Matthew Stafford led pass-dependent offense with 1,000-yard WRs Marvin Jones and Golden Tate. CB Darius Slay emerged as one of league's best in coverage.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: Coach Matt Patricia, RB LeGarrette Blount [url=http://www.raiderscheapstore.com/marcus-gilchrist-jersey-cheap]Marcus Gilchrist Jersey[/url] , RB Kerryon Johnson, TE Luke Willson, C Frank Ragnow, DT Sylvester Williams [url=http://www.raiderscheapstore.com/brandon-parker-jersey-cheap]Brandon Parker Jersey[/url] , LB Christian Jones, LB Devon Kennard.

IMPORTANT LOSSES: Coach Jim Caldwell, TE Eric Ebron, DT Haloti Ngata [url=http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/brandon-williams-jersey-cheap]Brandon Williams Jersey[/url] , LB Tahir Whitehead.

CAMP NEEDS: Developing running game with two new backs and rookie center. Learning new defense with first-year head coach and new coordinator Paul Pasqualoni.

EXPECTATIONS: Making playoffs must be goal after firing coach coming off third winning season in four years. Third-year GM Bob Quinn wants team to become tougher, especially in short yardage and near goal line.

Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon announced that he would not be with the Browns for the start of training camp in a Twitter post on Monday due to what he called “a part of my overall health and treatment plan.”

Gordon, who has been suspended several times for violations of the league’s substance abuse policy, said that he’s been able to “utilize the resources available to me that will ensure my well-being on and off the field” with help from the Browns. General Manager John Dorsey released a statement a short time later affirming the team’s support for Gordon and announcing the roster move the team made to reflect his absence.

“We will continue to support Josh as he receives the care needed to maintain his progress [url=http://www.raiderscheapstore.com/derek-carr-jersey-cheap]Derek Carr Jersey[/url] ,” Dorsey said. “We are going to respect his privacy while he is away from the team. Josh will be placed on the non-football illness reserve list until he is ready to return.”

Gordon is eligible to be activated from the NFI list at any point and indicated that he expects to be back with the team in time for the regular season.
