Josh Gordon weighs in on situation between Browns, Manziel with tweet

Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon is currently suspended for the entire 2015 season after failing a substance abuse test, which means he, like the rest of us, will watch his team take on the Baltimore Ravens from home on Monday night.

Gordon indicated on Twitter that he was looking forward to watching the game Saturday, but added the hashtag "starttheguy," presumably hinting at his position on the Browns' recent benching of Johnny Manziel.

Manziel was demoted to the No. 3 quarterback spot after a video of him partying during the Browns' bye week surfaced, with the 22-year-old reportedly lying to the organization about when the video was filmed.

Gordon responded on Twitter after Cleveland beat writers took notice of his tweets, appearing amused by the attention he'd received.

Josh McCown will start in Manziel's place on Monday night.
