BEREA, Ohio -- Receiver Josh Gordon admitted today that he's growing weary of rumors that he'll be traded before next Tuesday's 4 p.m. deadline.

"I'm tired of it,'' said Gordon. "I honestly wish if it was going to happen, I wish it would happen already instead of dragging on. If a trade offer came in and that’s what the Browns want to do, so be it. If not, then let it be known this is where I’m going to be. Honestly, it’s part of the game. I’m dealing with it.”

Gordon, selected in the 2012 supplemental draft with the 2013 No. 2 pick, said he knows a trade is possible.

"It would be pretty naive of me to not think it's possible in this business of the NFL,'' he said. "So it could happen any minute, any day. So if it does, it does. If it doesn't, you know, I'm glad to be here.''

He said he knows a deal can still take place even though coach Rob Chudzinski assured him it won't happen.

"Ultimately it’s up to Joe Banner and Jimmy Haslam and the guys up top, but I do feel comforted in my head coach wants me to be here, but the reality of it is anybody can make a deal and they’re saying they’re opening to listening to people, so anything can happen.”

He said he needs to continue playing well -- including Sunday against the 7-0 Chiefs -- in spite of the rumors swirling around him. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday that at least three teams have contacted the Browns about Gordon, and that they have standing offers from two teams that include a high pick and a player.

"Regardless of the trade, I need to show something, not just for people, just for myself,'' Gordon said. "Regardless of all this stuff, trade rumors and stuff like that, I still have to be focused and play my game.“When it gets here, it gets here. If I’m still on the team, great. If not, great. That’s just how it’s going to have to go for me. I’m not sure right now.”

Gordon was asked if there isn't a small part of him that would like to play for the 49ers or Redskins, two teams that have been mentioned in rumors or speculation.

“It’s really not even up to me in that regard,'' he said. "I’m here in Cleveland and I want to make a difference here in Cleveland. This is where I am right now. Whatever happens tomorrow, I’ll have to deal with that then, but my head and my space is right here and that’s what I’m focusing on.”

Gordon was asked about the perception that his body language during Sunday's 31-13 loss to Green Bay signaled lack of effort or frustration. He caught only two of his six targets for 21 yards, his worst game of the season.

“Deflated? I’m not sure I saw it,'' Gordon said. "Guys wanted to win just as bad as any other week. It might have the weather. Guys were looking a little bit slower. It was sloppy, guys falling down. That might have been the case. But guys want to win, go hard and give 100 percent every week.”

He said he wasn't frustrated with Weeden, who struggled with his accuracy during the game.

"I don't believe so,'' he said. "Me and Brandon have always been cool, always been tight. It’s just that certain games go our way and certain games don’t.”

Gordon said he was shaken up on that second-quarter play on which the defender tossed him to the ground.

"I guess I just got the wind knocked out of me on my left side by my ribs or whatever, but I was alright,'' he said.

As for playing with his third quarterback in eight games in Jason Campbell Sunday in Kansas City, he said, "It's a part of the game. Guys get hurt, guys come in and come out. You roll with the punches. We're dealing with it. Me as a young wide receiver, at least I'm getting it out of the way now.

"We've got a few more days to get into rhythm of throwing with Campbell, but we have before. We've practiced with him enough times. We've done it. This is our third time with a different quarterback so I think we're ready for it.''
