Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer has admitted that he understands the frustration that fans may feel about receiver Josh Gordon's potential ban.

While it has yet to be officially announced by the NFL, it is understood that Gordon could face a season-long ban after failing another drug test.

"Frustration is a natural part of it. I think that's what was felt and heard when that announcement was made. I don't fault the fans for their reaction," Farmer is quoted as saying by ESPN.

Despite the news on Gordon, the Browns have not drafted a single receiver, although Farmer insists that there will be plenty of opportunities for the franchise to strengthen in that department.
