Poll: Should We Go After Josh Gordon?

[Bradyking12]

For obvious reasons of course imo, if it were to happen I think it would be for the 2017 season since he's doing rehab

 

[Jackson 2]

Who would he replace in terms of playing time? Also, has he been released?

 

[Gronk]

2017 career-rehab, minimum contract with incentives, yes.

Any sort of real financial commitment, no.

It'd probably be Amendola as odd man out. And that'd be okay if Gordon is football-smart enough to master the offense, and regular-smart enough make it through the season without getting suspended/banned.

If he got cut it'd be at least worth a job interview, so to speak. Not in trade.

Not yet but Hue said that they are moving on so hes as good as gone

 

[New England Pride]

Vet minimum ya why not

Again, who should he replace in the receiving corps,? Who do you want us to cut to take him?

Amendola

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Would he have to pass waivers?

You want to grease Amendola for this guy?

 

[Tony2046]

I'm not interested at all. He has already made some incredibly costly decisions over the last two years and probably will make a few more before he's hit rock bottom hard enough to take rehab seriously. I do hate stories like these because I would rather be watching highlights of him.

 

[Jackson 2]

Amendola

Mother of god, the apocalypse is upon us.

 

[Bradyking12]

Watch Gordon highlights and imagine Brady throwing to him

 

[Tony2046]

That's the other part of the equation.

 

[farn]

No. A headache that you can't count on.

 

[farn]

Amendola

This has to be a joke, right ?

 

[anditsgood]

I love the kids talent, but hes a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

If you want another feast, i would have to pass....

 

[Tony2046]

Watch Amendola highlights and imagine he's not in rehab.

 

[Gronk]

No, I don't want to. I'm one of the guys who argued against cutting Amendola every time it's come up. Danny brings a lot to the table in terms of his familiarity with the offense and the QB, work ethic and team-first mentality, and ST value.

But if a WR had to go to make room for a player that can provide a different dimension to the offense, it would likely be him. My comments were based on a highly theoretical scenario in my mind under which Josh Gordon signs a minimum deal for 2017, sticks around through camp and disproves 4 years of poor conduct to convince BB he would be a model citizen and player, and the roster construction was such that only 4 WR could be kept forcing a tough last-week cut of Amendola. In which case, yeah, I could get on board. But I wouldn't be confident about it.

 

[Jackson 2]

Fantasy freaks on parade. ************. I'm sure Brady would be pissing champagne at the thought of Gordon replacing Amendola after being away for a month...

 

[ausbacker]

I'd love for the Patriots to go after Gordon especially knowing he'll be put into an environment where professionalism is a must. That said, Jerry Jones will be pulling himself sideways at the thought of pairing Gordon with Bryant so I doubt the Pats are given a chance. Someone will grossly overpay for his perceived talent.
