Player Signing The Josh Gordon Thread: Pats Officially Acquire Gordon for Fifth-Round Pick

[Ras-IR Dowling]

She’s throwing crap on the wall like she always does.

Take her with a huge bucket filled with salt.

Lol fair enough.

 

[rochrist]

I don’t need your permission to want the Patriots to get him.

I was happy when they got Moss & Dillon too.

After the fact, you probably loved those trades.

Too be honest.... I do have Gordon on my fantasy team. I got him for $16 in a auction draft.

It's ludicrous to talk about a guy who's been suspended 56 out of a possible 97 games in the same breath as EITHER Moss or Dillon. Just ...ludicrous.

 

[Tunescribe]

I'm surprised anyone would not be thinking that it might be worthwhile to at least look into the possibility of fielding

Edelman
Gronk
Gordon
White
Hogan/Dorsett/Burkhead

on passing downs.

Looks great on paper, but that's assuming a Gordon brain transplant. We'll see if BB agrees with you.

 

[RobertWeathers]

SIGN THE BEAST.

 

[rochrist]

In case people say that was ages ago this is Gordon last year vs Hayward a pro bowl CB and PFF rated 1 at corner



Would’ve had 100+ yds and a TD with a back qb instead of Kazier


Former fantasy stud Josh Gordon on road to regain stardom

This is Randy Moss all over again

Remind me again when Randy Moss was suspended for 56 games?

Gordon is no choir boy, but he don’t hit women. It is only a matter of time before they remove weed as a banned substance

 

[carmelo15]

That is quite a stretch. This guy has no business being mentioned in the same sentence as Moss.

Not saying he’s a hall of famer but 1,600yds 9td with Campbell is your qb is legit

He has top 5 WR talent

 

[Joey007]

HAHAHA 0% chance Bill will want him anywhere near Massachusetts.

Never predict Bill Belichick.

Surely you’ve learned this by now.

Probably not but for a team that has very light depth at the position (maybe three reliable receivers) it is worth "the risk". The risk being very little, next to nothing.

We've kicked the tires on projects with a lot less upside.

Hey I'm trying to reverse jinx it, lol.

Absolutely!

Who would have thought that he would roll the dice on Albert Haynesworth.

 

[Tunescribe]

If it takes that much time and energy then we cut bait. If he gets with the program great. Giving it a shot isn't hindering or holding us back in any way.

I do not buy this argument that it messes with team chemistry or the other receivers. He is another guy who will need to earn his spot and if he doesn't, good bye.

It's different in Gordon's case because of the anticipation his talent brings and the possibility of someone else losing a roster spot for a headcase that could go off the rails at any moment. I'll be surprised if BB brings him in.

Quit these disingenuous posts. Nobody in here is comparing careers, accomplishments, legacy, or games played. It's pretty obvious that people are referencing elite talent and off the field issues - NOTHING ELSE.

 

[Deus Irae]

As I've already pointed out, the Patriots made an offer for M. Bryant. If they did that, we can be pretty confident that they'll at least take a look at a minor move for Gordon. They'd be stupid not to. People would be stupid not to want them to do so.

 

[Observer]

I see the probability of Belichick signing Josh Gordon as exactly 0.0.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

So who was the guy speculating the Pats were going to trade for a top end WR before the season started? Was it Zolak? I'd laugh my ass off if this is the guy he's talking about.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Sign him!

It doesn't work that way. And actually you referenced off the field issues...so YEAH!!! I'd say comparing moss to Gordon in those regards are relevant, as well as Mr. Gordon not being be capable to lay off the weed rendering himself useless to his team for over half his career! Good Lord.

He better hope so because that guy really looks like a fool now.
