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

[Deus Irae]

Some interesting Gordon facts. In week 1 he played 69 of 89 snaps. He was targetted 3 times and got 1 TD for 17 yards. He got that catch matched up against a backup CB and didn't get any separation. Granted he made a great catch over his head. But it makes you question how much is there at this point and how far he is from being 2013 Josh Gordon.

There is nothing interesting about that. This, on the other hand

New #Patriots WR Josh Gordon had an MRI on his hamstring and I’m told it came out fine. That means… Gordon could play for New England in Week 3.

is interesting

Glad they were aggressive and didn't let him land in the hands of Teams like Philly or KC.

It's not his fault his coaches can't coach.

I heard this last week & honestly it means nothing. Carl Lawson has 2 tackles in 2 games I believe but has been killing tackles.

More to the first point Cleveland would be 2-0 w Baker at QB but literally gave 2 games away w Taylor at QB. That coaching staff is almost useless.

My fraternity brother sent me this pick at 3pm...

So how long until the suspension comes down now from the NFL? A conditional 5th is excellent compensation for a player of his caliber. Gordon, Edelman, and Gronk on the field with Hogan and these RBs? My God. Good luck against this team in the red zone.

I wouldn’t put much into that. The guy has fresh legs. He hasn’t played a lot of football. He’s still pretty much in his prime.

I can’t imagine what those talks looked like if “closing” the deal meant upping the deal to a fifth with a pick coming back if he doesn’t work out. What were the other guys offering? A 2025 7th? Burger King coupons?

6 days and 3.5 hours until Gordon's debut!

Looks fake.

He might be inactive a week or two

Looks fake.

It looks like not Josh Gordon. Not all black people look the same yal!!

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Now lets get Antonio Brown.

You've got to hand it to the Patriots. We are NEVER boring. The NFL should kiss our asses (instead of kicking them) for all of the entertainment we provide. Get your popcorn ready and I hope Gordon can fit in here.

Ive said this for years. Love us or hate us the Pats make this game great. Biggest outlier in all of sports. So many great games & SB'S. If you listed the top 10 SB'S you would have to include almost all of ours if not all.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Perfect, said a little while ago that a 5th is the most I'd be comfortable giving up, so very pleased that the Pats didn't have to go over that. That's a real asset that they gave up, but for the need this fills and the potential upside here, it's a trade well worth making.

Now that it's official though, I think we really need to work on expectations management. Don't expect 2007 Randy Moss at any point, here, and certainly not right away. Saying something like this is probably a lost cause for the GDT crowd, but don't panic if he only has a couple catches in the next few weeks. It takes time to learn an offense; how integrated he is in December-February matters a lot more than where he is in December.

u trippin

Dude Gordon is like a freak of nature.

If BB can get his head on right... I'll say it again... fml.

 

[HawaiianPatsfan]

Just have Brady adopt him. Like, legally adopt him. He lives with Tom from now on.

I’m sorry Benjamin, but you’re going to have to give up your room, your litterly much BIGGER brother Josh is moving in, you’re going to have to live in the guest room for at least the remainder of the season.

 

[24Law]

Wonder what number Brady will wear now

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

It looks like not Josh Gordon. Not all black people look the same yal!!

To me it looks like LB Vontae Mack. Heck of a pickup for philly if true. One hell of a pass rusher.

 

[Tunescribe]

If Gordon screws this up he is one big dummy.

No, he has serious personal problems he can't control.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Call me shock that other teams didn’t wanna pony up especially the cowboys. I wonder if they know something we don’t?
