Gordon to IR

[Family]

Well everyone knew it.

He'd only last X number of games.

It was 7.

But who thought it would be this way?

 

[Patjew]

A weird season keeps getting weirder. I wish I felt less sad about an awesome 7-0 team.

It’s not just laundry to me, gosh darn it!!!

 

[mcmurtry86]

So basically we're just using him a condom? When all done and used up, throw it (him) in the trash?

welcome to pro sports

 

[mosslost]

Are you ****ing kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Absolutely unreal the injury luck on odd years.

Solid D though no?

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Dez?

Thats a no from me

Excuse me if this take has been posted already (tl/dr) but I can’t say I’m surprised by this. I actually predicted it talking to friends Tuesday. And I don’t quite view this as an “oh damn” situation. I think this speaks well to how they see Harry and Meyers developing. That’s a good forward looking take for the franchise.

I think it’s fair to say that compared to what he did before he got here, Flash Somewhat underperformed. He did provide some key moments. I join all others in wishing him well, staying the course on his personal well being and succeeding with another team that is not a threat to the Pariots.

Antonio Brown is a self centered idiot who is all about me and not about the team,no way would he have lasted here with his attitude anyway IMO - He thinks he is bigger than the team and the Steelers kept his antics under wraps and out of the media until it was too much to bear - Antonio Brown has talent worthy of the Hall Of Fame but the mental capacity of Forrest Gump

Antonio Brown is better than every receiver we have. Stop lying to yourself. We all know he's an idiot but his skillset is undeniable.

Neither. Tyrek Hill verbally threatened the mother of his child saying they should both be “afraid” of him. Nobody cares.

Brown says he’s “investigating” a woman and shows his friends a picture of her AND her kids showing how “broke” she must be by telling an SI reporter a story she can’t prove. He gets released. Oh and the first accuser dropped her case. Rumor is she’ll re-file but it looks like she’s reaching at this point.

Yet he gets released.

Michael Bennett has a verbal altercation with his position coach. He’s still on the team.

Yeah, the Patriots don’t know how to run a successful franchise like the KC Chiefs do......

[mosslost]

Why can’t the good vibes of an awesome win just last for a week?

this.

Now all the shows will be talking us down again.

Let's trade for more stuff.. soon

 

[DaBruinz]

Some useful info from @Miguel

 

[mosi]

Wow!

You can say that again. From the looks of it, he did not see it coming!

 

[Wiluven]

Shocked as the rest of us but considering his production and lack of separation (albeit great hands) this move likely means BB thinks he can get same or better production from Harry and also creates cap space (2m?)

So basically we're just using him a condom? When all done and used up, throw it (him) in the trash?

No. They gave him the best work environment, they paid him, gave him an opportunity.. he is not performing as they expected so he will rehab and when 100% will be released. He will go through waivers and land in a team that probably will give a chance for him to be the WR2 or even WR1 (Jets??). I hope e everything works out for him, but this is not charity. We don’t know other stuff but they were loyal to him and HIM made a mistake last season and they stuck with him.

 

[RIpats88]

Why are we waiving a perfectly healthy wide receiver who knows the offense and is productive in this offense?

This is just bizarre. Meanwhile lacosse and Izzo sit injured with bill waiting for them

 

[Zarozzor]

I’m going to be pissed off he goes to the Bills, Saints, or Packers

Okay this could mean a lot of things.

Yikes.

I don't see that reply any more. Not sure if Josh deleted it?

*shrug*

It is to me.

 

[mosslost]

IF the Pats brought AB back.. would it stick? Would league say Eff Hugh??

 

[DaBruinz]

It would seem that Josh Gordon was surprised by his being IRed.. based on his instagram comment.

 

[Uptown]

Huh?
