Gordon released - Claimed By Seahawks.

I'm concerned about Gordon's future, as this was likely the best football environment for a player focused on football away from internal troubles. His teammates supported him.
I wish Josh a happy, clean and sober life. Enjoyed his productive time here.

His career is now up in smoke.

We drafted a RB in the first round they can’t trust to include in the passing game. Is it really even debatable they could have gotten a similar player in the 4th/5th?

If you want to give up the banner and trophy from last year, sure, a 4th/5th rounder would do.

 

[LJRomanoff]

If we can’t get from Harry what we got from Gordon then it was another swing and a miss from a 1st round pick. He’s not here to replace Gordon from 2013.

Settle down, Francis. Maybe let him play a game or two first.

 

[LJRomanoff]

I'm hearing that once he clears waivers we could sign him again.

He won't clear waivers and he certainly can't go on the practice squad. I don't know why you think the Patriots would waive him only to bring him back.

Flash Gordon, God, that was a bad movie.

World saved by the QB of the New York Jets? Not a chance that would be a good movie or could actually happen. "Now Tom Brady, he could do that".

Sanu pushed Gordon out.

What makes you think that?

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

People seems infatuated with 1st rounds picks when in actuality you can find some great players in the later rounds and even undrafted players. That lessens the damage when 1st rounders under perform.

Largely agree. What the first round is (not factoring in trade value) is better odds of selecting an impact player. What the draft is is gathering as many impact players as possible. How many players you select that become impact (or even serviceable such as a Brandon Bolden) is ultimately all that matters IMHO.

Today Curran added some context saying that Gordon was late to some meetings and that the coaches COULDN'T LOCATE HIM AT TIMES.

Remember last year, Pats security lost track of Gordon over the BYE week....then he was suspended by the NFL shortly after.

And I agree with whoever said that we hope the best for him, but NE was probably the best place for him to stay on the path.

Its one of those bad movies that if on, i'll watch for a bit.

Me Too, Especially if it's MST3000 showing it.

IF that's the case I cannot see a contender picking him up. Too bad this probably is his last chance in Todays NFL.

I think someone will pick him up just for the comp pick value. Your team sucks...and you have 8 weeks left in the season....well worth a comp pick.

You can’t sign back a guy you released off IR, right?

 

[Patstastic]

He's a free agent as of 4 eastern. Which means a team like say....Baltimore, KC, or even Houston could pick him up. That would be a problem for the Pats.

You can sign him if no one claims him on waivers.

It's not going to happen, man.

Gordon's not walking through that door. Brown's not walking through that door. Gronk's not walking through that door.*






* Gronk might be walking through that door eventually.

I don't want him too, I'm just learning stuff and answering someone's question.

Will he be able to run and get open if one of those teams signs him?
