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

[Jangles]

Excited for what he might bring to the offense.

Worried that he might never even see the field. Would it surprise anyone if he got busted on his way to the airport with a pillowcase full of panama red?

I think hogan will benefit a lot from this move.

I posted it earlier, but it bears repeating. BB is scheduled to be on WEEI at 5:00

Good call

Due to past wrs not always working out, I was taking a wait and see approach instead of getting excited about this trade. Seeing King's thoughts, though, has me amped!!!

Gordon I was right Im so happy.

Glad to see you're alive and didn't suffer a massive stroke or something due to excitement, Chris

Now let’s ship Eric Rowe and a 2nd to Arizona for Patrick Peterson.

Gordon already on the way to Boston. My fraternity brother told me that Gordon was spotted at the Philly airport about an hour ago.

They need to put a tracking anklet on him.

I want to know where he goes, who hes with, what time he leaves and when he gets there.

I’d imagine it won’t be official enough to get a comment?

Gadget plays may work better with more spacing. Right now Patterson's presence is so easy to read as an attempt to get him the ball. IF Gordon actually plays and plays well, and Edelman returns strong, Patterson would be much better as an afterthought who can do damage than someone they are counting on to make 5 plays each game.

Cory Coleman could be a decent wide receiver if developed in the system.

Josh Gordon is either getting cut in three weeks or winning Super Bowl MVP. There will be no in between

In my opinion the Josh Gordon acquisition is as much about helping Gronk as it is adding another WR. They need a legit receiving weapon to draw coverage out of the middle of the field and the Safety help away from #87

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

Well, they got a Randy Moss level talent at wide receiver again. His problems are, of course, substantially different from Moss's "issues" but you can hope he grows up and gets over his addictions. Maybe being away from Cleveland will help. He's easily one of the most exciting players I've ever seen. A 5th round pick is effectively meaningless, the draft is 4 rounds long; they traded a 5th for Cassius Marsh last year then cut him a few weeks later. If you're not excited about this and wishing for the best, I don't know what to tell you.

How's he in Philly already? Do stars not have to pack or go through TSA?

That would be hilarious and sad at the same time. It would be one of the most idiotic moments in sports history.

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.

Need better edge and line players and faster linebackers first.

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.

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