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

Does he kneel during the anthem? That one is a big deal to me

 

[Deus Irae]

I just did a quick station flip, because Ordway's prattling on about the drugs and I figured I'd get a quick listen to the douches on 9.5 for their take, and Felger called the 5th round pick "exhorbitant".




Needless to say, I switched right back to WEEI.

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

I know that but he has gone to football heaven. Also the guy could look at another big pay day if he becomes a good model citizen and lays off the weed.

Must be nice to be able to wash your hands of accountability because of a disease

 

[Joker]

Dez must be livid....

Drugs are more important to Gordon than football, or even making millions of dollars. He's a junkie. Maybe we get a few decent weeks out of him, but this is pointless. We will be lucky if he doesn't OD on us. I do not like this move. Since when did we start making moves out of desperation?

I posted earlier that when Cris Carter was released by the Eagles, he too was plagued by major drug issues. He turned his life and career around into a Hall of Famer ( with fall guys of course). Hopefully, for Gordon'd sake, he too can have the same kind of turnaround.

Now only if we could get janoris Jenkins from the giants lol.

He'll have to do another lap dance on Jerry Jones.

I just can't ****ing stand it. I wish they'd put those two on the 10-2PM time slot cause I can deal with T&R and Zolak

Gonna OD on Mary Jane?

Are you 90 years old and still reading Nancy Reagan flyers on the dangers of marijuana?

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

They ought to be glad any team in the NFL traded for him....

 

[Hyped]

He might be inactive a week or two

Hmmm...then we likely get a 7 back as he would then have to play in 10/12 remaining games.

#Patriots acquire WR Josh Gordon in a trade with Cleveland; Release WR Corey Coleman: bit.ly/2QAwd0m

So BB will probably talk about the deal at some point during the WEEI interview

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.

Well, for one thing, he had separation against the Steelers last week. He beats his guy at the line and then has a step and a half on him racing towards the end zone. Taylor just underthrows him and forces him to work back and make a pretty amazing leaping catch while running away from the ball. I don't know, if you pointed me at that play alone, I'd tell you that's a great receiver.



He also had 18 receptions for 18.6 yards per reception in 5 games last season catching passes from DeShone Kizer and popped off in the final week for 115 yards against the Steelers.

This was New Years Eve last year.



I don't see where he's washed up.

 

[RobertWeathers]

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





is interesting

Supports my "shot his way out of town " theory

Since when did we start making moves out of desperation?

When we started hoping Kenny Britt would come back and be a difference maker.

We gave up a 5th rounder. If he messes up his career’s over. We also get back a late pick. I don’t see any harm.
