It would seem that the Josh Gordon era in Foxboro is over. Multiple national writers are stating that the Patriots, who placed Gordon on IR<\/span> on Wednesday afternoon are planning on releasing the oft-troubled wide receiver as soon as he is healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a bizarre ending of the day to be certain. Earlier in the day, the Patriots conducted a walk-through practice and Gordon was visible, joking with new WR Mohamed Sanu, then two hours later the news that he was being placed on IR, followed by reports that he was done in New England.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That he was being placed on IR was no great shock, everyone who saw that awkward tackle against the Giants and the way he went down thought that he perhaps suffered a serious, season-ending injury. But then reports stated that he wasn\u2019t hurt badly and that he could return to action soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the reports of his impending release were…surprising. At the very least, the timing was. And of course, speculation was running rampant. Did Gordon have another relapse in his battle to counter his substance abuse problems?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Things were confused even more when the Instagram post by the Patriots went out that they had placed Gordon on IR. Gordon responded to the post by stating \u201cInteresting\u201d. This set off every amateur psychoanalyst on social media, who all insist on poring over one-word posts and over-analyzing those to the point of craziness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No one wanted to see Gordon fail here, most especially at life. But it seems he\u2019s gone and now the world keeps turning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, What Happens Now With the Patriots WR Group?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The team couldn\u2019t keep eight WRs if you\u2019re counting Matthew Slater in the group. We all knew that wouldn\u2019t happen.\u00a0 So, someone had to go. The Patriots weren\u2019t going to part with Julian Edelman or Phillip Dorsett. And they had just traded for Sanu. Jakobi Meyers is young and is showing great promise, Slater is a Special Teams\u2019 captain. N\u2019Keal Harry is the future for the wide receivers, and they just used a 1st round draft pick this spring on him. Gunner Olszewski returns kicks so the cut had to come from somewhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re just spitballing here, but despite Gordon\u2019s good production in his time here (60 receptions, 1000 yards, 5 TDs) perhaps the Patriots thought that they were in a time of diminishing returns with Gordon. It was clear that he wasn\u2019t running with the same athleticism that we\u2019ve seen in the past. No one ever really expected to see that athletic freak who tore the league up back in 2013. And perhaps the coaches may feel that they can get the same production from Harry once he returns (eligible next week), down the stretch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The short-term problem is, at least for now, who lines up where?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gordon was the outside \u201cX\u201d receiver. Sanu isn\u2019t an X, he\u2019s been mostly used in the slot like Edelman or outside in the \u201cZ\u201d like Dorsett. But perhaps the Patriots could envision him doing that for now. It isn\u2019t unprecedented. Both Chris Hogan and Jo-Jo LaFell were used as an X receiver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dorsett isn\u2019t an X either, he\u2019s most comfortable as the Z and an occasional snap in the slot. He and Edelman are both best utilized in the slot or the Z. This week at least we may see Jakobi Meyers or Sanu there. He\u2019s shown he is capable of running the slants and back-shoulder throws that Brady was tossing to Gordon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Job Will Soon Belong to N\u2019Keal Harry:\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Whenever Harry is ready to return, he should be in the X role, hopefully for the Ravens game. He\u2019s got the size (6\u20194, 225) and the athleticism to take over the Gordon role in the Patriots offense. The two have very similar body types when they both entered the league.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Patriots were already working with Harry in training camp to catch the same slants, back-shoulder, and fades that Brady and Gordon were working with. During training camp, Brady and Harry had numerous side sessions where they worked on those very things one-on-one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brady is meticulous in where he wants his receivers and when. They were working on as soon as he made his break, the ball would be there. It isn\u2019t an easy timing sequence, there were hiccups on the way and no doubt many will occur in the coming weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than anything, this is Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels giving a vote of confidence to the rookie 1st rounder. And with Meyers learning quickly on the job, Harry has a lot of catching up to do. With nine weeks remaining in the season, the offense has the time to find itself and what works best for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, they\u2019ll get Isaiah Wynn back soon for the stretch run. And then we\u2019ll see how well the unit can operate. As we\u2019ve seen here, on a daily basis, the Patriots may be many things, boring is never one of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
