This is just one of dozens of crazy ### predictions about Gordon. Why people get laser focused about certain players (Murray included) and their fantasy stats I will never understand. It reminds me of 6th graders on the play ground talking about their favorite players
This is 'essentially' correct.
Go to the link for the full read that explains in more detail.
I watched Gordon especially on almost every play he was out there for NE this year. The number of times that Brady held the ball more than two seconds for him never to come open or stop running the route entirely was all-too frequent in NE's world this year. Just an observation.
NE is said to be moving on from Gordon because he wasn't very productive, looked slow/overweight, and wasn't getting separation. Add on that he is dinged up, needs to get on a another team, learn a new system, build chemistry with a new QB, and will likely have a downgrade at QB. That's also assuming he has no other off-field issues. He ends his time in NE with 60-1007-4 in 17 games but was trending the wrong way. He had to join the Patriots without training camp or practice last year. And he had no training camp with them this year either. This will be the third time he will have to jump into the fray without any prep time, any practice time, or forced to try to learn the playbook overnight. I would suggest that the 2019 version of Josh Gordon (20-287-1 in 6 games) is more likely to show up than the one from the 2013 Browns no matter which team he ends up on.
In the league where you get points for being slow and coverable, running the wrong routes with a case of the drops?
Really? I'd be shocked if the Saints didn't put in a claim for him. I'd also be more shocked if he made it that far in the waiver order.
I'd love for the saints to get him. I'm sure he will be claimed.
Bears can't use the ones they have now, Oakland and Pittsburgh I can see.
50-60 yds is a rate of 800-960 yds over a full season. That actually is pretty decent production. But I doubt he gets that much. NE is desperate for receivers and they didn’t want him. That tells me his numbers won’t be that great going in cold somewhere else.
Because any team that claims him has to open up a roster spot, hope he can get the playbook down while not ending up suspended.
This could definitely be true. Fortunately we get to find out tomorrow. I dropped an over-bearded kicker to roster him overnight to see what happens.
Talent wise sounds perfect. In terms of what he needs as a person, er probably not good.
Gordon should go to a team next year that has a strong armed quarterback who is not as risk averse as Brady. A good offensive line would also help allow him to run deeper routes.
A comp pick? What kind of contract do you think he signs this offseason? Does the team signing him now, sign no one else?
He could offset a different pick they would otherwise have lost. Opportunity cost and all.
As a Gordon owner, my perfect landing spot for him would be Green Bay (also on this list)... and on paper it looks like an ideal setup. However, I have been to Green Bay and am convinced there is nothing to do there but eat Cheese Curds and smoke weed. Gordon doesn't seem like a cheese curd guy. For his sake and the longevity of his career... I hope he goes somewhere wtih a support system to keep him off the Devil's Lettuce.
Compensatory picks are based on annual contract value. Here is a list of the free agent signings and what picks they are projected for in the 2020 draft . . .
