Agree that would be a classic overreaction. Need to give him 2-3 weeks before he ascends to WR1 status.I think the classic overreaction is going to be that he's instantly a WR1 with his talent put together with that offense.
As an owner of Gordon, agree.Crazy that he's going there. What's his value? I think the classic overreaction is going to be that he's instantly a WR1 with his talent put together with that offense. But I don't buy that he'll be putting up monster numbers there. Brady doesn't exactly have the best deep ball.
For sure. i think this would be great for the Pats as a team. Stretches field, gives Gronk less coverage, opens up a lot of things. It will help their offense. From a fantasy perspective he seems like a boom/bust wr3 if he sticks. Dont see him putting up massive numbers but I think he can succeed as a player there.As an owner of Gordon, agree.
As a Pats fan, if he can stick, it's perfect. They need somebody to stretch the field and open things up for Gronk, Hogan, etc.
I would take this opportunity to sell him in redraft. Between the hamstring injury and having to learn a new offense, I can't see him making much of an impact soon or really at all this year. It took Dorsett a while to catch on after being traded to NE right before the start of the regular season last year and I don't think this situation is much different. I think he would've been more valuable this year had he stayed in CLE.Crazy that he's going there. What's his value?

Assuming he can stay healthy AND stay straight to where he can get on the field. And he has given little indication that he can shake his issues long enough to get on the field and stay on the field.For sure. i think this would be great for the Pats as a team.

Definitely this. But given the chance of no team or the Pats, its a pretty good landing spot for him. If anyone can keep him in check its Bill. If the Pats cut him, he's done.

just the way we drew it upJosh Gordon and Coleman go from the browns to the pats before week 3.
Disagree. Moss wanted to play football, not sure JG wants to put in the work to play football. He just wants to be on the field every Sunday in the spotlight and everything it brings with it.Randy Moss 2.0
That’s a fair point, I must admit.He literally gave up on the Raiders. He didn't run routes on plays that weren't designed to go to him and loafed during practices and games.
This mythology that the Pats don't take on talented problem children is a bit strange. I get the "Patriot Way" and all but let's not act like they are some saintly organization. They employed a literal murderer after all.
I’d be selling high the instant the ink was dry on the Pats trade.Agree that would be a classic overreaction. Need to give him 2-3 weeks before he ascends to WR1 status.
POTD.Hopefully the bag of balls sent to the Browns from the Patriots for Gordon will at least be inflated.
That he was late to meetings & wasn’t learning the playbook.Maybe I'm not remembering correctly but I thought Dillon refused to go back in a game with the Bengals and caused other locker room problems.
Where did the lazy narrative come with Gordon? - he's in amazing shape.
FixedI’d be selling Hogan and Dorsett the instant the ink was dry on the Pats trade.
Just so people know. Ian Rapoport is the least reliable big name pundit out there. Just last week he said, Devonta Freeman is fine. Just yesterday he said MCcoy broke a rib and then said came back and had to correct himself.OK....
Josh Gordon - WR - Browns
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Patriots are "getting close" to acquiring Josh Gordon.
I would be shocked if they did not, seriously.Be nice to see the Rams make a call Think I'd be ready to crown em
As cryptic as Hoodie is, do we really believe he would allow it to be leaked that this is what they are up to if that is indeed the case?Just so people know. Ian Rapoprt is the least reliable big name pundit out there. Just last week he said, Devonta Freeman is fine. Adam Schefter reports it, then I'll believe it.
Yeah, he's been wrong numerous times. Schefter is way more reliable.Just so people know. Ian Rapoprt is the least reliable big name pundit out there. Just last week he said, Devonta Freeman is fine. Adam Schefter reports it, then I'll believe it.
If he plays on more than 30% of the snaps at any point before November I'll eat a shoe.Fixed
Some of us -- even Gordon backers, among whom I am one -- don't really buy this. We could be wrong, but the use of "source," and considering the situation and how Belichick would want anonymity until a deal is actually struck seems to leave the reports suspect.As cryptic as Hoodie is, do we really believe he would allow it to be leaked that this is what they are up to if that is indeed the case?
What size do you take your shoe?If he plays on more than 30% of the snaps at any point before November I'll eat a shoe.
This one makes the least sense for sure. They're already having trouble finding enough targets for their 3 good receivers. Throw in a young head coach who hasn't dealt with this situation before, and the city with the most distractions in the NFL, and this would make no sense.Be nice to see the Rams make a call Think I'd be ready to crown em
damn, don't make me start cheering for this guy now.If he plays on more than 30% of the snaps at any point before November I'll eat a shoe.
Never heard a deadline? I think that as just when they were going to release him.Was it 4 or 430 that this apparently had to be done by?
And why is there a deadline?
If Gordon goes to Patriots, you can bet that he will have to buy into the structure and the culture instituted by Belichick. Man, if Brady gets hand on this guy, he'll unleash him and wreck havoc on NFL...In a big way this is perfect for Gordon. Addicts need structure and he won't find a more structured environment in the NFL. It's what players always say, the minute you walk in that building it's football all the time and while some players complain about this some highly appreciate the way it locks out distractions.
Yep. Gordon owners and Non Gordon owners.
Yeah, because that would work out super great for the patriots if Gordon prove to be the knucklehead he’s been his entire career & got released in 2 weeeks or relapsed.Fixed
It's divided even among people with no skin in the game. Some people have a different view of addiction than others or hate that someone who has been a non-enitity for years is the most ballyhooed acquisition one can make in pro football or fantasy football, provided one isn't risk-averse. His very situation and people's reaction to it tends to drive people nuts in one way or another, including his "owners" in the fantasy football world.Yep. Gordon owners and Non Gordon owners.
Rapoport covered the Patriots as a beat guy for 3-4 years. IMO, that gives his story a little more credence than if it were a team he didn't cover all that much.Just so people know.

420. Low hanging fruitWas it 4 or 430 that this apparently had to be done by?
