The #Patriots are getting close on a deal for #Browns WR Josh Gordon, source said. Not official yet but headed that way.
And no one is surprised

well I am VERY surprised....

...because this guy is a ticking time bomb.

But he may be the most talented WR in the league.
good god

now watch him get clean and put up Randy Moss numbers
I would have traded

for him too. but you need strong coaches (personality) and a strong culture to bring in someone risky like Gordon. Patriots winning has withstood a lot worse than Gordon.

I don't know if the Giants have that (but with their OL, not sure having 5 Beckhams at WR would make a difference).
Pats can afford  
ryanmkeane : 9/17/2018 3:05 pm : link
to swing and miss here. Giants (and a lot of other teams) really can't.
Pats are desperate

at WR. Gordon isn't a known commodity anymore. It has been too long since he played a close to full season and his issues far outweigh his talent.
Patriots are the best run organization in the league

This doesn't surprise me. Gordon will flourish
& he'll become a model citizen

overnight.
I'll set the over under at 3 weeks  
arniefez : 9/17/2018 3:14 pm : link
and take the under. I'm shocked he's not going to Dallas. Probably the next stop.
Not surprising

Pats usually buy low on talent with a checkered past to see if they will fit into their system and fall in line. Sometimes they hit a home run like Randy Moss. Other times they get nothing such as Albert Haynesworth and just dump them.
Th difference here is that if it doesn’t work out  
UConn4523 : 9/17/2018 3:31 pm : link
it won’t come with any team repercussions. It will be business as usual as that culture is pretty much impenetrable. Most teams don’t work that way.

"Give us four months and we will win this all. And then I will take you out after the Super Bowl on the greatest bender of your life."
I'm actually kind of surprised  
jcn56 : 9/17/2018 3:58 pm : link
only because of how long it's been since Gordon has contributed to a team. It seems like the other problem children BB has taken on in the past were on more solid ground.
Amazing what one loss can do for motivating that team

Competitive isn’t the word
But they will still

get their butts whipped by Jacksonville in the playoffs....
Pats giving up a 5
