Josh Gordon Released

Steelers are 11th in the waiver claim order.

AB getting released to go to NE and Josh Gordon getting released to go to Pittsburgh would be an amazing full circle story.

Oh yeah. The steelers want in on that action.

Not.

I'd really like to know how many NFL players smoke de herb all the time. Even benny snell football doesn't care, and he's a rookie.

Nah. The comments by the OP say absolutely not.

If he's legit clean and clear for the NFL, I'd totally advocate going after him and release switzer. But I'd like to know why the pats released him in the first place. Ice cream man would come back in a soft serve second if called.

Ryan Switzer having a role on this team is a microcosm of what ills a Mike Tomlin “coached” team.

Signing Gordon and releasing a Moncrief is a boss move, because it nets you a better #3/4 WR for now, and nets you TWO draft picks... a 2020 3rd and a 2021 mid round comp pick, minimum.

This. What’s the point of Moncrief being on the roster if he’s essentially a bookmark? They need to jettison him if they aren’t going to incorporate him into the offense. I’m kind of at a loss about the personnel decisions of the coaching staff. News flash; Ben ain’t coming back this year, so make some bold moves and see if you can get in as a Wildcard since the AFC is wide open.

Did not think about the second part.

Assuming he checks out okay, it's a no brainier.

Tom Curran of NBCSportsBoston.com said this morning on PFT Live that there were rumblings in New England about the team having problems with Gordon being late to meetings, coaches having a hard time locating him, and generally Gordon not displaying the kind of work ethic that Bill Belichick demands.

“He was showing signs of undependability,” Curran said of Gordon.

That's gonna drive up his value. . . :lol:

Claimed by Seahawks

DJ Metcalf
Josh Gordon
Tyler Lockett

That's a pretty nice group for a team with a great QB.

I don’t think Gordon is healthy. Doesn’t surprise me the moron here in Seattle took a flyer on him.

Passed his physical yesterday, on Tuesday was clocked at 22mph on a treadmill. If he's injured, it's not that serious. Patriots would not have been able to cut him.

Every Masshole I’ve read on reddit have said that he’s sucked for the last year and a half. I dunno. I think there is something there but 28 (?) teams passed on him on the waiver wire?

I would have been fine with the Steelers taking a chance on him, but honestly, if we can’t even get the ball to a guy that has started all 7 games, what in the fuck are we going to do with Josh Gordon?
