The Pats are taking on WRs the Browns don't want anymore, and one that the Bills got rid of pretty quick. Also, I'm not saying that Brady can't adjust to differnet WR styles (I'm sure he can) but it seems the Pats offense is predicated on WR's that do not pay the game Gordon does. They live on short slants, hitches, and the WR's knowing exactly what to do and being on the same page as Brady. Cooks last year was a big time WR, downfield threat and the Pats didn't want him after just one year anymore. Cooks was NOT getting paid by the Pats so a 1st for him was the best they could hope for. Also Brady has had many crappy receivers look good, like Bug eyes Caldwell, and Brady also worked well with Randy Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I wonder what made Cleveland all of a sudden decide to part ways with him? Seems like odd timing to me. They just decided after week #1 that it was time to part ways? Hopefully they caught wind of another "random" test Edited September 17, 2018 by TheFunPolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 !@#$ we didn't offer the Browns at least a 5th for Josh? I guess Mr Beane is satisfied with Kelvin, 2 rookies, Holmes at WR. !@#$ CB, WR, and Oline. Our Front Office has been ignoring these for years THE FACT JOSH IS A PATRIOT FOR A 5TH- SAME OLD BILLS, SAME OLD PATS We will send a 7th for Corey Coleman, but not a 5th for Josh- WTF??

But these two teams are in very different places. The Pats don’t care about the future. They don’t care about draft picks. They are ready to win another SB now and have a very tight window to do so. Brady is 41. The Bills are completely looking to the future. They aren’t trading draft picks for a guy with one foot out of the league, and a very low chance of succeeding with a rookie Qb as has been proven for years. Any WR they pick up now should be on a multi-year deal and not a clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Patriots are also the masters of getting a pick back on a trade. They even covered the downside if hes not active for 10 games they get a 7th from Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 After what Vontae just did, do you really think that McDermott would want to bring in Josh Gordon? No question the guy is supremely talented, but who knows if you can count on him for a game let alone a season. A perennial playoff/SuperBowl team, with a hard-nosed coach, a great QB, and tons of leadership (aka the Patriots) might be able to get something out of Josh and keep him in line long enough for him to help them. But the current Bills are still trying to find their way. They have a lot of young guys playing important roles, etc. They don't need any more distractions than what they are currently dealing with. One WR was not going to turn this team around this year...the only thing that will make this a winning season is the same thing as last year, character, leadership, not giving up, playing as a team, coaching. We don't have enough talent to just outplay other teams (at least the better teams in the league) right now and Gordon would not have put us over the top talent-wise, so why risk the headache. Especially knowing that it would most likely be just a 14-game rental as we have lots of picks and money to get WRs next year (and I just don't see Josh holding it together for two or more consecutive seasons). This wasn't a case of him doing some things to force his way out of Cleveland, all of the issues were just who he is, what he is dealing with. I wish the guy luck in his life (not necessarily with the Patriots). But it is obvious to me (and a good decision) why the Bills wouldn't be interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I also think we should have gone after Gordon. However I wouldn't give up a 5th for just this year. I would need convincing that he'd want to and that I'd (as GM) want him beyond this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
