Kelly the Dog Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Gordon is not a bad guy or cancer or thug or dumb at all. In fact his teammates liked him. He’s a very thoughtful intelligent guy. He may not be the threat he was but I think he’s an upgrade. I would work him out for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 All this speculation is for naught. If he goes on waivers chances are he doesn't get to us. The Patriots are expected to waive Gordon off injured reserve once he’s cleared, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL, allowing Gordon to play with another team this season. If they waive him after Tuesday’s trade deadline, Gordon would be subject to waivers. That would improve New England’s chances of keeping Gordon away from an AFC competitor with the worst teams getting the first shots at waiver claims. 24 minutes ago, BILLSCRAZY3024 said: Personally I’d rather look into stealing AJ Green.

Not only does he have knowledge of the Patriots playbook, arguably our biggest competition this season, he's a phenomenal player when healthy. Him opposite John Brown would be killer. and New England who are short wide outs ...are releasing him. They dion't let too many go that can still play, or how about any. His terrific player when healthy days are getting to be further and further back. Buyer beware 2 hours ago, Sundancer said: Pats have sanu now with Harry set to return off Ir.

Matt_In_NH Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Over the last 5 years he has averaged like 20 catches, 300 yards and a TD. He cannot make it with the Patriots/Brady. I get it, he is talented (or at one time he was.) but he cannot be trusted to live up to it. I don't think we want this team to take this guy on, I don't see why. Even if he were to work out, the chances of a relapse are sky high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 quick question, can you trade for a guy who is on someone else's IR?

If not that, then there's hints of personal problems again. Either way, that doesn't make me very eager to see him in a Bills uniform. I'm thinking Belichick didn't like that he couldn't, or wouldn't, play through bruises. If there are no personal problems to be found, I think the Bills should at least bring him in for an interview.

starrymessenger Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Doubt that he will be available to us but if he is and if he's healthy and clean the Bills would be fools to pass on the opportunity IMO. He's 28 years old and still amongst the most talented of receivers (AJ is 32 and is injured). He's big, he's fast, has a wide catch radius and great hands. Last year he was on track for another 1000 yard season, or close to, before injury. Pats had a second round tender on him coming into this year. Again assuming he's healthy and has been a good citizen I'd be all over it in a heartbeat if we have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbfla10 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The Bills should look into adding Gordon, and Dion Jordan once hes available. Could be two key contributors for the stretch run, and the Bills wouldn't have to give up any draft picks. Low risk with a high reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpleman Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I doubt the Pats will let him go before deadline, but if they do, it would be downright idiotic to not kick the tires and make a shot on offering a short term prove it deal with seriously generous performance incentives for him. If he can earn it on the field, he will deserve it. If he doesn't perform or has issues that cause him to be sanctioned by the NFL, there would be no major loss to the Bills. High Rewards/Low Risk potential to the team. And no draft picks at risk. We have plenty of cash and cap to offer a very generous performance based incentive rest of season deal.

DCofNC Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Lets get real here, he's not goingnto be released until after the trade deadline so he has to clear waivers, they aren't dumb enough to let him go now so he can sign some where that might hurt them. Nothing to lose by holding him a week. 1 hour ago, DrDawkinstein said: Yes, I want him. No, he wont make it to us through waivers. But just because a team tries to sign him through waivers, does that mean he MUST sign with them? Cant he decide where he plays through contract negotiation? Waive claim means you takenover his current contract. He's a FA next year, so he can do what he wants then, but for now, whoever claims him, keeps his rights for the year. If there's that much interest in him, maybe the Pats will trade him. We sent Bodine to them, maybe there is an outside chance they would entertain an offer for him. If so I'd make a move for a 4th or so to get him befire he gets claimed, but I have a feeling im not the only guy that thinks that and the other 16 are GMs in the NFC.
