Reeks of desperation.  Quite the contrast in culture between the Chiefs and Bills.  I like ours.

I like winning. Last I checked the Bills haven't been close to beating the Chiefs and they have a SuperBowl win. Their culture must be working.

You pick up this POS and SmokeY Brown is still a free agent?  GTF outta here, Chefs.

No, but Sammy was a bigger part than Gabbert. And to my point, doesnt need to be an All-Pro consistent player in order to contribute to them winning. Watkins did ok in KC, and had a couple break out games himself, where he starred as the 3rd or 4th option.

 

I could see Gordon fill that same role. And while I'm not scared of him, would really hate to see him have even his one break out game against us (or at any time for the Chiefs).

Fine but you’re using a straw man argument.  That wasn’t his original point.  
 

What can Gordon in 2021 do that Hardman can’t?

Good guess. I would bet the under at 6 games

[muppy]

I'm not shocked. The NFL will scrape off the bottom of the barrel if they think a guy can play (Micharl Vick) prime example

 

I don't begrudge this man a living I pray he is straight and off the drugs now. As far has his career he's an opponent and will get no mercy from me #enemy haha

This is a very good point. You'd think John Brown would be a great fit there.

Is this where we talk about that one good  GREAT season he had 8 years ago … 

 

FIFY

 

Second most receiving yards produced per game (117.6) in a non-strike shortened season since the NFL merger.

Picked a great team to join,  maybe he can bond with Reid's boy.

Not really a strawman considering it's my post and point that first started being quoted. I was clarifying and reiterating my original point.

 

As for Hardman... right, exactly. I dont expect him to beat out Hardman for a starting spot. I expect Gordon to be in the wings, for when a team does successfully neutralize Hill and Kelce and Hardman. Just like Byron Pringle (who?!?) had 2/63 and 1 TD against Baltimore, that's the role Gordon steps in. I assume he can do as well, if not better than Byron Pringle. Or a Daurice Fountain.

 

It's not a great thing when a team like KC adds to their depth.

 

Folks can scoff at Gordon, and rightfully so, it's probably a safe bet that he'll do nothing. But I'd rather see him elsewhere. Like back in Seattle.

Nice to see another high character guy signing with the Chiefs.

These guys love their low character guys. Is there a team with more guys with criminal records or substance abuse/suspension histories? 

[buffalo2218]

This is a baffling signing to me. KCs biggest issue is their defense, at least right now. And for all the talk about Allen playing uncharacteristally, Mahomes looked like a rookie yesterday and to me, signing Gordon won't help with that. Unless KC lost a receiver no one knows about?

[JohnBonhamRocks]

If I were a KC landlord, I would not consider him a good bet to be a long-term tenant.

 

BUT as slim a chance as it is that he is available and good for KC this year, stranger things have happened. Different situations, but personally did not think I’d ever see Antonio Brown play again…

6 TDs in the last 7 years.  I would of thought that KC would be looking for help on the D.

It's a puzzlement.

 

Offense is the best defense 😁😁

Wow, didnt know Brown was out. He was solid for us.

 

 

[billsherd]

They will probably use him to make couple of key plays in a game or two, that is if he can stay clean and out of trouble.  They are taking a flyer with a bug upside, you never know when injuries come up.

Believe it or don't, John Brown was not picked up after requesting his release from the Raiders (Gruden actually had him behind Zay ***** Jones).  He's still a free agent, just waiting for some lucky team to grab him.  The Jest should be all over him, but they're too stupid.  Then I see that the Chefs are giving this POS Gordon yet another chance.  Makes me wonder if John Brown is getting blackballed, or maybe asking for too much money.  Why would anyone in their right mind sign Gordon before SmokeY?  I just can't get my head wrapped around the absurdity.

Lol, so to make it interesting who wants to put money down to see how fast he ends up back on the Commissioners exempt list?

Probably he’s asking for too much money. He had a down season last year due to injuries and was not playing well when healthy.

He played 9 games, caught 33 for 458 (13.9 avg, on a team with 2 1000 yd receivers and Gabe Davis), 3 TD's and 22 first downs.  There are not 192 (32 * 6) receivers in the NFL that are better than John Brown.  I'm stunned he hasn't been picked up by the Jets or Jags, who could use a reliable receiver for their rookie QB's. 

[without a drought]

I thought he would sign with the Bills just so he could play his home games at Highmark Stadium.

[FilthyBeast]

This move seems a bit desperate on the surface because I'm really not sure what Gordon even has to offer at this point than just a 'name'.

 

I think the bigger issue with the Chiefs is their defense right now which I did not expect to be this bad but maybe they just need some time to find their groove similar to some of the Pats defenses in years past that seemed to be sieves early in the season but then became dominant by Nov/Dec.

[gobills404]

Good thing we won't have to worry about him. He won't be up to speed yet come week 5 and he'll be suspended again before the playoffs.

[Shaw66]

I won't like it one bit if he becomes a factor in their offense.  On the other hand, if in three months that guy can make himself back into a big-time receiver, as Antonio Brown did to some extent, it will be one of the great personal comeback stories of all time.
