Josh Gordon

Sadly, the chances of Josh Gordon becoming an elite wide receiver in the NFL has sailed long ago. However, that doesn’t mean that the troubled wideout can’t be a complementary piece for an NFL offense as he enters the latter portion of his career. Of course, when it comes to Gordon, you are aware of the risk you take in signing him. With that being said, he could be worth the risk given his cheap price on the open market.

Nearly a month ago, Gordon filed for reinstatement to the NFL after being suspended indefinitely by the league near the end of the 2019 season. The new CBA that was agreed to by the NFL and NFLPA could allow Gordon to have a favorable chance to remain in the NFL now. The once-promising wide receiver would accumulate 27 receptions for 426 yards and one touchdown with the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks in 2019.

Despite having an extremely limited role with the Seahawks, Gordon would produce an aDOT of 17.9 yards in his short stay in Seattle. Even though he isn’t the same lethal downfield threat he was earlier in his career, Gordon could provide the Packers with a viable deep option in the passing attack.
