Josh Gordon
#1
Alright, I have to start the "Should the Vikings reach out to Josh Gordon?" conversation. I think it would be worth exploring for this year. Structure a contract that is all performance based and would most likely be relatively cheap. I personally think it's worth exploring

Nah. I think the Vikings are good with what they have currently. Talented for sure, but odds are heavy he'll get suspended again. Can't rely on him. Look for him to head to Tampa when he gets reinstated.

If he gets suspended, then he gets suspended. I would think the only contract he would get is strictly performance based. I dont recall seeing an article saying hes a distraction for teammates so a contract of $900K would be worth the risk if he can be that large target the Vikings need.

5 suspensions in 8 years, I mean....lol.....his best season, BY FAR, was 7 years ago. I get taking a swing at a talented guy like Gordon, but these suspensions he's had is unprecedented in the NFL. I just don't see it happening.

Is Gordon talented anymore?  Everyone always assumes he'll step back into the greatness that he once had but will he?
I mean Matt Kalil had a probowl season the last time Gordon was even relevant thats how long its been.

In 16 games played for NE he had roughly 1000 yards. Obviously he's not what he was in his first two seasons, but i would look into a guy that can produce those types of numbers if the contract is structured well. I mean, he's probably a little better than that Laquon guy :-)

and where was he when NE needed him?  Pretty telling when NE moves on from a WR.

We've already got 2 rookies (Jefferson and Osborne) and a FA (Sharpe) new to the WR group.  Getting them up to speed will be hard enough without lobbing in human hand grenade (or is it smoke bomb?) Josh Gordon.
