Yeah, and if the Lions were interested they’d have flipped a 2021 7th for him instead of giving other teams a crack at him first. They were surely on the phone with Bill at some point prior to the trade deadline…
Gordon was placed on injured reserve by the Patriots with a special designation known as minor injury designation. In accordance with NFL rules, teams may place a player on injured reserve with a minor injury designation, but the team must release the player once he is healthy. This applies to any player; veterans included. His release occurred after the trade deadline. From the trading deadline through the end of the regular season, vested veterans are subject to the waiver process.
Its tough for me to think of many wastes of talent as big as Josh Gordon in professional sports. Its one thing to see a kids athletic potential in a general sense and think “if he could ever take the game seriously.” But Josh wasn’t just athletic potential with a ??? On what he could do on the field. He was elite on the playing field. The kid is LeBron James, but with personal issues he can’t overcome.
Mike Mayock is the Raiders general manager no, not Todd McShay I’m confident you knew that but if you’re like me senility occasionally rears its ugly head. LOL
