I even posted about a rumor of a possibility of AJ Green.

Based on what I know (and it isn't much) is that once Gordon makes it out of IR (2 weeks) he is not subject to waiver and then getting snagged by a lower record team.

Would it not make sense for him to go somewhere that he could make the Patriots regret not keeping him around? Wouldn't it make sense for us to sign him for the year and see how it works out if he is indeed healthy?

Actually, it's the other way around. The Patriots are purposely waiting until AFTER the trade deadline so Gordon WOULD be subject to waivers. If they released him earlier he would be a free agent and available to the highest bidder. Belichick is making sure he doesn't go to a team that would be a post-season threat. Extremely smart move. Nobody plays the system better than New England.
