7 years he scored 6 times and never got close to 800 yds. I doubt the Seahawks use him for anything more than insurance. They already have 2 solid WR's. He was not going to help us.

That Metcalf is a monster in the making

Yeah he is, I wish we could've got a chance at drafting him. He is making his dad proud.

No need to bring him in and add more stress to the locker room. Apparently we don't need the distraction.

I think the Pats prime motivation for letting Gordon go was to see what the rookie Harry can do before long. Probably the smart move for them.

Word is through rumors that Gordon was lazy and had work ethic issues... Over there they don't tolerate that crap, Bill B will send them packing.

I've said it before, I wish Gordon all the best and that he can get rid of his addiction issues. However I'm pretty happy about him not being a Saint. After some rocky years with Galette and other trash people it took a bunch of years to rebuild a locker room that seems to be super strong. No reason to bring in a guy with a history like Gordon.

Y'all are dumb if you think Sean Payton would go for Gordon. No way in hell. We don't need, nor want his baggage he carries.

And yet Payton signed an undrafted rookie free agent who'd plea'd down charges to sexual battery, and later saw his plea agreement rejected by the presiding judge and ordered away in handcuffs to serve 6 months...

Also the Saints receiving corps is basically @CantGuardMike; a number of guys who're injured, just not stepping up haven't relieved the double/triple teams with the exception of RB Kamara and TE Josh Hill...

Gordon is a well-documented, uber-talented, problem-child wide receiver, so the situation was fluid, but, by no means, was it a slam-dunk he wasn't given serious discussion in the Saints offices...

But I would've bet money (no I wouldn't bet on Payton's thought process) that he's never sign someone with Granderson's baggage, and yet here he is...
