Potential Landing Spots for Josh Gordon

AUTHOR- PETER DIPAOLA

On Saturday the Cleveland Browns announced that they were going to part ways with wide receiver Josh Gordon. Josh, when on the field, is a talented play maker, and he could find a good market for himself once he is released, or if he gets traded. Here are some potential landing spots for Josh Gordon.

DALLAS COWBOYS

Dallas could use a talent such as Josh Gordon to help bolster their receiving corp, it could help improve their rushing attack as it would give opposing defenses a receiver to worry about. Dallas has not been able to find a replacement for their former number one receiver Dez Bryant since they cut him.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

With Julian Edelman suspended for the first four weeks, the Patriots would make sense, even after Edelman comes back as well. It would give New England a deep threat, and Gordon would be part of an organization that has high expectations from their players, which could help Gordon continue to grow and improve.

BUFFALO BILLS

The Bills drafted quarterback Josh Allen in the first round of this years draft, getting a young quarterback a receiver with the ability that Josh Gordon has is always a plus. Buffalo has plenty of holes to file, and if they could land Josh Gordon, it would help the Bills continue to improve by acquiring talent.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Josh would be part of a receiving group that has Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin, giving the 49ers a unique receiving corp. Their division rival Los Angeles Rams have a very talented offense and defense, if the 49ers want to compete with them and aim for the division title, it would benefit them to sign Josh Gordon.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Seattle could use some help at this position, Doug Baldwin is banged up and it would give Russell Wilson a new threat. They also have Brandon Marshall who has had his own issues in the past, and he could be a mentor to Josh Gordon.

HONORABLE MENTIONS 

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS- Andrew Luck would have Josh Gordon and T.Y. Hilton as his receivers, giving him a interesting receiving duo.

NEW YORK JETS- Quarterback Sam Darnold could use another weapon to work with in his rookie season and beyond.
