Former All-Pro WR Josh Gordon, who is being reinstated, is planning to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs, sources tell ESPN. His agents, Eric Dounn and Matt Leist from @LAASportsEnt, confirmed Gordon is headed to Kansas City. pic.twitter.com/nqpJXn3oni
After practicing against him for 1 day, Tyrann Mathieu had an interesting comparison for WR Josh Gordon. "He kind of reminds me of Calvin Johnson, just the way he's built . . . From what I've seen, he's a helluva football player.''

Big, athletic guy who was among the NFL's best at the WR position in terms of running after the catch and bowling over weak arm-tackling DBs (and even some LBs)?
Yeah. Ya'll would be the Randy Marsh meme.
Bowe was a really fun player and would absolutely have filled a need we're missing right now on offense.
This is, by far, the most interesting reclamation projection of the Veach era...Suggs was old but still useful in small doses. Bell was a product of the Steelers system...he's never produced anything since leaving. McCoy was declining and ball security kind of neutralized his impact.
Gordon's situation was never about talent, age or contract deputes...it was just self-inflicted ostracization and reliability. He also plays a position that the best QB in the world can directly utilize schematically. He put up crazy numbers without a PMII, Hill and Kelce....and Reid inventing plays for him.
This could be something...barring any off-field set-backs, he can easily be 1000 yard WR. It also royally ****s up what teams are currently doing to defend this offense...
I was kind of looking at his career...he's played 33 games since his 1650 yard year...so essentially only two full seasons and 110 receptions. That's pretty crazy...
Also, his 1650 year was over 14 games...he would have had almost 1900 yards over 16....going by YPG average. That would have put him 2nd all-time behind Megatron....it still netted him 15th in history. [Reply]
