After struggling to move the ball in a Sunday loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the New England Patriots have rolled the dice and traded for troubled, gifted wide receiver Josh Gordon.
Gordon exploded in 2013 for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns on 87 catches for the Cleveland Browns, but has only played 11 games since while serving multiple suspensions for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He did not play in the Browns’ first two games this season.

The Patriots are in dire need of a playmaker with Julian Edelman suspended and having parted ways with Brandin Cooks and Dion Lewis in the offseason.
