New York Jets: Top 3 reasons why passing on Josh Gordon was a mistake

The New York Jets are reeling at 1-6. With the playoffs out of sight, injuries piling up, a lot of fans are in their feelings without much to look forward to.

Although there could’ve been something to look forward to on Friday evening: the Josh Gordon waiver wire sweepstakes.

The New England Patriots gambled on the superstar talent in September of 2018. The team traded a fifth-round pick for Gordon and a seventh-round pick from the Cleveland Browns. A low risk for a potentially high reward based on his talent.

In his 17 game Patriots career, he caught 60 receptions for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns.
