The New England Patriots acquired Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon in a trade Monday afternoon, sending a conditional 2019 fifth round pick to Cleveland. If Gordon is active less than ten games, the Browns will send back a seventh round pick, and if Gordon is active ten or more games, the deal stands as is.
The San Francisco 49ers called the Browns about Gordon, according to general manager John Lynch. Both Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan talked about doing due diligence whenever a potentially quality player is available.
