Russell Wilson wanted Josh Gordon to come play with the Seahawks. If he didn’t, Gordon would not have been picked up by Seattle, but he was. On Friday, Seattle grabbed Gordon off of waivers after he was released by the New England Patriots.
Picking up Gordon brings a large amount of risk and Gordon has been suspended numerous times during his career. He missed all of 2015 and 2016 and hasn’t played a full season since his rookie year of 2012. Some of that is injuries but mostly it was because Gordon struggled with drugs.
