The Seahawks move this week to claim Josh Gordon speaks to how intently the team is still trying to improve its receiving corps, especially in the wake of the 49ers’ trade for Emmanuel Sanders.
Seattle’s efforts to beef up the weapons around quarterback Russell Wilson included continuing to monitor the situation with free agent Antonio Brown, according to a report Sunday from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Brown is currently a free agent after being released by the Patriots in September in the wake of accusations of sexual assault.
Interestingly coach Pete Carroll had said after the Patriots released Brown that the Seahawks were no longer interested in him after having acknowledged that the Seahawks were interested in Brown when he was initially released by the Raiders.
