IF there isn't a pending suspension and he clears waivers, I think there is a chance he lands on the Niners. He can fill the Hurd roll for this year and we sure could use depth at WR. His familiarity with Shanahan, our previous trade interest in him, the current winning season, positive team atmosphere, as well as a chance to play the pats in the Super bowl...he might be salivating at joining this squad.

He'll go through waivers

Who would you cut to sign Gordon? We'd have to cut an existing player (no way we keep 7 on the roster) and not bring Taylor/Hurd back from IR.

- Sanders? Hard no. We just got him.
- Goodwin? Maybe he'd go to IR/Exempt List if needs an extended absence.
- James? Nope, he's our PR/KR guy and provides value in the passing game.
- Pettis? Maybe, but I don't think Shanahan and Lynch give up on him this season.
- Samuel? Nope, rookie that continues to make an impact.
- Bourne? Maybe, but he does play a material amount on the ST unit.

Unless there's an injury tonight, or the 49ers know Goodwin needs to leave this season, I don't see Gordon joining this team.

AND SEATTLE HAS HIM! WOW

How the f**k is it always Seattle? None of these s**tty teams wanted to claim him?

Matter of time before he test positive or goes on IR

why did NE release him?

Reportedly, he was lazy, late for meetings and generally did all the things that would irritate someone like Belichick. I doubt Seattle will care.

And it appeared his approach to things on a day-to-day basis was off-putting to the Patriots. Here's what NBC Sports Boston's Tom E. Curran had to say about the Gordon situation during an appearance Friday on "PFT Live." "His ability to get to things — look and this is a murmur and rumblings and everything else, and I want the kid to do great, I think we all do as an individual because he's working hard at it.

But I think the team had some trepidation once he wasn't as prompt and punctual as he had been in the past. As his period of time when he was injured went on, there were occasions where he was late to meetings I understand. There were occasions they had a hard time locating him. So that in-dependability, coupled with the fact that he wasn't extremely productive really when he was in there. They had N'Keal Harry coming back, they had just acquired Mohamed Sanu, and I think there was trepidation about, 'OK, well if we're looking at this again, do we want to rely on him?' I think he had a very short rope that he was dealing with.

"So, again, that is basically the scuttlebutt here, no one's gone on the record necessarily and said 'Josh missed meeting X, Y and Z, or was late to X, Y, and Z, and that's why it happened.' But all of us with our kind of our underground sources, and this is from the radio folks who are well-plugged into the team, to other folks on the beat, have all kind of gotten the indication yeah he was yeah showing signs of un-dependability."

Agree

Suspended indefinitely. Lols at the number of times fans wanted so badly for us to bring him in.
