Well, he's a head case, but I suppose if I we can get a good year out of him, he could be a difference maker.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

LETS ****ING GO!!!!!

Finally a big body WR. D Rob can take his -4 YAC and GTFO

[whats good]

KC Panicking.

[Red Dawg]

What? They did this? Man, they really must think it's bad.

[Hammock Parties]

Ugh. I have a bad feeling about this.

[louie aguiar]

Will he stay well behaved? If so, he’s a great talent

[BryanBusby]

Good!

Excuse me….what? LMAO

Why would you not sign him? Robinson, Pringle and Kemp offer NOTHING and Hardman has only been a gadget player

Exactly. No risk at all. Worst case scenario, we cut him. Best case, we have a legit WR2.

Hard to believe he's only 30.

I hope. That would be nice.

He will be our chain mover. Good hands.

Ironic that Pete Carroll is your avatar, since the consensus was Seattle wanted him back, and he wanted to stay with Seattle.

Im surprised. Let's hope he can keep it together

[DaFace]

Well, it's a coin flip whether he'll make it through the season without a relapse, and he might be a locker room cancer.

But yeah, aside from that, we could use his talent.

[carcosa]

Let's fucking GOOOOOOOO

[siberian khatru]

I'm far less concerned about his choice of substances than I am that he's still worth a shit.

[The Franchise]

I could be wrong but I don’t think he’s ever been referred to as a cancer. Just someone who couldn’t stop being an idiot off the field.

LOL

I remember big bill pulling out of your dad after he broke his butthole clean in half and whispering “you’ve got aids” in his ear in the same tone as the aol alert.

[ModSocks]

If the Chiefs are in on it, im in on it.

Anything i may have said prior to this signing is void as per my Chiefsplanet contractural terms.

[Chiefspants]

If he has the impact Antonio Brown had on TB it's going to be massive for our offense where a solid #2 could have prevented the Kemp INT or the Pringle drop that ended up sealing our fate yesterday.

If the D is at 2018 status, then Patrick needs all the weapons possible to have the offense at 100%.

At worst, he gives pressure to Hardman, Pringle, or whoever to be a legitimate NFL receiver. If he's a locker room cancer, I don't think Andy will hesitate to sever him from the locker room ASAP (Kelvin Benjamin style)

[Sassy Squatch]

LMAO Panic move? The fuck? In terms of risk/reward this is a no brainer.

[Dunerdr]

Plot twist. He's had the playbook all offseason smoking doobs and learning his role.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Over/under for games he makes a difference in before getting suspended:

1.5

[Rainbarrel]

Bye to someone, someone somewhere cares about.

[rabblerouser]

BACK TO THE SHIP.

At least it's effort. I hope he gets on the field for the Bills game and can get a few first downs.

They don't test for weed anymore. He'll be on the field more than Frank Clark

[Ming the Merciless]

to the shippppp!!!!


can he play linebacker and blitz from the S position???

[siberian khatru]

At least we didn't give up any draft capital for him.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

This reminds me of the Kelvin Benjamin move a few years ago

[smithandrew051]

I don’t see what’s not to like about this. We could use a player just like this and the risk is minimal. High upside. If he sucks or gets in trouble, just cut him.

[Kman34]

I will be glad if this works out but the last time I saw him play he couldn’t get open.. Maybe he was high???

[siberian khatru]

Gotta be Kemp

Dave Toub will fight you

[TLO]

Really?? Holy shit... LMAO

[Hammock Parties]

We're averaging over 30 PPG.

Bring in defense.

[TribalElder]

I don't even think the NFL tests for weed anymore so that's not a concern

I thought the knock on this guy was that he was consistently late to meetings and brought minimal effort.

Man, I'll smoke to that.

[493rd]

There’s no reason to believe this will work out. The Chiefs obviously now realize the limitations of the offense when Hill is doubled and 15 only really has Kelce as an option with virtually no running game.

[KC_Connection]

Great signing until he tests positive again. Will alleviate some pressure on Kelce and Hill. No reason not to do it.

[OnTheWarpath15]

We could use a player just like this

30 years old and hasn't played in two years?

[Red Dawg]

Gordon at least fits the physical WR type I have been bitching about for 2 years. He can still catch a ball even with a DB next to him. Hill, Hardman, Pringle and Robinson can't win the size battle to do that. Only guy we have that gets the ball all the time that can is Travis.

[DJ's left nut]

Same thing I said in the first Gordon thread - this guy was as close to the league has to Julio Jones when his head was screwed on right.

He's not a bad guy - he was just a drunk. And if he's reinstated, evidently he's convinced enough people that he's past that. And if so, if there's any gas in the tank at all, he can offer something we don't have.

His teammates all seem to want him to succeed. His talent was so undeniable that even a decline (hell, a significant decline) would still be a genuine NFL caliber player. And he's like 18 months older than Pringle is.

I feel like Kemp and/or Pringle did some damage to their standing last week. And if the Chiefs think Gordon can make a contribution, they're smart to take the (extremely minimal) risk.

[Dunerdr]

There’s no reason to believe this will work out. The Chiefs obviously now realize the limitations of the offense when Hill is doubled and 15 only really has Kelce as an option with virtually no running game.

Then why did you list reasons that it should work out? Hill and Kelce take the coverage, and this guy gets balls.

Me before Gordon signed with the Chiefs: I mean he hasn’t actually played well in years, there’s no way he makes much of an impact

Tells me they have seen enough of our project WR's that just are not getting open enough to bet man coverage.

Gonna be some new larger WR's in next year. FA and draft picks.

Gordon who hasn’t played for two years is still better than Pringle, Robinson and Kemp.

Andy has a long history of reclamation projects.

Makes sense I guess.

[ChiefAshhole1056]

I love how Veach operates. No-risk signing, the very least he’s a decoy with a big enough body that he should provide some blocking capabilities. Give him a couple weeks to learn enough of the responsibilities to get some snaps. This offense needs the physical presence his type of WR provides.

[DaKCMan AP]

This reminds me of the Kelvin Benjamin move a few years ago

This is just like that, except Benjamin was fat, lazy, never all-pro,and never productive after a torn ACL.

Shut up Debbie

Listen, I want the dude to succeed. I've mentioned multiple times my concerns about the lack of a true WR2 in this offense.

But it's pretty unrealistic to expect anything from him.

With that said, he's probably being paid nothing and has no guarantees in the contract - so it's worth the dart throw for sure.

My dude said basically everything I was going to say...

Dude is an addict. That takes a toll on you, but plenty of people with addiction have gotten a handle on it and made things work.

The comparison that comes to mind for me is a baseball one - Josh Hamilton. Before the addiction, truly uniquely gifted athlete. After the addiction, even at 80 percent of his physical abilities, still a great player.

Gordon was so freakishly athletic that even if he is only 80 percent of what he was before, he still can be a really effective player.

And FTR, I was always in the camp of:

Bring him in. Can't hurt. Cut him if he's washed or a distraction.

No real downside.

[TwistedChief]

No downside.

Only upside.

How is it desperation to sign someone like him? Did we trade some pick for him? Did we give anything up?

I’m pretty sure we’d be signing him regardless of whether we were 3-0 or 1-2. He has the potential to make us better than Fountain (or Kemp). End of story.

[BigRedChief]

it’s all upside and no downside. He has no leverage. But, still couldn’t land in a better place for him
Personally.

He was freakishly athletic. He’s still relatively young. It’s a no brainer for him. If he’s clean, in shape….. Mahomes and him could be outstanding.

If he drugs up again, he’s gone without any financial risk. I trust Mahomes, Kelce and the honey Badger to rein him in if he steps out of bounds in the locker room. If they report issues, he’ll be gone.

[Boxer_Chief]

He's 1yr older than Darren Waller.

Also 3 years younger than Antonino Brown and 2 years younger than Julio. It’s a great upside chance.

ok ....this signing is just a kick the tires signing this isn't 2013. the guy used to have speed and be able to cut out of his breaks like a much smaller receiver. He lost that after his 2nd reinstatement with Cleveland.

the last time anyone seen him he looked about 235. unless he his sub 220 i wouldn't get any hopes for him.

[BigChiefTN]

LMAO Panic move? The ****? In terms of risk/reward this is a no brainer.

Spot on! There is nothing but potential with this move. I dont see it as desperation, I see it as being opportunistic. In the past we would lose out on opportunities like this because they wanted to play with Brady or Manning…. It’s not like there are any potentially good defenders that are being released from suspension that we could grab instead…

I’m pretty sure we’d be signing him regardless of whether we were 3-0 or 1-2. He has the potential to make us better than Fountain (or Kemp). End of story.

Agreed! And in the past we wouldnt have even had a shot with players like this because they wanted to go play with someone like Brady…

He’s going to the practice squad first.

Same thing I said in the first Gordon thread - this guy was as close to the league has to Julio Jones when his head was screwed on right.

He's not a bad guy - he was just a drunk. And if he's reinstated, evidently he's convinced enough people that he's past that. And if so, if there's any gas in the tank at all, he can offer something we don't have.

His teammates all seem to want him to succeed. His talent was so undeniable that even a decline (hell, a significant decline) would still be a genuine NFL caliber player. And he's like 18 months older than Pringle is.

I feel like Kemp and/or Pringle did some damage to their standing last week. And if the Chiefs think Gordon can make a contribution, they're smart to take the (extremely minimal) risk.

A better question is, why is Marcus Kemp still here? After 5 years you know if he can play at WR or not and that answer is obviously not. You're supposed to churn the bottom of your roster looking for diamonds in the rough. Not hanging on to career special teams only guys for 8 years.

[BigRedChief]

I’m pretty sure we’d be signing him regardless of whether we were 3-0 or 1-2. He has the potential to make us better than Fountain (or Kemp). End of story.agreed. No draft picks or trades. No financial risk. 3-0 and we still make this move.

[DJ's left nut]

The nice thing is that his skill-set should adapt quickly.

They're not going to be sending Gordon on a slew of double-move and option routes. He's a big body possession receiver with high-point skills at this point in his career.

It should be fairly quick/easy to get him up to speed on running slants in the red zone and/or go routes.

This isn't someone like Maclin who needs to put moves together to get the job done. He's a big man who had good deep speed and body control. If he has any of that left, we can put him to work by week 7 and get something out of him, IMO.

He is 30 now and hasn't played regular football in forever but... whatever I guess?

[milkshock]

Gordon at least fits the physical WR type I have been bitching about for 2 years. He can still catch a ball even with a DB next to him. Hill, Hardman, Pringle and Robinson can't win the size battle to do that. Only guy we have that gets the ball all the time that can is Travis.


Yeah just a shame juju never signed

Posted this 9/15 in the "Josh Gordan Suspended Again" thread:

"Legalize MJ Federally and force the NFL to pay Josh Gordon reparations for ruining his career over some BS! Josh doesn't seem like an addict but someone using MJ to medicate for mental health reasons, it's a far safer substitute than prescription pills and clearly wasn't affecting his performance. I think it's a ****ing shame the way the NFL has ruined his career and slandered his name."

Happy to see Andy giving him a shot! Guy is only 30 years old! Sure, he's built differently mentally than others, but that shouldn't be our concern. We're a football team and this guys a perfect fit for what we need right now. He can fill the role that Sammy left behind, comes cheap, and has huge upside.

2 things: 1) He has shown intermittent flashes of ability as a WR and seemingly has injuries knock him back just as he was ready to establish himself.

2) Dave Toub gets a few toys on the roster every year.

Item 1 doesn't bother me much but I'm rapidly losing patience with item 2. If Toub is as good a ST coordinator as is claimed, he shouldn't need 10% of the roster allocated specifically to ST players to thrive.

[Megatron96]

Honestly a bit surprised at this signing.

Not like he's going to play that much. Especially at first.

[DJ's left nut]

So does this mean another team could snatch him away?

If he elected to leave, yes - in theory.

But if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't have signed here initially. He chose KC for a reason.

[srvy]

Powers that be must feel the wheels are off. It kind of smells of desperation.

[Eleazar]

It seems more like a move to motivate those who are underperforming at the WR position. Bringing in more competition should send a message to DRob, Pringle, etc.

That's a little different. Gordon is an addict, AB is just an asshole. Plus, Brady actually tried to help Gordon stay clean when he was with the Patriots and failed so Gordon is clearly a tougher case than AB.

Mahomes provides leadership for our guys but he isn't a drug counselor. End of day Chiefs will do best they can with Gordon but he's going to have to really want this and work hard in his off time to stay clean to make it work.

Pretty sure they won't wait until he knows 70% of the playbook. That would take too long. Instead, (just WAG-ing here) I think they'll install 6-9 plays for him, all of which will be standard type routes, no options. Maybe one of two option plays, but that's it. If, and that's a big 'if,' JG plays well and seems to be progressing well, Andy will slowly add plays to his mini playbook. By season's end though I doubt he'll play more than 20 snaps/game, because he won't know enough of the playbook.

But what he should be able to pick up quickly is the improv type of plays. He's got the experience for that. If he can give the Chiefs about 90% of Sammy's improv abilities it should be worth it.

[TEX]

Can't afford it. He makes $12.5 MIL. But it would be good if it could happen.

We straight up fucked up the draft at WR.

The last 3 drafts we've been in position to draft DK Metcalf, Terry McLaurin, Tee Higgins and Terrace Marshall.

What we have to show for those picks is Hardman, Thornhill, Helaire and Bolton.

[rukiddingme]

Just put him on the field and let him run clear out routes. Work Tyreek underneath and let him go YAC on people. If they keep doubling Tyreek, throw it deep to Flash. Profit.

Should be that easy, right?

[Baby Lee]

i remember everyone was hyped about Le'veon Bell signing with the chiefs.....



LOL

If he has the impact Antonio Brown had on TB it's going to be massive for our offense

RBs and WRs have fundamentally different roles, with different dependencies.

A RB on a shittty blocking team, even if a really good RB, doesn't help a lot because they still have to run through big burly men to produce.

A WR has to get open and catch, and everything in the modern rulebook facilitates that. They aren't dependent on how good the lines are or the defense, or anything other than their skill and their connection with the QB.

[TEX]

We straight up ****ed up the draft at WR.

He's basically a cheaper Sammy Watkins. Valuable when on the field but could disappear for many games at a minutes notice. I don't see any harm in the signing.

Meantime, maybe puts some urgency in the Chiefs developing a young WR. Hardman and Robinson have a role in this offense. But Kemp and Pringle ain't it. If Cornell powell isn't next in line they need to keep rotating bodies until they find one. Feel like Sunday was a last look at Pringle and he didn't pass the test.

[MMXcalibur]

I'm not expecting a damn thing. I was burned last year by Le'veon Bell and my heart needs time to heal.

Then why did you list reasons that it should work out? Hill and Kelce take the coverage, and this guy gets balls.

If that’s the way you see it, cool. Josh Gordon hasn’t been relevant in 8 years.

[Bearcat]

I guess there's some added risk that he actually does produce right away, the Chiefs say holy shit, we've fixed the problem! ...and then he runs into more problems before they really need him, and they can't trade for option B at that point.

But, that assumes there are other decent options out there to choose from and they would actually pull the trigger on those options.... or else, meh, guess we'll see.

Maybe, but also Gordon has lots of history with the wco offense. He started his career with shurmur/Childress and most recently worked under Brian Schottenheimer. Had a great year in a pure west coast offense as a rookie. Did particularly well in norvs Coryell offense. So the guy for being a degenerate seems to pick up on tricky offenses quickly.

It absolutely IS a panic move, but the panic seems to be justified because everyone outside of Hill is trash
