2. Josh Gordon

In 2018 Josh Gordon proved that he still has a ton of talent, but sadly his off-field demons ended his season early. With the possibility of Gordon getting reinstated in the offseason, the New England Patriots should try and bring back the wideout.

Gordon only played in 11 games for the New England Patriots but was still one of the top receivers on the team. Once he and Tom Brady were on the same page the duo did some damage. Gordon had 40 catches for 720 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2018.

When he is on the field, Gordon is a beast. He has so much athleticism and can make catches that other wideouts dream off.

Julian Edelman isn’t getting any younger and the Patriots will at least lose Chris Hogan or Phillip Dorsett. So signing Gordon seems like a good idea.

Gordon shouldn’t cost the team a lot either. I don’t think teams will be clamoring over him due to his off the field issues. This will allow the Patriots to acquire him for a bargain.

If the Patriots are able to re-sign Gordon he will help maintain the success of New England’s wide receivers for the near future.
