Seattle Seahawks’ wideout core just received a major boost. According to multiple reports, the Seahawks have re-signed former Pro Bowl WR Josh Gordon to a one-year deal.
Seahawks still haven’t made the signing official, but the news was confirmed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter by Gordon’s agent David Canter.
Gordon is currently serving an indefinite suspension, but has applied for reinstatement earlier this year and is reportedly on a good track to receive a green light for the 2020 NFL season. With that in mind, Seattle approached the 29-year-old WR earlier this week and got the deal done.
Gordon started six games in 2019 with the New England Patriots before being released midway through the season. He was claimed by the Seahawks and ended up with seven receptions for 139 yards in a limited amount of snaps.
Despite the small size sample, the Seahawks were interested in a reunion with Gordon, with the team’s head coach Pete Carroll telling reporters last month that the veteran “fit in really well” with the rest of the roster. Carroll also stated that the organization was “very open” to bringing him back.
Seahawks already have Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf locked in as starters, but Josh Gordon has a good chance of landing the No.3 on the depth chart if game-ready. He will compete with offseason acquisitions Paul Richardson and Phillip Dorsett for the spot.
