This is huge for the Seahawks and Russell Wilson. Wilson now has a major deep ball threat, and the team is getting him at a bargain price.
The Seahawks’ offense isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination. Wilson already has some weapons to play with, but adding Gordon is a serious upgrade in the passing department.
With D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Josh Gordon running routes, the Seahawks have some serious options for their star quarterback.

If Gordon can stay sober and healthy, then this is a hell of a smart move for the Seahawks. If not, then they can cut him loose after getting him cheap.
It’s a win-win for Seattle. There’s literally no downside at all.

We’ll see what Gordon and Wilson can do together on the field. My expectations are very high.
