Tom Brady Lowering Expectations For Josh Gordon
6 years agoNew England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is lowering the expectations of wide receiver Josh Gordon, who the Patriots acquired via a trade on Monday. "You know, I hate to make projections and expectations. That's not fair," Brady told Jim Gray on Westwood One on Monday night. "I've never met Josh personally, just like I hadn't met some of the guys that have come in the last couple weeks. So we'll see how it goes this week and hopefully he can work hard, put the team first and end up helping us in any role that he can find for himself on the team." He also cautioned that it could take time to develop chemistry with Gordon. The embattled receiver surely upgrades New England's receiving room with Julian Edelman suspended two weeks, but it'll depend on whether Gordon can clean up his act and learn this offense quickly enough. It's unclear if Gordon will be active in Week 3 against the Lions on Sunday night. If he is, he'll be a boom-or-bust WR3.
