When news broke over the weekend that the Cleveland Browns intended to part ways with Josh Gordon, we showed you how scared NFL fans were over the possibility of the star wideout joining the New England Patriots.
Well, those fears have been realized.

So, how are fans reacting to news that Gordon soon will be catching passes from Tom Brady?
Just as you’d expect.
(Warning: Some of the following tweets are NSFW.)
Now I know damn well everyone seen that the #Browns were trading Josh Gordon. HOW TF DID NO OTHER #NFL TEAM JUMP IN FRONT OF THE #Patriots AND GRAB HIM? THIS IS WHY NONE OF THESE OTHER FRANCHISES WILL NEVER CATCH UP TO THEM. YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY EVERY TEAM IS TRASH.

The Browns have successfully fucked themselves for the past 10 years & have now fucked the rest of us by trading Josh Gordon to the Patriots. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Hell the whole league wants to know.

Honestly, if the shit stain @Browns agreed to trade #JoshGordon to the @Patriots for nothing more than a 5th round pick (in most cases equates to ZERO), that whole front office should be fired and they should be banished to the fucking CFL. The NFL is a joke. https://t.co/V3p2blPMRs

Hey, you can’t fault them for being upset.
At the end of the day, however, it’s no lock that Gordon will succeed in New England. The star wideout’s checkered past is well-documented, and he’s only played 11 games since 2013.
Still, if Gordon can keep his head on straight and play up to his potential, New England’s previously underwhelming offense could become unstoppable.
