*The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2020 offseason with 19 players set to become unrestricted free agents, which should make for another busy spring and summer for Pete Carroll and John Schneider as they look to shore up the roster and contend for the number one seed in the NFC again next year.*
Our Seahawks Wire series on Seattle’s free agents continues with wide receiver Josh Gordon.
The Seahawks have proven year after year they are willing to bring in players with a troubled past if they believe they can help them win football games. Coach Carroll believes in his culture, and while they have had some turmoil in previous years it made sense for them to take a shot at dynamic playmaker Josh Gordon last year after he was released by the Patriots.
Seattle was the only team willing to do so, and the Seahawks got pretty much exactly what they paid for – a productive No. 3 receiver for five games before he was suspended, yet again, for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.
Gordon hauled in seven receptions for 139 yards and seven first downs, often coming up big in third-down situations.
However, with the length of his suspension still unknown, it seems pretty unlikely the Seahawks will re-up their contract with Gordon, likely leaving him waiting, potentially for a while, for another opportunity in the NFL.
