The Patriots will send a fifth-round draft pick to the Browns in exchange for Gordon (hamstring), Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the deal, if Gordon isn't active for 10 games, Patriots would get a late-round draft choice back from the Browns. While Gordon carries a high-risk, high-reward label thanks to his off-field/suspension history, the upside he carries is just as obvious. The Patriots are as a good a fit as any for Gordon, given the team's current lack of depth at wideout and the fact that he'll be catching passes from a quality QB in Tom Brady. It's hard to predict when Gordon might make an impact with his new team, given that he's dealing with a hamstring issue and must learn a new playbook. Once he's up to speed with the New England offense, however, he'll be an intriguing fantasy lineup option.
