Josh Gordon Reacts To Patriots Tendering Him

The New England Patriots made a commitment to Josh Gordon, and he really appreciates everything they have done for him.

New England placed an original-round restricted free agent tender on Josh Gordon, as confirmed by Ben Volin from The Boston Globe. If this is true, the move would mean that another NFL team would have to give up on a second-round pick if it elected to sign Gordon. He is a restricted free agent and currently is serving an indefinite suspension.

We can’t really tell if a NFL team is interested in signing the player. The Patriots trusted him, and he made sure they don’t regret their decision.

Gordon thanked the team and quoted John F. Kennedy in his latest Instagram post.

“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men,” he wrote.

We can’t really tell much about the further development of events. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell talked about Gordon, and it seems likes things are taking the right direction.

“Directly I have not spoken to him since his last suspension,” Goodell said of Gordon. “I do know he’s in treatment. He’s a young man who has had a lot of challenges. I have gotten to know him and understands his struggles and the challenges that he’s had to go through and he’s working at it. He understands what he has to do. He understand the importance for him — And this is well beyond football. This is for his life. — to make sure he takes care of himself and he understands the importance of getting this issue under control and being able to live a healthy and long life. 

“If he can, we’ll evaluate that at the right time, but right now the focus is what more can we do to help Josh get to that place.”Good luck, Gordon!
