Antonio Brown is still available too. Just how much baggage do we want on the roster?

Yes let's compare smoking weed to sexual harrassment claims.

I read that AB would go on the exempt list if he unretired...read it on here possibly.

He's not retired, but at the pace they're going, the NFL should be ready to wrap up his investigation sometime around 2099.

Definitely intentional.  No one will sign him because they know he will go on the exempt list.  They have no incentive to clear him, and probably don't want to.  So the investigation is super slow.  Investigating a player not on a team isn't a high priority.  

A team would have to sign him and force the NFL's hand to exempt list him to jump start the investigation.  No team (as of now) wants him that badly.

He was, it was a minor knee injury and hes well enough to play now.  Oh, and he is only owed a little over 1 million dollar for the rest of the season.  Seems like a no-brainer to me to at least put in a waiver request on the guy.

Honestly.  This is a very interesting waiver wire pass.

I really don't know who would actually use him.  If you are 0 or 1 win...do you actually want to make your team slightly better at this point?  Gordon is a UFA after this season.  

A bad team with a young franchise QB who they want to develop could use a better supporting cast early on to help their development I could see Jets claiming and getting him.

The Jets were just trying to trade every player on their roster 2 days ago.

[Captain Morgan]

Saints don't have a 2nd.  If he's there in the 3rd he gone.

Bengals will.  So that Finley can throw to AJ Green / Boyd / Gordon / Eifert.

Honestly, I don't know.  If I was any of those 0 or 1 win teams I would desperately want them to pass.

Right and they got an offer of a 3rd rounder for Robby Anderson but didn’t trade him because it’d leave Darnold with nothing. Anderson is going to leave as a FA this offseason and they’d be really really lucky to get a 3rd round comp pick for him in 2021, will probably be a 4th or 5th at best. There was no other reason to keep him than to help with Darnold’s development. Oh and by the way, Gordon could get a comp pick for whichever team claims him

[countryboi]

he has to be damaged goods the Pats really need WRs

You're thinking of the Supplemental Draft.

This is waivers. There's only one "round" and nobody has to give up any draft picks.
