Seahawks | Josh Gordon could return
Free-agent WR Josh Gordon (Seahawks) could re-sign with the Seattle Seahawks if he is reinstated before the 2020 season, according to ESPN’s Brady Henderson. Gordon has remained in the Seattle area this offseason and would like to play for the Seahawks.
Footballguys View: Gordon wouldn’t be as big a threat to Tyler Lockett or DK Metcalf’s fantasy outlook as an Antonio Brown signing, but he would be an upgrade to their WR3 spot nonetheless. He’s unlikely to be fantasy relevant wherever he lands, but re-joining Seattle would upgrade Russell Wilson’s stock.
Seahawks | Seattle not close to deal with Antonio Brown
Free-agent WR Antonio Brown (Patriots) received some interest from the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason, but the two sides are not close to a contract agreement because of his off-field issues, according to a source.
Footballguys View: The league hasn’t settled on a suspension or otherwise resolved Brown’s status with the league in light of off-field incidents, so that could be the holdup in coming to an agreement. The Seahawks remain one of the most likely if not the most likely team to sign Brown.
