Tom Brady’s targets:

Josh Gordon
Rob Gronkowski
Julian Edelman(when he returns)
Phillip Dorsett
Chris Hogan
Cordarrelle Patterson

Good luck, defenses. #GoPats #NFL
In 2007 Randy Moss did 23 TDs with Brady.

I expect Josh Gordon to, at a MINIMUM, double that. To be clear anything less than 46 touchdowns will be a disappointment. I also have him on one of my fantasy teams so there's that. #JoshGordon
Not even watching the NFL anymore can’t believe that josh Gordon trade. I’m taking a knee.

I just don't get it. Why do people keep giving the Patriots their best players for so cheap? Josh Gordon for a 5th-rounder? REALLY? pic.twitter.com/KGzPEbrmmL

Patriots: Lol, remember when we wouldn't trade you Jimmy G? Now give us Josh Gordon.
— Dan Kadar (@MockingTheDraft) September 17, 2018
Browns: Sounds good!
Josh Gordon was traded for basically nothing. Hue Jackson and the Browns FO have to be one of the worst organizations in NFL history. Stuff like this is why the team is 1-32-1

Seriously who thought it was a good idea to let Josh Gordon go to the patriots 🤦🏼♂️
