The Seahawks have a deep offense, with Russell Wilson at quarterback, Chris Carson as the lead back, and Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf leading the receiving corps. Gordon will give them even greater depth and another weapon as they push for a playoff spot out of the NFC West.

Gordon has 20 catches for 287 yards and a touchdown this season. When healthy, he can be explosive, but the Patriots decided to move on after a recent knee injury. He should be medically cleared soon, and at that point, it’ll be interesting to see what he can add to the Seattle offense.
