1. Josh Gordon

I mean, how could it not be?

With the NFL’s stance on illegal substances significantly softened, you have a chance to bring in a guy who is generally well-liked by coaches (including Bill Belicheck) but whose substance issues have made it difficult for him to have a career in the NFL.

I’m not a doctor or a therapist, but it seems to me that thriving at something you are incredibly talented in and surrounding yourself with teammates and coaches can help you figure out some of those issues better than being alone or jobless.

I don’t mean that to sound mean, I am just speaking in terms of my mental health, but having people around has always been more helpful than not.

Anyway, on the field Josh Gordon is a dynamo who has had over 300 yards in each of his last three seasons and even had 700 in 2018.

Gordon will be 29 this season and he still has a lot to offer a team and the Tennessee Titans could help nurture that talent without making him such a big part of the offense that your team folds if he isn’t on the field.

If Jon Robinson and Mike Vrabel want the Titans to be physically imposing and hard to tackle, adding Josh Gordon to come in occasionally and sub out Adam Humphries is a nice way to make your offense a little bit more dangerous for a few snaps at a time.
