[UPDATE]- Gordon is headed to the Patriots per Ian Rapoport:
The #Patriots have agreed to trade for #Browns WR Josh Gordon, I’m told. Done deal. IT’s for a conditional 5th round pick.

In case you weren’t paying attention Saturday night, the Browns announced that they were going to waive Josh Gordon today. There are obviously a lot of moving parts with Gordon’s situation, but apparently the Browns decided that it was finally time to move on. That’s never an easy decision with a player that is as talented as Gordon is.
Well now it appears likely that the Browns will trade him per Ian Rapoport:
From @gmfb: The #Browns are expected to be able to trade WR Josh Gordon before 4 pm today and the trade compensation should be legit. pic.twitter.com/1Ee87N8G6a

Josina Anderson is reporting that 8-10 teams have inquired and that some teams want it kept quiet that they are in the mix:
Anyways, a source just told me at least "8 to 10 teams have called" the #Browns inquiring about potentially trading for WR Josh Gordon. Some teams r adamant abt not wanting it known their organization is calling, I'm told. Clear reasons to be tight. I've heard about some though.

Gordon has a skill set that would help the Titans, but that is basically the same thing as saying that water is wet. Skill set has never been the question with Gordon, however. I would be really surprised if the Titans end up being the team that acquires Gordon. He just doesn’t seem to fit the type of player that Jon Robinson looks for.
With that being said, I wouldn’t be upset if they gave up a 5th or 6th round pick to bring Gordon in. What are your feelings on the subject?
