5 wide receivers the Ravens could acquire besides Antonio Brown
1. Josh Gordon, Free Agent
Here’s something that might blow your mind. Gordon is 29 years old. His off-field troubles resurfaced last year, but over the last few months, there’s been buzz about yet another reinstatement.

If Gordon is reinstated, the Seahawks may be at the front of the line to sign him. He played five games for the Seahawks last season and has apparently continued to live in the area. Gordon also played six games for the New England Patriots at the start of last year, with better production than he had in Seattle (20 catches for 287 yards).
Gordon’s huge 2013 season with the Cleveland Browns (87 receptions for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns in 14 games) feels like a lifetime ago, and he has only played 33 NFL games since then.
If the Ravens are going to take a flier on a wide receiver who has had some off-field trouble, at least Gordon hasn’t been a known locker room cancer like Brown. Even if his talent only comes (or is needed) in flashes, Gordon still has something to offer if he can keep his off the field demons away.
