With news that Desean Jackson is likely out for the year, will the Eagles regret not taking a chance on Josh Gordon?

No. He has too much baggage. Plus it allows JJ Whiteside a chance to make his mark on his rookie season.

Yes. Gordon would instantly be a WR2 and maybe WR1 with Alshon Jeffrey dropping everything.

VERIFIED

I would, but no way the Eagles will regret it.  However, what they should regret is drafting Whiteside ahead of D.K. Metcalf in the 2nd round.  Metcalf has 29 receptions for 525 yards and 5 TD's.  He'd be 2 yards behind leading receiver, Zach Ertz, right now with those numbers.  Whiteside can't get on the field and has 2 catches for 14 yards.  Ouch!!

Too much baggage makes drama, give the rookie a chance

Tanner Zanie

Not even worth it, if New England couldn't make him work its not likely anyone else is going to fix it. Not just that but if the Eagles didn't plan for Jackson getting hurt then they deserve to have the problem.

Great point! I still have faith in JJ but Metcalf would be a absolute difference maker!
