Ken Blaze/USA TODAY SportsTouched down on Boston pavement early this afternoon, wide receiver Josh Gordon has reported to Foxboro and passed his physical per multiple reports, making Monday's deal between the Patriots and Browns officially completed.
The deal was also featured on the league's transaction wire, meaning that the trade is officially, officially completed.
Out of the picture in Cleveland after showing up late to the facility and with a non-football hamstring injury, Gordon's New England arrival comes after he caught one pass for 17 yards and a touchdown in Cleveland's Week 1 tie with the Steelers.
Acquired in exchange for a conditional fifth-round draft pick in 2019, the pressure is now on the 27-year-old to suit up for the Patriots.
If Gordon dresses for at least 10 of the Patriots' 14 remaining games, that fifth-round pick will transfer to Cleveland. If he does not meet that requirement, though, the Patriots will obtain a seventh-round draft pick from the Browns.
