Belichick still won’t say Gordon trade is finished

The Patriots have announced the trade, and even pieced together an Instagram post of Tom Brady throwing to Josh Gordon. The Browns have announced the trade.

But none of that, apparently, is good enough for Bill Belichick:

Bill Belichick doesn't want to comment on Josh Gordon. Alludes to the fact the trade isn't official, despite both teams announcing. "We're at the same place with him that we were yesterday...We'll see how it goes."

And hypothetical questions on today's conference call about possibly bringing aboard a player with Gordon's baggage, and how that would work? Nope, not going there either.

Asked Bill Belichick earlier about dependability vs. ability. Something he's been open about before. At one point is he willing to relax his standards on the former to add the latter?

"That's a pretty vague and general question...Try to do what's best for the football team."

At least offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had a little something to say about a trade that everyone except Belichick acknowledges has been completed:

McDaniels asked to rate Josh Gordon as a perimeter threat: "It's hard for me to say that...It's been a while. We'll have to see if that develops that way and how that comes along here."
