The Seattle Seahawks claimed wide receiver Josh Gordon off waivers on Friday, and apparently, it wasn't that difficult of a task for them to achieve.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Seahawks were the only team in the NFL to put in a claim for Gordon, who landed at No. 28 on the waiver priority list.

Gordon began the season with the New England Patriots and played in six games before missing Week 7 due to a knee injury. The Patriots then placed Gordon on the injured reserve list, which seemed like a peculiar move at the time given that Gordon's injury was not that severe.

It was then revealed that New England planned on releasing Gordon, and on Thursday, it waived him.

The Pats were reportedly not happy with Gordon's work ethic, as he was showing up late to team meetings and was sometimes difficult for coaches to locate.

The fact that Gordon wasn't that productive didn't help his case, as he logged just 20 catches for 287 yards and a touchdown.

Gordon initially arrived in Foxborough in September 2018, coming over in a trade with the Cleveland Browns. He played in 11 games with the Patriots last season before announcing he would be stepping away from football to focus on his mental health last December.

The 28-year-old was then hit with an indefinite suspension for violating the NFL's drug policy.

He was reinstated in August.

Gordon began his career with the Browns back in 2012 and was terrific over his first couple of seasons, but from 2014 through 2017, he played in just 10 games as a result of a litany of drug-related bans.
