I really don't see a problem with this one, Gordon wasn't drafted last year, he was on free agency all year, he gets picked up and kept for a 7th rounder, anyone could have done it. Every rule was followed, I don't see a loop hole.
I think this is a different situation than the Ace one, that one was clearly a loophole because he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune and got a better deal on a guy than the original owner could have. That just wasn't fair. It was an easy loophole to fix. This is different because everyone had the same chance on the same playing field. Making another rule for this one is overkill IMO and a keeper deadline would be more admin work and could have unintended consequences.
Also as an aside, I don't think Gordon is a good keeper anyway, he is ranked the #38 WR on the consensus rankings on fantasy pros and he is suspended for 1/3rd of the fantasy regular season like Clapp said.
Anyway that's my two cents, I'm fine with whatever everyone decides.
