According to multiple reports, it sounds like the team may have a double shot of Gronk in their offense, with tight end Dan Gronkowski, the brother of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkwoski, reportedly set to join New England.
Gronkowski was cut by the Broncos over the weekend, and his brother Chris tweeted a few minutes ago a congratulations to Dan about joining New England.
No official word has been reported by the team just yet, but it should make for a fun season should Chris be any where near the type of player his brother is.
We'll have more on this in the afternoon notes in a bit.
