Hernandez rents house in Cali - Page 4 - New England Patriots Forums

I love reading this though, its good to know that Hernandez is going to be in it to win it next year. He probably also knows that if Welker goes, AHern is going to have to step up big and replace his production from the slot, along with Edelman.

When they start their workouts, I hope all the receivers and tight ends make it out to Cali to work together. That's the kind of stuff that Manning did with Wayne and Harrison all the time, thats what Branch was doing in his prime here and thats what Welker has done a lot too.

Already excited for next year and we haven't even got to FA or the draft yet!

I mentioned this in the Draft Forum where they have a WR thread going.

I wonder if the team is thinking about moving Hernandez to WR on a permanent basis. He fits the bill as a "TALL" WR with excellent speed. He can run all the routes. And him being out in Cali and working with Brady could allow him to do that..

Then the Pats could use a later round pick on another TE with the hope of that TE working in with Hoomanawanui, Ballard and Gronk..

Good for him. AH is showing a maturity and dedication we're not seeing with Gronkowski. I've been one of AH's biggest critics on this board but this move tells me he wants to dedicate himself to becoming a better player and that is always a positive thing.

Summering in a bachelor pad in Manhattan Beach is not the greatest sacrifice a man has ever made for his work.

Edit: Oh, wait -- it's late winter/early spring. That makes it even better for him.

Just a hunch but somehow I don't think he's leaving his fiance and new baby daughter behind.

D) Slightly off topic...but revenue needy states are changing the laws to claim more tax revenue from part time residents. Minnesota's governor wants the threshold to be 2 months. Own a lake house in Minn. and spend the summer, the Gov. wants a piece of that action.
The rich are fleeing Cali, NY, IL, Maryland all because these cash strapped states won't make cuts. Texas says thank you. Lesson over

The loopholes are there. They'll find them if they're smaht.

Interesting idea. It could work.

How do you know Gronk won't be there? He may not even have to be there, he has this offense down pat when he's healthy.. Hernandez might have his role expanded a lot next year if Welker moves on in FA.. He will need the extra time with Brady to learn the subtelties of the offense the way Welker knew them.

It doesn't get as good as Gronk as far as tight ends go. He broke records his rookie year, he broke records in his 2nd year, and he was doing well this year until he had a freak broken forearm. Gronk is not a problem for this team, it makes me laugh at how crazy people are getting because of 1 video where he was dancing and having fun with a friend.
