Gronk is BB's wet dream. He will get paid.

Not so sure about AH though.

A huge expansion of the cap when the new TV contract comes.

No, he should be every football fan's wet dream. but seriously, BB is known for his fond for TE's, and he was consistently drafting TE's and failed until he drafted Gronkowski and Hernandez.

If BB stays true to his model then he is only worth whatever amount he has given that position.

He is a tight end, but more of target. I think the organization should take that into consideration.

His back comes into question so you are kinda rolling the dice on that one.

Branch was a SB MVP and Bradys go to guy and they let him walk.

Don't want to imagine life without 87. In my opinion his value is much higher than a tight end.

I mean Winslow, Gonzalez, Davis, Clark, Shiancoe and even Whitten. 87 is the best in the league now.

What will it take? I would think a very favorable offer, as it should....

Given that the franchise tag number for a TE last year was $5.9 million, and given the assumption that Gronk is at worst the #2 TE in the league, I figure 5 years, $35 million with $12 million guaranteed and $22 million in the first three years will be the arrangement.

And will the Pats pay that?

Yep, in a hearbeat
