The Bucs have just under $2 mill in cap space and Brate is now their “1B” option at TE. The Vikings just drafted Irv Smith and don’t have a ton of cap space. The Redskins have Jordan Reed as their main TE and some younger cheaper guys and owe $6 mill to Davis.
Agreed. Both would be pricey and would require some maneuvering on our end.Brate would be an excellent addition but, like Rudolph, costs too much
The TE will be Gronk at some point next year. ASJ will be a place holder until that happens.
Really good article. Thanks for the link. All the Gronk fans hoping he will return as the Pats’ savior should read it.
We probably just wait until they get cut.Agreed. Both would be pricey and would require some maneuvering on our end.
Brate’s salary is fully guaranteed, so they’re not going to cut him. Rudolph if he’s cut, sure.We probably just wait until they get cut.
Stop being silly. You and others can continue to speculate that Gronk is going to return.
At this point in time there is no proof.
People were complaining about his slowness last season.
Why would he miraculously improve?
he also lost a ton of weight alreadyGronk has back problems. He is not coming back.
Reimer: Rob Gronkowski's unforgettable career was always on borrowed time
Hope on our part, but the Pats know something we as fans don’t. No TE drafted, no press conference announcing Gronk’s retirement = good chance he is returning.
Rosenhaus definitely floated the idea out there for some reason, he's too smart to throw that out for no reason. I think everyone can acknowledge that at least, there's some sort of plan there. Could be for leverage for Gronk's other opportunities, who knows. Gronk has been at the Bruins, so maybe he hasn't even left the area?Stop being silly. You and others can continue to speculate that Gronk is going to return.

Press conference? The team, Kraft and BB all posted lengthy official congratulations/gratitude/inmemoriam type messages on Gronk's retirement to the media and world. It's in the books.
(I'll be delighted to see Gronk suit up again, but "hope" sounds about the right amount of certainty at this point.)

I think all the talk of Wynn being the eventual replacement for Thuney is rubbish. The Wynn pick was as high as the Pats have drafted in recent years and he was the best OT in the SEC that year. So while he might not have the "classic" OT metrics he possesses the athletic ability to take on the ever increasing influx of smaller, but super fast edge rushers that are entering the league. Wynn was selected to be an OT....and only a OTWhats the plan for lt right now, wynn? With karras and now Froholdt there is already plenty depth on the iol, not sure where else wynn would go...
