[Speculation] Gronk coming home?

[Patriotic Fervor]

I’m just saying, the dude could probably just get clean long enough to come back and then self-medicate as needed for the half-season he’s on the team. Are they gonna drug test him in the span of 8-ish games? Guess they could, but he could easily appeal and run out the clock and then just retire again before he faced serious ramifications. And it would be his first offense anyway so he could take the 1 game if he had to.

I’m just spitballing but it makes sense in my head.

He seriously needs to bulk up before anything else if he chooses to do this!

We toss brown over a bridge and take back gronk

Eh, his career now is to remain famous for as long as he can. He'll be known as a Patriots tight end for the rest of his life, it's his identity regardless if he comes back or not. And despite twitter settings.

This thread should be closed until after the bye, when this could become a possibility, or not. I believe that the latest date is for Game 13 at a cost of $2.9M, which would be unlikely to be an issue.

BTW, loved when Robert Kraft held up the trophy monday night, and THE DENT was clearly visible.. Thanks Gronkie

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Tedy Bruschi drafted Gronk for his fantasy team FWIW

 

[SHOWTIME15]

He has updated his Twitter profile to state ‘New England Patriots Tight End.’ Lots of talk of him coming back.

What did it say before today?

Could he even pass an nfl physical as of today?

Why is that relevant ?

If he announces a comeback it doesn't mean he will play next week. He might as well spend the next 2-3 weeks working with the strength & conditioning crew to get game ready.

While I get that people have serious doubts about his shape right now, is there actually anyone who doubts he could get there in a few weeks with professional help ? He doesn't look that far gone at all.

Can you moderate?

I don't think he is going to be able to resist

Last night, and after watching the Steelers game, Gonk looked like that he was ready to go out for a pass and called every Patriot a beast on TMZ.

Is a bullfrog water proof?

Actually he doesn’t. If Gronk comes back they should change his role to a move TE, and let somebody else do the heavy blocking. Put on some muscle and work on his speed and release, then use him as a big possession TE.

Is a bullfrog water proof?

Is that a trick question?
Nope. That’s why they hang out around ponds. Otherwise they dry out. They are permeable.

 

[Wax Frog]

Until and unless I read that he's suited up and taking reps in practice, I have been, and will continue, taking everything from Gronk with a big grain of trollling/PR salt

 

[mgteich]

my preference would be that Gronk be ready to play after the bye.

Joe Willy hasn’t let go either.

Just a reminder that Gronk would need to pass through waivers after the trading deadline in October.

Expiration of trade deadline means all released players are subject to waivers

The good news? Only 31 teams can claim him before the Patriots!
