Gronk trade completed

[Love The Drake]

So is Thuney moving today or tomorrow or during the draft?
What are the bets.

And GRONK could have just sought reinstatement, which would have screwed the Patriots over.

Absolutely. If the Pats tried to play the waiting game there are two issues. One is timing of the draft later this week. The other is Gronk officially un-retiring which would I think immediately causing his contract to go back onto the Pats' cap which would then push them way above it.

I could see tampa trading howard or brate for fournette

And GRONK could have just sought reinstatement, which would have screwed the Patriots over.

In what way? He wasn't playing here, at all.

That's a game of chicken that Gronk would end up losing.

Pretty sure Belichick would be more than happy to make moves to bring back Rob Gronkowski to man the Tight End spot over having another season of LaCosse and Izzo.

I didn’t follow the Brady saga too closely so I don’t know if there have been any public statements from Edelman, but not beyond the realms of possibility he feels let down by Brady.

 

[PF_SU]

Definitely....

Arians' already said that they won't sign him.

People here know that BB is a bit curmudgeonly. His curmudgeon nature helped us win 6 rings. You can't have it both ways. A 4th is at least something. Hopefully it helps gets us into the 2nd rd

Draft day

I'll say today or tomorrow to the Eagles for Goddart and a 4th

 

[Kontradiction]

Edelman not following Brady anymore isn’t a joke. Just checked. He really doesn’t follow him.

 

[manxman2601]

Draft day

which one ?

A dead asset to us, not a dead asset with no trade value. You're severely confusing the two.

No, I'm not confusing it at all. They ended up getting something for what would otherwise have been valueless.

It was even stupider to accept it two days out from the draft and not continue negotiations to get a better return.

You have no idea of how the talks were going, so this part of your comment has no merit.

Yeah I think your view on "leverage" is pretty warped, but carry on with it if the return makes you feel better.

I'm sorry that I understand how leverage works, and that you are struggling with that understanding.

Everyone is tired of BB and his cheapskate grumpy old fart shtick. Everyone except BB ballwashers on this forum apparently. Lul. 6-10.

Seems like we always lose when we trade for draft picks.

yea because we havent been drafting worth a damn for a couple years (2019 draft still pending results). No excuse this year, they were eliminated in the wild card round and had an extra 2 months to assess the roster and prepare for the draft

They need to have the draft of a lifetime this year.

 

[Coolade]

No

Quite smug and confident ..LMAO

Did he follow him in the past?

He still follows him on Twitter. Not instagram. What is this even supposed to mean?
