Gronk trade completed

[Arialgg]

Apparently he re-followed him. If you look above, in the screenshot of this Tyler Sullivan the number of people he's following is 1187. In yours it's 1188

Aha. The plot thickens!!!

 

[JarOfMayo51]

Does everyone remember that dude that posted in here saying his friend with the Pats told him the Pats were prepping Gronk's un-retirement papers and we all called that poster an a**hole?

In our defense, they might still be an a**hole, but just an informed a**hole?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

No quarterback and no receivers it will be nothing short of a miracle. Right now this team will be lucky to win 5 games

Then we enter the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes...

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

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

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

I don’t think you understand the situation

We don’t have the cap room for Gronk, and he wasn’t going to accept a trade elsewhere. So it was either take the offer Tampa makes, engage in trade discussions with a team that knows Gronk won’t play for them, or start cutting people to get under the cap when his salary counts again.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Certainly hasn't lived up to his potential or draft slot.

But that doesn't mean his career is over or that he can't get it going for another team. Thats why I wouldn't mind him here. Belichick has turned around less talented guys careers before. Recently Van Noy was a 2nd round bust for the Lions, and turned into a very good player here.

He is on the books for $2 million guaranteed this year. We have 1 million and still have to sign the draft picks. In my humble opinion I would not take that risk. We have too many needs with no money. Every bit of loot we spend from this point better be well spent.

Then we enter the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes...

If we’re around the 5-11 mark and we don’t select a qb early in a few days what we really should be hoping is that the chargers and jags take QBs r1. I’m fairly certain Miami is gonna take Herbert. If both LA and Jax suck next year we at least shouldn’t want them in the QB market.

 

[Biffins]

Awful. So pretty much Gronk and Tom wanted out because of Bill...

Complete and horrible mismanagement of our star talent by Kraft and BB. There's no other frickin way to say it. BB's arrogant ass drove away talent.

Now let's see this ******* try and get home team discounts without Tom around and when he's known to be a prick. Watch everyone tell BB to fck off with his hometown discount bs.

BB should have been thanking his lucky stars he got a god like Brady with that talent and that team-first attitude to put up with his arrogant ass for this long.

Fck Kraft and Fck BB for all this bs and the way they have ended the careers of the two best players (apologies to Hannah) to ever suit up for the Patriots. This is complete and utter frickin BS.

 

[luuked]

This bad blood seemed to happen right in the wake of the Super Bowl loss against the Eagles. Not saying that’s what caused it one way or another. Just that it’s a very big coincidence.

I'd speculate it started before that with the entire Guerrero / weights episode during camp after he came back from his back surgery that year. It was that December that Gronk gave Curran that "I don't have fun" interview, didn't he ?

 

[Sully]

put Edelman on suicide watch stat

Or trade him for Tampas other 4th

LA - Tua

Jax - Love?

 

[JarOfMayo51]

Clearly have some people working through various stages of the grief process right now

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Which 4th did we get from Tampa, 117 or 139?

Giselle is that you?

I read 117 somewhere. Hope it’s right.

 

[Deus Irae]

I supported Gronk's retirement decision (but not how he strung it out) especially when I read statements about his cranium status after concussions. I do NOT think it's good for him to play but I understand a tiny bit how it must feels to quit playing something you really like. Selfishly, I do look forward to watching the boys play (whenever that happens) down here near Tamper.

If you've got a spare room, you've got a chance to make some money renting it out to Patsfans coming south for a game or two.

Van Noy was traded for a swap of a 6th and 7th round pick, so basically for free. Big difference compared to trading a 3rd or whatever.

I just think the tight end position is going to continue to be devalued in the modern NFL. There's only a handful of tight ends who are better than a team's third or even fourth receiver and a player like Kelce is mainly used as a receiver anyways. You look for guys who can make mismatches regardless of their listed position and most of those guys are receivers. Tight end is just kind of a dead position in college, only a handful of teams use one (Iowa, Alabama, Miami, Notre Dame) so those guys are your only options and they end up overdrafted a lot of the time.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Which 4th did we get from Tampa, 117 or 139?

Not sure but I would bet the house on 139.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

LA - Tua

Jax - Love?

Yes that’s what we want if we don’t take 1 of those players ourselves.

At some point I'm sure Bill scolded him for seeing Guerrero...
