Since this went so well for 2016, I will do it again for 2017. I'm hoping that one of the Mods will sticky it this time so I don't have to go searching for it.. LOL

Is that the same Rob Housler that was a big binky as a pass catching TE a while back. Interesting. Gronk will be back. Bennett is unsure. But I completely forgot (until I was checking something on Miguel's IR cap list) That Michael Williams and Gregg Scruggs will also be in the TE mix next season. I would like to think that would be a great start to the TE group even before the draft and Bennett's resigning

There's no such thing as Gregg Scruggs. He's like the boogeyman.

I vivdly remember people hoping we trade for Housler before the 2014 season. Looking forward to see if he can be salvaged like Dion.
 
Does lil Gronk need a futures deal?
 
He didn't sign one. Could be the end of the road for him and both sides are aware of it.
In New England or in the NFL?

I think in the NFL.

I mean he is a fullback which already limits the number of suitors and was all year unclaimed on the Patriots PS. Maybe someone signs him to a futures contract and he gets cut in the preseason but if that happens its based on his name alone.

Looks to me like the Pats did the Gronk family a solid. Incredibly, he will get a SB ring out of it.
 
Glad to see Lucien there. He'll be active next year. Surprised DeAndrew White is not on the list.
 
I'm ready for another offseason of people grossly overestimating Gaffney (although I'd be happy if he actually did pan out).

I think Gaffney is a decent player but he's not better than Blount, White, Lewis or Develin and doesn't come close to Bolden's ST value

I dont know about that but I said before that I had no idea why he declared early.

I really hate that the NFL Offseason takes so long,
 
how much more money did he make by declaring?

Was he ever a _real_ prospect ? If you take away his surname he doesn't even make a practice squad.

I think he just wanted to cash in while his brother was once again in the spotlight.

Idk, I dont think he made the Bills roster because of his name. But maybe I am overvalueing him, he is a tweener but so were the other two non Rob brothers.
 
Baby Gronk has returneth.


I know it may sound crazy, but I think Baby Gronk has some untapped talent. I'm thinking he could be a good H-Back.

Showed some good speed and a nice move here.


Ran a 4.7 and 4.74 at the Combine. Played fullback mostly in a blocking role.
