We are all waiting to hear if Gronk has played his last game. I really hope he comes back and aligns his retirement with Brady's plan. Two or three more years.
Gronk has had multiple surgeries and takes a beating, especially to his knees and quads, but also to his head. Earl Thomas rocked him pretty good a few years back.
Personally, I don't need to see Gronk play in the preseason or even until Week 10. Playing for the Patriots adds a minimum of 2 games, usually 3, every season. Or at least 4 of the last 5. Playing until February and then minicamp happens in May, just 3 months later. Give him a full 6 months every year and don't expect him to do training camp at all. PUP list, weights, bikes, TB12 method. Then 6-8 games to tune-up and playoffs.
Gronk when healthy is worth more than they are paying him. Under this type of arrangement he is still worth $10 million if it means a championship.
I say keep the gang together Brady-Gronk-Edelman as long as possible.
