Gronk trade completed

[203Pat]

Painful to see this all go down. We gave a 7th and Gronk and got a 4th apparently.

 

[holyredeemer]

Not that I'm doubting you, but a link would be cool.

Just got a pop up on my watch from Schefter. It’s legit.

Really the shape this team was in last year and he couldn't didn't want to play.. SMH lost respect for him now

 

[SHOWTIME15]

The Pats had Gronk and Brady and lost a SB to the Eagles

The talent they'd have on offense would be unreal...

 

[italian pat patriot]

Is it real ? Or 1st april in delay ?

Derp...all these guys don't want to play for Bill. They're all at fault.

 

[Redman443]

I will always be a patriots fan but I will be rooting for the Bucs unless theyre playing us.

How did we not get OJ Howard back !!??

.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Ya that may be. It was more an attempt at humor.

(See my post in the Brady leaving thread from a last month to see where my loyalties are)

I don't think Bill should just hand them a super bowl...make them pay for it. I'd settle for Howard and their 2nd rounder too...

 

[Deus Irae]

So the other threads had a lot of people willing to overpay for Gronk.

No respect lost. He did what he needed to for this franchise - let him have some fun elsewhere.

Gross

 

[RobertWeathers]

Wasn't he offered to Detroit for a 4th?

Gronk is a bit of damaged goods at this point.

His value is not what anyone imagines.

Personally, I'd also be in favor of trading Thuney, Gilmore and Edelman just to start building back up with young guys.

Their 117th pick is fair value for a soon to be 31year old player who is in decline, injury prone and going to cost TB $10m.

BB just found $200 on the street.

Fans should be psyched at this development.

 

[Uptown]

..I know who I’ll be picking in Madden.

 

[HailHydra]

Disappointing no OJ Howard involved (Bucs can prolly get a 3rd from someone) but a free 4th is always welcome

 

[italian pat patriot]

Is it real ? Or 1st april delayied?

 

[patsbrasilpatriotas]

I don't get all this Howard love. He looks decent, but 3TDs per season and 450 yds i would rather have a 3rd.

I liked the trade. He wasn't coming back to play for us. I hope they find another gem and put the disnaty back on track.

 

[FCB02062]

Shouldn't have done it, **** gronkowskis. A 4th? Sanu got a 2d

 

[borisman]

Was hoping for a 3rd but as Deus said why would Tampa do that. Anyways, one round off is still an OK deal for someone who was not going to play another down for us.

Edit: I hope it's the 117th and not the 139th pick.
