Gronk is my all time favorite Patriot, but I can’t help but wonder if he will be a Patriot in 2019.
I want him to be a Patriot next year, but instead of a raise, they may ask him to take a pay cut which may lead to retirement or Gronk being cut. He already threatened retirement when they wanted to trade him to the Lions for a first round pick.
Gronk currently has a 12 million dollar cap hit in 2019, with 10 million in savings if cut or traded.
Will Belichick let Gronk play for that number? As we all know Belichick does not pay for past performance.
I hope the find common ground and maybe reduce his cap number while giving him a chance to earn it and maybe more in performance incentives.
If Gronk does not believe he is slipping, hopefully he would take it.
I would hate to see Gronk cut & then sign with another team.
What do you guys think?
