Patriots Tight Ends:

He’s not a replacement for Gronk, that just isn’t fair to Seferian-Jenkins to even suggest it. Nobody is. He can a productive member of the passing game.

It’s been a while since fans have seen Rob Gronkowski spike a football, but through five games Gronkowski is still on pace for another Gronk-like year.

Gronk has it all; size, speed, tremendous hands, can line up all over the field from in the slot to split out wide and is a very good pass blocker and a devastating run blocker.

Gronkowski Announcement Doesn’t Change Much: Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and his agent Drew Rosenhaus met with Bill Belichick on Tuesday telling the coach that he’s returning for the 2018 […]

With the right coach and the right system, Samuels can line up anywhere and be a factor on offense. As a running back out in the flat, as an H-Back, or in the slot. He will probably become a core special teamer immediately.

It is unknown whether they tried to work a deal to restructure his contract that would count for $6.2 million dollars against the salary cap.

Rosenhaus appeared with Mike Florio on his “ProFootballTalk Live” show and threw water on the reports that Gronkowski is all set to return.

there needs to be a sit-down with the veteran leaders of the team with the coaches and ownership and clear whatever bad air is still lingering over a tense atmosphere in Gillette last season.

Gronkowski is still the gold standard among tight ends in the NFL. No one possesses the entire package that he brings to the table.

Butt was the Big Ten Tight End of the Year with 46 receptions for 546 yards (11.9-yard Avg) with four touchdowns in 2016.

Bennett caught 55 passes for 701 yards and 7 touchdowns. He completely bought into the team-first concept and was a popular teammate in the locker room.

This will change the Patriots offense, but at least the coaches have time to implement their changes before the playoffs start

With Tom Brady, the Patriots are merely scratching the surface on what they can do with the two tight end sets, either with “12” or “22” personnel.

Another huge target at 6’6, 273 pounds, Bennett is a big body who can threaten the seams. He’s also another tremendous blocker in the running game.

One player that will be kind of under the radar but should be watched closely is tight end Clay Harbor.
