Patriots/NFL Off Season 2019 - Rob Gronkowski announces retirement

[Troublesome 85]

He was good in the playoffs, I'll agree with that, but he was really poor during the season. Constantly taking too wide of an angle and getting blocked by the QB, or over pursuing and losing containment.

He's a decent rotational piece, but I think he's gone.

Put it this way, of the non-shirtless guys, he was the only guy I saw at the parade not wearing a jersey.

Really? strange.

Are we going to include the guys that weren’t wearing a shirt at all in this judgement?

No, but it just seemed bizarre to me.

Of Clayborn or the guys not wearing jerseys?...

I thought he was talking Hightower. But then I looked it up and both Clayborn and Hightower wore jerseys. Tonnes of other guys didn't, including Brady and Edelman. So now I'm confused.

Well, his previous posts indicate that it would be Clayborn.

Must've taken it off towards the end then, since he was just wearing the hoodie when they passed where I was.

Nothing to see here then folks.

(Still getting cut )

There’s some real good veteran defensive players being cut

 

[HockeyMomx2]

I will be so disappointed in our FO if they actually sign Kapernick. He is not good. He is a back up at best and we need our back up to be the next starter. That's not him.

also been linked to Miami....

You guys see the OBJ report?

I dont think they’ll go after him this offseason with the needs they have and the cap situation they’re in, but would have been interesting this pat season. I feel like they wouldn’t have won the SB with him but I would take him this offseason with our needs at WR. But they may not have the cap now

If an all pro talent is getting traded for pennies on the dollar I am pretty sure we will be fielding calls to that team.

We can't draft WRs and Gronk and Jules are well into their back 9s. I'd love to make a move like that. Especially if we can pair them with Gordon and have Jules as our #3.

If we want the backup QB to be the next starter then the best option is Teddy Bridgewater.

 

[CDJ]

Give me the BOAT Blake bortles

He'd be a good option. But hes not outlasting Brady. We'd end up trading him to a team desperate for a QB after a year and he'd want to go start. But if he comes here as a backup someone is going to make him a starter sooner rather than later all our backups get a look elsewhere.

There are some really good safeties out there.

The McCourteys and Chung were great last year. But it might be time to do a Lawyer for Rodney move. Honey Badger or Clinton Dix would look great here.

 

[nhldream]

McAvoy was in

 

[EvilDead]

Give me the BOAT Blake bortles

Oh good God please no. Don't even joke about that. I don't care if Belichick could make him a serviceable back up or even the second coming of Steve Young, keep him away from the New England Patriots at all costs. I would rather 10 Brian Hoyer's on the New England Patriots next year than Blake Bortles.

 

[CDJ]

wow, disrespectful to the BOAT

Depends on Gronk.

If Gronk retires, you go hard after Beckham. Not going to find a better replacement in the short term.

If Gronk stays, you probably pass on him

 

[Fossy21]

Gronk reported to have told teammates he wants another ring. Not sure if accurate, and even if it is, it wouldn’t be conclusive evidence he’s returning, but here’s holding out hope.

 

[N o o d l e s]

It’s pretty unlikely that the Patriots go back to the Super Bowl again next season, so I’m wondering if Gronk would be willing to play for more than another year.

That said anything is possible with Belichick and Brady still in the organization

 

[CDJ]

Oh they’re totally winning the next 2 Super Bowls as far as I’m concerned, don’t tell me otherwise lol


If gronk is back great, if not also great. He made a lot of money and had a HOF career and he’s obviously still very impactful but I also would like him to be able to move around at 50

Plus this draft has some ideal candidates to try and replace him if he were to retire

 

[N o o d l e s]

Young defensive players I was really impressed by this season:

Adam Butler
Deatrich Wise
JC Jackson

They have a real chance to supplement them during this draft and I hope they do

Ps - I had no idea Elandon Roberts was only 24. That seems crazy...
