'In what is considered maybe the upset of the roster, the Western New York native was kept over Jerome Felton, one of the best blocking fullbacks in the NFL. But Gronk won’t be asked to totally replicate that blocking. It will be part of his job, but he was held on to due to his versatility to be able to play H-back and tight end, if needed, but also for his special teams play. Felton wasn’t going to be able to contribute as much there and was making over $2 million the team now saves against the salary cap.'
