How about local boy comes back "home" and is injured in cheap shot. Buffalo medical staff, despite saving life of a previous Bills' TE, unable to do so and he is paralyzed for life. Player who injured him is suspended for a game but it really did not make a big difference since he needed to rehab an minor injury for a game. 1 Quote
Don Otreply Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 There is a a substantial chance Gronkowski doesn’t want to play for Buffalo, after all he is patriot scum through and through, has he ever had a good thing to say about the Bills? I could be wrong of course, but I’ve not heard so much as a rumor of him doing so. The odds are pretty darn low he plays here, and I’m more than okay with that. Go Bills!!! 1 1 1 Quote
newcam2012 Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) It depends on if he's healthy. Can his body hold up? I don't care about the cheap shots, his Patriot past, or his big mouth. A somewhat healthy Gronk I would welcome. He is a leader, a winner, and can go a long way to lead the Bills to a Super Bowl victory. If the Bill's Drs clear him; then bring him aboard for a decent price. The Bills are in win now mode and Gronk fits this mentality. Edited February 28, 2022 by newcam2012 1 1 1 Quote

Because time flies while you are waiting for the perfect additions..........ask Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay fans how easy it's been since Rodgers won the one that he did. 2 1 1 1 Quote
GreggTX Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I voted yes, but only at a fair price. We need depth at TE and Gronk is still pretty good. We'd have to play more 2TE formations, but that's fine if we let Beasley go. We still have bigger needs like OL, WR2, Edge, CB2 (upgrade from Wallace), RB depth. I'd love to be able to keep Harry and sign a guy like Ioannidis to replace Star. Still, having Gronk would still be nice. We'd have to add more speed outside to take full advantage of a Knox/Gronk tandem. 1 Quote

Double tight end threat with Allen would be awesome. I get the Tre thing but that was a while ago. If he is healthy and will come on the cheap, it would be a great story and seems like no brainer. We are the one who initially passed on bringing a BLO kid back to Buffalo. Go Bills. 2 Quote

You misread...........I said "get more from their running game" not "run the ball more". The Bills RB's averaged only 4.3 yards per carry in 2021........which was very close to league average. Hopefully a return of Aaron Kromer and Gronk/Knox 12 personnel sets could allow the Bills to get back to averaging closer to that 5+ yards per carry they averaged when Kromer was last in Buffalo. In turn, the better running game and Gronk's propensity for big gains in the passing game could help Allen get his yards per attempt passing back up near 8. Last season that figure was a lowly 6.8.........which tells the story of an offense that needed the QB to tuck the ball and run for a ton of yardage to keep drives going. Time to be better around Josh Allen and put less hard mileage on him in the process. 1 1 Quote

Fans generally lack the self-awareness to know that they grossly over-react to player interactions on the field.............fans are like the parent who watches their married son or daughter argue with their spouse......and then can never forgive the kid-in-law even after their own child has long forgotten about it. Hanging on to ***** long after the parties involved actually do is just stupid. This is all very eloquently stated so I guess it must be true. I feel very stupid as if I grossly lack self awareness. Thank you Tony Robbins. Oh wait, no I don’t. I still think they were not regular old aw shucks plays. They were complete piece-of-***** dirty plays. You must be in marketing, Badol. You sure know how to polish a turd. Now back to my blissful ignorance… 1 Quote
Greg S Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 One year deal at a decent cost. Why not? He can still be a weapon in the passing game for Allen to use. 2 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 At the right price he's perfect. Something we don't have on offense. Physical middle field target, good blocker. 3 Quote

He actually had 15 rushes in the late season game against Atlanta. 200+ rushes for Josh Allen doesn't make for a good plan for the 2022 season though. Need to be able to run the ball better with the RB's without having to expose Allen to all of those hits. 2 hours ago, Bongo said: Now back to my blissful ignorance… Good place for ya'.........well stated. 1 Quote

Mark Vader Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Are there no other options at Tight End for the Bills? There must be another player out there that the Bills can sign. Quote
