Early CTE?

  Hard to believe some people want that scumbag on the Bills. ***** him, he should harassed out of Buffalo every time he visits. His elbow cast smash of Tres head way after the play was unforgivable. He should have been suspended multiple games. I'll be thoroughly disgusted if he is ever on the Bills.

This board is hilarious.  Don't want Gronk because he elbowed one of the Bills. But let's sign Hunt who kicked an underage girl. Brilliant!

Why not post a poll asking about all four possibilities?

 

I want no one else's trash - Grunk or Hunt.

At the right price he's perfect. Something we don't have on offense. Physical middle field target, good blocker.

I gotta newsflash for ya. He'll want a minimum of 7 million. Besides it's highly unlikely he'll play for anyone but tommy.

Maybe but he almost signed in Buffalo. The way Beane works he's gone back after players he didn't get.

He legit talked about how he was in conversation with Buffalo about coming home before he signed with TB.

Both Tre and Gronk have moved on, fans need to as well.

Good point.   That was the case with John Brown.   Wiffed the first attempt.........got him the next year.

Why is this a "newsflash"?    

 

Gronk put up 802 yards at 14.6 yards per reception and 6 TD in 2021..........those are huge numbers would be all-time kinda' numbers for a Bills TE.

 

If they release Cole Beasley, who put up a punchless 692 yards on 8.5 ypr and 1 TD..............they save $6.1M.

 

Roll a couple million of Gronk's $7M into a voidable 2023(like Sanders and Addison this year) and it's a net savings on this years cap to get a player who gives you MUCH more explosiveness in the passing game and an elite blocker in the run game..........and TE is a position where they have ZERO depth.

And E Sanders was a multi-year effort.

I hope you realize that $7M would be a home town discount.  Gronk > J Smith (12.5), R Tonyan (est 10.5), D Schultz (est 12.3).

[Patrick Moran]

He's a GREAT football fit for the offense.

These takes are hilarious.    

 

Please quit your Bills fandom if a local kid who has gone on to become the greatest football player ever produced by the area..........a HOF'er and legit "best of all time at his position" discussion player...........comes back to play for the Bills.

Fans have a more emotional approach and it's understandable. I highly doubt the players do.  Gronk did something stupid in the heat of the moment, four years ago.  Beane literally offered him a contract a year ago, so that is a non-issue

 

The issue is what it would take to get him contractually and determining on if both he and Knox can play together effectively or if it would negatively impact Knox having Gronk on the roster.   That's literally where it starts and ends.

Diggs and Sanders as well.

Making the offense better at what Josh Allen does from the pocket..........that should be the focus.........and Beane seems to know that based on his comments about OL being priority #1.

 

In theory, 12 personnel would be an extension of improving the OL while, with a player like Gronk,  still being able to spread the field in the passing game.

 

If they can get better push in the run game,   that can only help the play action game,    which Allen is among the best in the league at executing.

 

Because of the finish of the season,   fans forget that the struggles at the LOS lead to a huge drop in average pass attempt production for Allen.........from 7.9 in 2020 to 6.8 in 2021..........which isn't something we should have ever seen again after his breakout 2020.

 

But 125+ combined pressures and sacks will do that.

 

Running Allen 10 times per game to cover up for blocking issues worked well down the stretch but isn't a 20 game season solution.

This is the same board that didn't want a repentant Vick after doing his time, for his crime, still in his prime. But did anyone ever tell you that Fitz wore a wedding ring while playing? That was worth 4 more years of drought, minimum.

They talked last year, I think he ultimately retires but if Gronk wanted a cheap home coming I’d be for it.

 

He’s a TE2 upgrade for sure.

Absolutely. He can still play. Even if he’s 70% of what he used to be he’d be great in the red zone and for the running game.

 

I absolutely could not care less about his salary (nor should any of us since professionals can handle that) or what he did to White. It’s football. Emotions run high.

What kind of A hole wouldn't want to cheer for a guy that repeatedly tortured pets to death and financed a dog fighting ring!  After all, he appologized after going to jail and running out of money!  Bunch of snowflakes I tell ya!

Yeah but just a 66.8% catch percentage (and actually, he's only had 2 seasons above 70%).

I want to win, I think Gronk helps the Bills win, so ***** yeah I want Gronk!
