This is my new guy 💪💪💪💪

He will be a better NFL TE than a college TE. They didn’t give him enough targets in that offense, too many weapons. He’s very good in the passing game and as a blocker. He even went up against George Karlaftis.

pass...but hoping Gronk would come home for a SB run for a 1 year min deal, 

 

I'm sure Gronk would cost more than a minimum deal, but he still might be willing to take a true "hometown" discount to play for his hometown team with a real shot to add one more ring before he hangs 'em up.  As for the hatred because the played for the Pats - get over it.  That's the team that drafted him (he didn't choose to play there) and he hasn't played there in a few years (and he did choose NOT to play there on his last contract).  As to the hatred due to the Tre White incident a few years ago, it was a cheap shot and stupid play in the heat of battle, but players in all major sports change teams all the time and they are able to work it out and get past these things.  If the Bills and Tre think that Gronk would help the team win a SB, I'm sure everyone would figure out a way to forgive and move forward.

Come on....he's done and Engram has done nothing to consider signing him

[billsfan89]

I like him as a cheap TE2 if he comes cheap. A solid vet who can contribute in a more limited role.

Is he related to anyone famous?  It's sort of a prerequisite around here.

[KGun12TD]

He's not as good as he was a few years ago...hard NO!!!

[Direhard Fan]

After what gronk did to White I do not want anything to do with him.

[Greg S]

Per the NY Post the Giants are also releasing RB Devontae Booker. He had 593 yards rushing tied with Barkley for the team lead with 17 fewer carries. It would cost 3.1 million against the cap this season.

I think people hate him more for his dirty hit on Tre.

 

And his douchebagginess.

Engram>Rudolph

 

That being said, Rudolph is probably the better fit and more affordable option.

I wanted him in the draft, which means the Bills will probably sign him once he's ready to retire...

[Southern_Bills]

Something tells me if Beane wanted him he could have got him dirt cheap from the Giants instead of him being released.

He was banned from playing with the other reindeer

 

Well..if he catches a few TD passes, then all the other reindeer will love him....reindeer can be fickle lot..

1.  Sees veteran free agent thread.

2.  Reads “if we can get him on the cheap” post.

3.  Has a satisfying chuckle and moves on.

Rudolph's production has gone severely south the past 3 seasons. The goal is to win the Super Bowl not add below average depth.

[hjnick]

If the Giants new GM and Daboll are smart, they will jettison all the crap (high cap numbers) from the team, suck up this coming year, and start building a successful well fun franchise.

Lol.

[davefan66]

I’d like to see what Sweeney can do this season.  Feel he can be a good TE.  

 

Don't want Rudolph, would rather have Engram.  Would rather have Gronk over either of them.

 

I want the Bills to put the pedal to the metal this off-season and fix our problem areas.  I want a team that cruises through the regular season and gets home field.  Whatever it takes.
