He did publicly apologize, and we don't know if he did so personally as well, so I'm 100% with you that if Tre's over it, then so am I

He has not publicly  apologized.  In fact, he has publicly defended his actions.  He will always be a POS in my opinion.

Glad the Antonio Brown, Zack Ertz, and J.J. Watt bus has room for more.

Not sure how anyone is against an influx of talent anywhere offensively…. The whole “waaaa Gronk tried to hurt Tre and played for the Patriots” schtick is pretty immature in my opinion. The NFL is full of jerks…. I’m sure plenty are on the Bills. The goal isn’t to field a team of good people, it’s to field a winner. 

How in the world is it immature?  Its not mature to be upset about a player from our team who was elbowed lying on the ground in the back of the head?  Scott, I bet you’re a sucker punch guy huh?

Tim Graham says in the article that Gronk apologized to Tre at some point and Tre accepted the apology. As much as some of us still hold a grudge against him for that brutal unprovoked hit, the team and Tre in particular apparently do not. That's good enough for me.

Was unaware Gronk even said anything about it. As long as our guys are cool with it go ahead then. I personally dont want him but hey if it helps us into the big show Im for it

In an offense that had no other options. Godwin, AB both out. In the Bills offense Gronkowski is 4th option at best 

Ab played most of the year, Godwin played 14 and lead in catches, and if "no other options" means Mike Evans lol and Fournette had 70 catches on the year... but yeah other than that 🙄

 Tb was the one team you could argue had a better receiving core than us. 

Nice try 😆😆😆

I'm pretty conflicted, and I sure would not want to pay him $8 million a year to come here. That's probably the money he is expecting, though.

You don’t have to pay him … and what do you think NFL players at the top of the food chain cost?  Vet minimum and a Costco membership?

The whole incident was as notable for how every single Bills player could only wave and point afterwards.  Pitts doing the matador and Brown and Poyer looking for flags.

 

So soft...

 

Anyway, this would be a great move-----just to watch the heads explode here!

He is a cheap shot fan as we have seen from many posts.

Apparently you did not see Tampa play late in the year and in the playoffs. A team without weapons.  That is why they lost. You need to get past the easy stats and see how the team actually performed.  They had a better receiving core with Godwin and AB but not even close without.  Again, Gronk would be the fourth best option on the Bills.  I am ok with it if they want to pay him appropriately, but he is no savior, nor do the Bills need one.  Their offense is already one of the best in the league.  

[Doc Brown]

He'd be a great signing.  Besides that T. White body slam has there been any other incidents of similar behavior?

When Knox went out there was a significant downgrade to Sweeney.  You always want to shoot for more depth if you can afford it.  Just look at the Rams.  We were saying did they really need OBJ knowing they already had Kupp and Woods?  Then Woods gets hurt and the Rams pry don't make and win the SB without him.

It was ok to need the Vikings WR1A though …

Who never won a super bowl. Who isn’t from a team that’s our arch rival. Who wasn’t ring chasing. Who took a chance on a burgeoning team. Why is this so hard to understand?

I’ve seen a lot of bad takes here over the years (and your takes are usually good ones), but this might be the worst TSW take of All Time.  Not wanting to overpay for an injury-prone vet I get, and maybe folks just don’t like Gronk and yes he’s a douche.

 

But THIS - holy hell.  Pin this one to the Wall of Shame.  
 

Stacking your roster with talent to win championships “feels cheap” to you?

 

Incredible.

Your loyalty blows. Just plug the team with whatever super star you need to say you won the super bowl, regardless of whose on it. Make it the NBA.

I would LOVE for this to happen and my gut tells me Tre White would, too.  It was one stupid play.  One.

 

I’m sure Tre would give him a giant hug on the podium when they lifted the Lombardi Trophy together. 

 

I hope people don’t judge me on my worst moment in life. That wouldn’t be pretty. Gronk is a pro who does nothing but win. I, personally, can get over it.

Gronk's attempted murder of Tre white is an unforgivable sin.  But at the same time he's both the GOAT TE and Buffalo's prodigal son.  As long as Tre is ok with it and Gronk is finally over the Bills drafting Torell Troup instead of him he would be a huge addition.

 

With all due respect, I think the drafting of Torell Troup is the unforgivable sin here.

I'm not against adding more talent to the offense.

 

Personally I'd rather add another Wide Receiver than a Tight End.

 

Like I said, I don't want to pay big money to an older player with an injury history who would essentially be the back-up Tight End. Forget it.

Is this thread going to reach legendary status like a Zach Ertz thread?

Aww sh*t @ScottLaw.........I think you struck a nerve.

 

Parents of "frustrating" adult children often ask them "when are you going to grow up?" when they are really saying "when are you going to stop making such dumb decisions?".

 

Get the goat, cheese.   That will work out well when it eats your vinyl siding and scratches the sh*t out of your prius. 😉

I hope Gronk comes here!  It is my top hope for the offense.  It is the way I hope the FO puts in $8M on the skills position. Gronk elevates the offensive potential in a multitude of ways.  And another TE is definitely needed.  TEs take a beating, both Gronk and Knox missed time.

 

As far as Tre is concerned...I'm sorry what?  Who is running the show here.  The FO, McBeane bring in the players.  Tre will need to put his big boy pants on and get with the program.

He was their third or fourth option most of the year.

[RyanC883]

didn’t we try tk get him a year or two ago?

Just skip the draft then …gotta be loyal to the ones that got you there, right?  Don’t want some uppity young stud stealing a roster spot, do you? 😂😂
