Any time I hear "Rob Gronkowski", my brain thinks immediately about how we drafted Torell Troup one pick ahead of him.

I still say that troupe could’ve been a player. Had he not injured his back derailed his career

Wondering how you were able to learn how many toes he has? Lol, Were you both having a conversation that somehow lead to his feet/toes? 

Rex Ryan told him.

As I sit here wondering what could help this suddenly floundering franchise it occurred to me that signing Gronk would help tremendously. The value(s) he would bring would be the following:

 

1. A great mentor for our 54M TE Dawson Knox, kind of like Von is to Rosseau.

 

2. Immediate help for the OL in blocking. 
 

3.I probably should have listed this one first. A great, great receiving threat, help compensate for our weak #2 WR position.

 

4. What a better story than hometown boy helps rescues a perennial loser of a franchise,  the Bills finally get to a Super Bowl again and hopefully win it this time. Gronk would help stop the bleeding and counterbalance the potential regression that this franchise is facing. 
 

5. It’s all about business, right? What a marketing coup this would be for the front office, franchise and community when it comes to merchandising.

 

6. Last but not least a move like this might be just about the one thing that could save and/or protect Beane and McDermott’s butts.

I stopped reading after you called us perennial losers

 

I guess our back to back AFL titles…. 88 89 90 91 93 95 20 21 22 divisional champ teams are losers 

 

Not too mention the only teams to go to 4 straight super bowls , a feat that will probably never be broken 

 

yes we are losers I don’t even know why I like this team

I wouldn't frown at signing him, he may be motivated too by Kelce now tying his TD record in the postseason.  I wouldn't see this as an end all be all solution, but I think he can still offer enough to be a good player for this team on the right deal.  

[NewEra]

I’d love to sign Gronk.  It’s been my hope to run more 2TE sets to help the run AND pass game.  Knox and Gronk could be tough.  
 

I’d question how much he has left in the tank though.  
 

Upgrading TE2 or making sure Morris gains another 10 LBs and improves his blocking would really help our O imo.

Should probably grab Bruce Smith to play opposite Rousseau and get Stevie Johnson in the slot while we're at it.

Betting favorites for Super Bowl 2022, 2023 = floundering franchise, perennial losers.  GTFO

[UNPAID BILLS]

Darnell Washington (TE) is the answer with the 27th pick in the upcoming draft.  He is a beast....6'7" , 275, been pancaking S and LB's for 3 years down here at UGA...untapped as a pass catching weapon. 

[ALLinALLEN]

No, it really isn't.

[JimBob2232]

No.  Gisicki.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

OP has been a member since 2004.  Never crossed paths with DC Tom? 🤔

[947]

Signing Gronk now would feel just like when we signed Frank Gore. It's 3-4 years too late & costs way more than it should for the production.

Can't block. Utterly useless to us.  Just a glorified WR, only slower.

I cant believe that one week removed from scoring 10pts, with a chance to play kc in atlanta, so many ppl ate thumbing their nose at this.

Seems like a no brainer. We need a weapon... we need blocking... we need moew guys that have won, we dont want to part with assets to get that, and heres the greatest TE ever, a free agent.

Its not a pipe dream either. Hes flirted with it 2years now. Looking at a one year deal, likely with a voidable 2nd year to lessen the hit

 

This place is absolutely absurd sometimes

Old ass Gronk is not helping this team.  I had the same thought as 947 above... its like signing Gore.  Great to have the star name on the team but thats all it is, a name. The player is done.

Can we add Charles Romes and Mario Clark as well. Our secondary needs help

Even if he could play, he's probably going to want around $8M to do it based on what he made in Tampa. Combine that with what Knox is getting, that's way too much to have tied up in TEs, a position that Dorsey still needs to figure out what he's doing with.  

 

When you look at our offense, TE isn't one of the areas that immediately screams for attention like the O-line and WR2 do.
