    Patriots and Buccaneers have been discussing a trade for retired TE Rob Gronkowski, per league sources. Gronkowski has one year and $10 million left on his contract. But the two sides are, and have been talking, prior to Thursday’s draft.

    Two years ago before the draft, the Patriots agreed to trade Rob Gronkowski to the Lions, but Gronk informed them he’d opt for retirement over playing with a QB other than Tom Brady. Now after a year of retirement, Gronk hoping for a pre-draft trade to reunite with his former QB.

    Sounds like it's a done deal.

    #Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has taken his physical already, sources say. So the trade should happen: Gronk and a 7th for a 4th rounder.

    Ouch... the Panthers Division jut got even more tough. Carolina needs to focus a rebuild for 3 years from now... when Brady, Brees and Ryan are too old to play.

    And Panthers need to trade for one of the other Buccs Tight Ends now.

    He won't produce to a $10mill cap hit. Bruce Arians is ok with using a Ferrari as a doorstop and that's how he uses his TE. They aren't involved in the offense outside of blocking and dump offs. Like a FB.

    You say that Arians doesn’t use his TE position a lot, but he does like first downs, and Brady knows where to go on 3rd and 5.

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    They'll use their TEs plenty. Because Brady, not because Arians.

    I say that because OJ Howard is one of the biggest untapped potential TEs out there. Even Brate is a solid pass catcher and they just never let them be a center piece in the offense. Gronks going to be used because of Brady, not because the offense gets centered around him.

    My thinking is he won't be used enough for a $10mill contract. He's going to underwhelm with his stats, but keep Brady standing with blocks. But if I remember correctly, Brate and Howard are actually plus blockers too, and combined make like $3mill less than Gronk.

    To me the biggest reason Gronk will fall short of the hype is because he just missed a year and he's not exactly young by NFL standards.

    Rumour was he absolutely destroyed his physical.

    But physically fit vs football fit is very different. He's one muscle injury away from irrelevance

    And it's not like he's been known as a picture of health over his career.
