To me, the headline is "Bill Belichick thinks Gronk's injuries are such a concern that he isn't worth a 4th round pick" That'd be a pretty fake news headline. Something more accurate would be "Belichick realizes Gronk never wants to play for him again and gets what value he can out of a retired guy". Exactly. Literally was about to post the same thing before reading the rest of the page.😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he's one of the best ever, no? And wouldn't sitting out a year just increase his health? Realistically, he'd net a third (maybe even a second), with nothing coming back. But this is an accommodation trade, all the way. And that's cool. Belichick showing some class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're going to pigeonhole Godwin/Evans into an offense which they don't fit instead? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he's one of the best ever doesn't mean age doesn't affect those levels of players. He looked in rough shape the last time he was out there. He may be more healthy by sitting out a year but as someone said his type of back issue isn't ever going to "heal" fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say I dont' think it's a helpful acquisition. He probably fits better than Howard at this point, and obviously having Brady is a help. I just think the impact is going to be way overstated. Plus, with Evans and Godwin, I do think that there is a diminishing return issue in effect. Gronk just has to stand there and the WRs have more room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans, sure. Godwin is going to be a perfect fit for this style, so not really sure how you reached that conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an unpopular opinion regarding Brady, sure, but not sure what else about it is silly. They're revamping a team to be built around a 45 year old QB and his TE who retired 2 years ago after being oft-injured? Sure. They're going to be right back in the QB market in 2 years.

Nabbs4u Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Brady Evans Godwin Gronk Howard/Brate They will be in heavy 12 personnel. Only question now is who they add at RB? Do they go and draft a Swift, Dobbins, Taylor or CEH? Trade for a Fournett or sign a McCoy, Freeman Ware to add a veteran presence? Should be fun!

I'd expect OJ to get traded, but that doesn't take away from the fact they are paying Cameron Brate and should still feature 12 personnel. I'd be very surprised if the Bucs don't use one of their 2nd round picks on a feature RB. Ronald Jones is not that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brady fails they still have an identical roster to last year, minus a 4th rounder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
