BuffaloRebound Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 My guess is Beane would’ve been happy to land Gronk, but driving his price up might have been the ultimate motive. Tampa will have to cut Brate or Howard now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is that that if this report is true, Beane clearly values obtaining a good TE. The top 3 available TEs have signed elsewhere, meaning we're less likely to fill that hole. Don't love that aspect of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 So much for the "this is the Bills way". We got turned down by Watt, Gronk and I am sure some others will come out.

dpberr Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Gronk is a smart football player. He knows and accepts that he has had the most success with Tom Brady. Why screw it up? I don't understand players who decide on their own to leave great playing environments over a couple bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he's able to find a TE who offers ~ the same value he attributed to Gronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our top 3 free agents all signed back here....they know the Bills way more than any external player. I think that says more than two other guys not signing here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking at a team that will compete for a Super Bowl next season if they make the right moves.

The Bills are VERY bad! Gronk chose the lowly Super Bowl Champion Buccaneers that he played with last year... who happen to have the only QB he’s ever played with over Buffalo. Our culture is VERY clearly the issue. Just because a team is “in on” a player doesn’t mean they made a serious offer. In this case they made Gronk a serious offer... we have no idea what the offer looked like for Watt (who straight up took money over playing for a contender) or anyone else.

I'm sure this office is still being very active though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm not stressed about Gronk's rationale here or thinking there's a stigma about the Bills. Take TE/Gronk/whatever out of it. All I'm getting at is that Beane valued Position A highly, as indicated by his making a competitive offer to one of the top 3 players at Position A. The top 3 players at Position A have signed elsewhere. Beane clearly values this position highly, so I'm curious how he plans to fill the hole he believes is there.
