very conflicted. This signing would be a test of my fandom tbh. Would I feel right cheering gronk, a player I have despised and had been a menace to our team?

 

pfffft.  NO....I can hear the "but but but" chorus already........pfft part 2. blech

 

lol im kinda stubborn. He is on my official **** list and I dont assign that to a player lightly just sayin'

If you don’t go with your guys who got you there, what’s the point of a team? Stacking your roster feels cheap. 

You make no sense. Whomever we bring in free agency wouldn’t be “ our guys”. It’s not like it’s the Yankees , Dodgers , or Red Sox that blow out spending every year to win.

We’re talking as if we didn’t have one of the best passing offenses in the league last year. Like we have this huge hole at TE.

In my admittedly homerist opinion, it isn't just the talent, and coaching that has made the Bills a great team that is a favorite for the SB next season-- it's the culture that Beane, and McD have created. Character, and culture matter, especially for this Bills team. It's the way it's been built. I believe this, and I'm not sure that Gronkowsky fits the Bills' culture.

Gronk doesn’t strike me as a diva, nor as a locker room cancer. He’s just a big dumb jock with lots of talent. I think he’ll fit the culture just fine.

We do have a big hole at TE... NFL teams are supposed to have two capable TEs on their roster. Right now we have one. Sweeney is not a rosterable player, as a result we had 1 active TE on gamedays at the end of the year. Whether Gronk or someone else we need to find a capable TE2.

Ask Tre how he feels about it

would not surprise me if he went with the program and  forgave and moved on. Tre White is nothing but a class act from everything Ive read or know about him.

 

I do think this kind of signing would be very contested even within 1bd...this best be vetted Very carefully..YEP

We can always use a 2nd good TE since injuries always happen. Your not seeing the potential of having two good TE on the field at the same time. That can be a huge problem for teams not just in the passing game but for the run game as well and he does both.

I don’t see much of a downside if they could get him for right price. Yeah, he’s a big dummy but he is all business when it’s time to play. I also remember him talking fondly about Bills growing up and pretending he was Eric Moulds growing up. We are the ones that passed on him and should have drafted him in the second round that year. 

That right price will be 7M minimum. Take all the Sanders money and go get homeboy.

Is it somehow better that the view will be we needed the patriots hall of fame te to win the super bowl? I want to celebrate with guys that have been here and put together not a ring chaser from our biggest rival.

I can’t believe someone actually has this viewpoint.

His “hate” for Buffalo is manufactured.  Dude is a huge doofus, doubt he really hates on us for not drafting him the way his career has gone.

 

As far as the Tre hit.  I guess I’d leave it up to Tre whether or not we sign him.  If he’s good, I’d probably be good with it.  
 

The dude can still play.  Just doubt he doesn’t follow brady to his next team which I believe would be the Niners.

I really hate the thought of this.

 

Is there really no other Tight End that we can sign who could help us?

 

If it happens then give him 1 year 3.5 million + incentives. Gronkowski is 32 and damaged goods, that's the truth. If he doesn't like it, then he can suck it.

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.
