Freak-O Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Rocky Landing said: 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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we have this huge hole at TE. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Riverboat Ritchie said: 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.

davefan66 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 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.

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.

Motor26 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Bring him in. He’s a beast in the red zone and at blocking. Can run 12 personnel with him. Add as much firepower to the offense as possible. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) I think people need to understand the version of Gronk we are pursuing. As he has gotten older one of two things happened, maybe even both. He has matured or he understands his previous persona doesn't age well. If you listen to interviews last year this was a much more refined Gronk. I would also have to think Tre and other Bills would be supportive of the move if the front office is. It's not like we have a history of spending on poor teammates. As Bills fans we don't like him for a lot of reasons, that said does he help us win? Yes. Will he be a distraction/juvenile type player we have seen in the past? No. Get it done Edited March 2, 2022 by KzooMike 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I'm pretty conflicted, and I sure would not want to pay him $8 million a year to come here. That's probably the money he is expecting, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBillsForLife Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Gronk's attempted murder of Tre white is an unforgivable sin. But at the same time he's both the GOAT TE and Buffalo's prodigal son. As long as Tre is ok with it and Gronk is finally over the Bills drafting Torell Troup instead of him he would be a huge addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 He'd be a great signing. He's a proven winner which would instill even more confidence in the team, he is a phenomenal blocker which would help out the run game, he is still a very productive receiver and having him and Knox in our 12 personnel formations would give lots of protection to Josh, improve the run game and give us a phenomenal play action ability. Even with our 1 TE formations, they could rotate and keep each other fresh. Sign me up all day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
