Nelius Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) I like the idea of Gronk but he's really kind of an annoying person that doesn't do as well in front of the cameras as he believes. Very robotic, kind of awkward. Watch the One Bite pizza review he did for a solid example. He's like a WWF/NFL hybrid right now and I can't really take him seriously. He's also old. If the NFL ultimately ignores him he'll be wrestling within a year, bank on it. Edited January 18, 2023 by Nelius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Every story with him is he almost signed with someone, Bills, Pats, Tampa. I've almost done a lot of things too. He just wants to stay in the news. He's becoming annoying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to do a bump where he jumped off a balcony and he was afraid to do it, so 75 year old vince mcmahon did it first to show him that it was safe.

Rubes Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Often thought about which was worse...Troup over Gronk, or Whitner over Ngata. Whitner at least had a few decent years, but while Ngata was awesome Gronk is probably the best all-time at the position. 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipster19 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 As I sit here wondering what could help this suddenly floundering franchise it occurred to me that signing Gronk would help tremendously. The value(s) he would bring would be the following: 1. A great mentor for our 54M TE Dawson Knox, kind of like Von is to Rosseau. 2. Immediate help for the OL in blocking. 3.I probably should have listed this one first. A great, great receiving threat, help compensate for our weak #2 WR position. 4. What a better story than hometown boy helps rescues a perennial loser of a franchise, the Bills finally get to a Super Bowl again and hopefully win it this time. Gronk would help stop the bleeding and counterbalance the potential regression that this franchise is facing. 5. It’s all about business, right? What a marketing coup this would be for the front office, franchise and community when it comes to merchandising. 6. Last but not least a move like this might be just about the one thing that could save and/or protect Beane and McDermott’s butts. 2 2 1 2 1 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't frown at signing him, he may be motivated too by Kelce now tying his TD record in the postseason. I wouldn't see this as an end all be all solution, but I think he can still offer enough to be a good player for this team on the right deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I’d love to sign Gronk. It’s been my hope to run more 2TE sets to help the run AND pass game. Knox and Gronk could be tough. I’d question how much he has left in the tank though. Upgrading TE2 or making sure Morris gains another 10 LBs and improves his blocking would really help our O imo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Signing Gronk now would feel just like when we signed Frank Gore. It's 3-4 years too late & costs way more than it should for the production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant believe that one week removed from scoring 10pts, with a chance to play kc in atlanta, so many ppl ate thumbing their nose at this. Seems like a no brainer. We need a weapon... we need blocking... we need moew guys that have won, we dont want to part with assets to get that, and heres the greatest TE ever, a free agent. Its not a pipe dream either. Hes flirted with it 2years now. Looking at a one year deal, likely with a voidable 2nd year to lessen the hit This place is absolutely absurd sometimes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he could play, he's probably going to want around $8M to do it based on what he made in Tampa. Combine that with what Knox is getting, that's way too much to have tied up in TEs, a position that Dorsey still needs to figure out what he's doing with. When you look at our offense, TE isn't one of the areas that immediately screams for attention like the O-line and WR2 do.
