🏈 How Brady Can Help OJ Howard

[OldPlayer]

I would doubt OJ is going anywhere. My guess is that Gronk will be a 3rd down/ red zone player. He is too old and beat up to play every down and I doubt he is fast enough to beat anyone up the seam anymore. He will use his craftiness and his hands to make plays. Also, the last time I saw Gronk he was super skinny and had lost like 40 lbs. I doubt he is anywhere near playing size or shape which means Tampa will need insurance policy. If I am them I also know that this Gronk thing is probably only for a year at best so they better plan for what's next.. how much could Gronk's presence help OJ learn how to use his size and speed to be dominant.

OJ is now officially trade bait. Since Gronk was traded, his contract comes with him. Brady + Gronk = $$$$$$$$. The Bucs will need to do some creative roster management to be under the cap.

The Patriots made out with this, they converted a 7th round pick to a 4th round pick.

One would need to ask the question if a high paid tight end would be worth it to an organization that doesn't necessarily have an answer at quarterback yet? Would $3.5M truly help Stidham or would it be wise to sign a decent free agent for $1M or less to fill the gap and let the Edelman's, Michele's, and White's carry the load?

I wish the Falcons could afford him. The last couple tight ends have been like 6'7. So a 6'6 guy that could run would be schweet.
