Bucs Get Gronk To Hang Up His Wrestling Speedo

[oxrageous]

Hasn't finished a season since 2015 Has an, according to him, "robot arm." And the main reason he retired in the first place? He has had a large amount of concussions. That doesn't magically get better.

I think it may be time to trade you to Swamp Gas.

The guy's body is broken down. He may feel a bit better. But, you have no response to the fact he hasn't play a full 16 game season since 2011. He will be good. He won't be the same Gronk. You are stoned if you think so.

Now what are the Bucs gonna do with OJ Howard?

Team him up with gronk. Brate is more reliable, better football player but I doubt the Bucs will pay brate and gronk. Oj's contract fits better.

Oj Howard had one game his whole career . That championship game made him rich. No way in he'll he starts over gronk.

. Does Tampa Tampa have worthy wide receivers?

Probably the best 1-2 in the NFL. Not sure about their worthiness though.

Whether or not he'll play 16 games I don't know, but he'll be the same Gronk on the field. Whenever he played, even in his final season in NE, he was dominant.

There is some kind of bias clouding your judgement.

I'd rather have my balls cut off and be forced to vote for a democrat than go to Swamp Azz.

He doesn’t need another shot to the noggin.

Man the money the bucs are going to bring into tampa bay this year. I might actually watch some games now that "eat a w" is gone

 

[deuce]

I'm impressed with the "win now" attitude the Buc's are displaying...

Yeah they seem to be going all in on the next two years. Problem is gotta go through brees, and i think carolina will be better this year

I thought the main reason Gronk retired is to avoid being traded to Detroit?

No. It was a hilarious story though. But, he initially retired because of the 10+ surgeries and 20+ concussions. Gronk said his family talked him into it because they were worried. I also get the impression he was tired of playing for Belichick and sick of the grind. It was a good move by the bucs. They overpaid, but nice move. At Brady's age, the more weapons the better.

So you’re still sticking to your story that he’s a backup?

They already paid Brate, gave him his second contract a year or two ago.

Yeah, I think brate restructured already this off-season so not sure how that plays into it. But brates salary is about twice as much as Howard's.

 

[Oscar the G]

They overpaid, but nice move.

gronk for a comp 4th isn't too much, and they got a 7th back. Gave pick 139 for gronk and pick 241.

 

[oxrageous]

You also have to consider Gronk's huge popularity and merchandise sales......he was a steal for the Bucs.

 

[neteng]

I have no clue what condition Gronk's body is in but I do see the value in adding someone like him to the roster because he knows how Brady thinks and plays at full speed.

16 games? Good thing he won't have to worry about that, since the season probably won't last past November. LOL
