Lake209 34 Posted August 27, 2019 Roto reporting earlier today that Gronk has a “...40% chance to return...”; that he hasnt ruled out the possibility and that the Pats may try to sign him. Anyone hear of this before today? Any more info out there? [Dropped my last pick & added him..even on the off chance...] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pee-diddy 27 Posted August 27, 2019 I don't think so (not yet anyways)... ESPN article: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27475715/gronkowski-football-was-bringing-down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted August 27, 2019 Pretty sure he just endorsed a CBD company. Doesn't seem like something a player looking to return to the NFL would be doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 986 Posted August 27, 2019 I picked him up on the rumor. Worst that happens is I cut him for someone that is hardly owned. Best is he comes back after training camp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 84 Posted August 27, 2019 Gronk only had one good game down the stretch last season, and historically, he's overrated from a fantasy perspective. Don't get me wrong, he's an awesome TE and had some great stats in certain years, but outside of his playoff game (fantasy playoffs) in Round One (I believe?) last season, he wasn't good. I wouldn't waste a roster spot on him. He was on the NFL Network today (Satellite radio) and said he wasn't in a good place while playing. His body was just to beat up. He's lost a lot of weight too. I hope he comes back as I enjoyed watching him play, but I don't think he would be much more than a decoy at this point. Those injuries come back to haunt you later in life, so staying retired would be in his best interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted August 27, 2019 I don't think so, but doesn't really matter.....he looks more like Brady than Gronk nowdays. His game was physicality....way too skinny now. https://chumley.barstoolsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02/Gronk-skinny.jpg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lake209 34 Posted August 28, 2019 Outstanding comments & references, all; thank you. Am holding him for a few weeks on name, experience, and connection w/Brady & the Pats. Should think or hope that if (if) he makes a run, it would ONLY be to play football at a winning level; aka: at full strength. Bellicheck & Brady: hate losing. That’s got to be at least top-10 TE worthy right there. Plus trade-bait: have need of a non-sexy RB2... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted August 28, 2019 Gronk only played 13 games last season, and on a per-game basis was tied with Jack Doyle for TE9--and that was when he was in football shape and had participated in camp, and guys like Greg Olsen and Delanie Walker were injured. I don't believe he would be a top 10 TE if he returned at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,755 Posted August 30, 2019 OK so what are we doing here? I see that hes got more talking about leaving the door open. Is he worth a speculative add? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not in my opinion, no....and that's assuming he actually comes back at some point. One of the greatest TE's in NFL history. Loved owning him in FF and watching his dominance each week....but he is only a shell of his former self. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
