Gronk retires

[LinvilleGorge]

What would be the advantage for us to trade Olsen for a late round pick?

Good fug him. I won't forget that insanely dirty hit on Tre'Davious White. He should have been suspended the rest of the season for that poo.

Three other AFC East fanbases just cheered. The guy was a monster on the field and had a ball off the field, too. Good luck to him.

And yeah, HoF is where he'll be. Nine years is a pretty long career for a pro football player, and his game tape, stats and rings will seal the deal.

Gronk doing something...smart?  Wow

 

But seriously, congrats to the GOAT TE and thank goodness he's done now. 

Right on. The guy’s a sophomoric dunce who gets away with dumb poo like his “69” routine he pulled not once but TWICE on female reporters simply because he’s labeled just a “big kid” and a “frat boy” by the fawning media. Meanwhile, Cam gets roasted for being caught off guard by a good question from Jourdan Rodrique. Sure, he is/was a great player, but he’s also a big, dumb asshole.

In the playoffs, Gronk took over games late. In the biggest moments, when Brady had to have a completion, it was going to Gronk. He was such a physical presence on the field.

It might take a bit for the New England offense to adjust. I have no doubt Bilicheck and McDaniels will do it, and they're no stranger to slow starts anyway. I still don't see anyone in the AFC East able to hang with them. Miami's moves this offseason tell you they are already thinking about Tua. Buffalo and New York are still developing their QBs.

Getting rid of a worthless extension taking cap space that should have never happened in the first place.

But I agree I mean at this point might as well just chalk it up as a loss.

Except that's not the case at all. Greg would cost us an additional $700k against the cap this year if he's not on the roster. It's literally cheaper in cap terms to keep him.

Do you really believe Olsen is going to finish a full season this year?

Probably not, but see my above post. There's no advantage to trading him.

I'd rather have Olsen on the roster for as long as he lasts and as a mentor to Thomas than a late round pick and an additional $700k cap hit. If we could get legit trade compensation and/or legit cap relief I might feel differently.

Fair enough.

I would definitely listen to offers though
