They had a RFA tag on him, broncos reported they were going to decline to match and then they did during the 11th hour
Oh, I thought there was more drama than that. Nevermind!

<<These are all plausible.
I'm not ruling out Gronk to Cleveland for 4 and one of our seconds.
That gives us Chubb or Darnold Mayfield or Rosen.
Id have to go Chubb unless I'm 100 percent sure the QB is the guy.
I'd rather take Chubb then wait and grab Rudolph>>

Apparently Pats Fans (the board) are ok with this bc:
1- gently caress Gronk
2- they’re getting top 10 overall value for him lol

Yeah, I don't see #4 overall going for a player unless we still get a second pick in the 1st.

It would be pretty bold to get rid of Amendola and Cooks AND Gronk. So I really doubt it.

The only way I can see it happening is if Belichick is fully committed to a rebuild and staying around for a lot longer and is trying to collect draft capital for life after Brady.

I wonder if the Jimmy Graham trade has (or would theoretically) hurt Gronk's trade value.

If a Gronk trade happens, my immediate thought probably won't be "[Team X that acquired him] is going to be unstoppable!"

Oh huh, CJ Anderson is only gonna be 27 and had 1000 yards last year.

His cap hit was $4.5m, I dunno why you wouldn't just keep him.

Because he's just a guy and this is a deep running back class. $4.5m is on the high end of the running back pay scale.

If BB has proven anything with his trades, Gronk is either going to the Browns or someone else about to implode catastrophically if that Totally Not Made The gently caress Up™ rumor is true

Huh, I didn't realize players from teams just chose to wear their own helmet, I thought it was a team based choice outside of weird outliers, more you learn I guess.

https://www.playsmartplaysafe.com/resource/helmet-laboratory-testing-performance-results/

But the league has banned about a dozen of the 30+ models used by 200+ players for not being safe enough, so they have to change now .

Only specific I've heard is Brady, Brees, Peterson and Witten wear one of the banned models.

the regular speedflex being marginal is interesting, although i'd imagine anyone in the nfl would spring for the custom fit setup

It’s good that they made the graph with an unquantified axis of “performance”, apparently determined whether a helmet should be prohibited on the basis of how close it was to the “best” helmet instead of an absolute measure, and didn’t ban helmets if the player wore that model last season. Also, did Rawlings forget to pay off the NFL?

E: Apparently Rawlings doesn’t make helmets anymore.

Barr, Diggs, Hunter, Kendricks and technically Waynes were all set to be FAs next year. The first 4 is who everyone speculated about, since Waynes has an option. I kind of figured Kendricks would be the odd man out but we’ll see. Hunter, Barr and Diggs seemed poised to be $10m+ players so it seems unlikely they keep all of them.
