Sounds cruel? If I were Jimmy I would hold out for the Franchise in 2014, then take my 8 year 60M contract (Gronkowski + #s).

It may not be there there now, but neither was the $5m or $6m we have now. That's what GM's are for. He'll figure it out. If he already made an offer to Jimmy then there has to be something to offer.

I think, if anything, it's the OPPOSITE of that -- there's no question that Jimmy is playing out of his mind right now, and hopefully that others will see and feed off of that, and play equally insanely lights out. I also think Drew may be conspiring in cahoots with him a little bit. The way things are going, I would not be AT ALL surprised to see Jimmy break some of Gronkowski's records, and other various TE records this year, or heck, maybe even single player, team records, like yards per game or most touchdowns by a Saint, in a single game, stuff like that. I mean why the heck not? He is playing of his mind right now.

Yea... The guy we could have waited 6 days to sign so his contract wouldn't have been guaranteed.

He didnt even play in Week 1!!!!

For some reason I always get Menderson and Heachem mixed up.
