They are assuming that Gronk went to the Pats for an extension. He didn't, the Pats are very smart at managing their player costs. Loomis should have gone at Jimmy two year ago with the same offer.
What the Pats realize is that the value of players of this caliber doesn't go down and neither do Franchise Tags. It is not with out a gamble however, as they paid top dollar for a TE that has spent a lot of time in rehab. |
