Let's not forget they already have Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard. Someone ain't gonna make it, and I'd take either of those guys.

The funny thing is... Brate and Howard are both better than Gronk at this point.

Gronk isn't the same player as he once was though + his body is starting to fail him. At this point, he's more name than threat.

Bruce Arians doesn’t really utilize TE’s in his offense so it’s kind of a strange move.

Yeah, they didn't really utilize either Howard nor Brate last season, but I guess they might change things up for TB12.

Tom needed his familiarity...

I'd call it a security blanket for Brady. Just something comfortable that makes him feel more at home. Also heard today that Gronk has slimmed up and they plan to use him more of a receiver than TE.

Good point. They may be looking at offensive tackle in the Draft to protect Brady...
