Cut and replace those that don’t show or don’t have an excuse from Gase. Should have 100% participation if they truly want to be great!

And yet Gronk did not show for NE.

Voluntary vs Involuntary

I wouldn't be surprised if Gronks traded for a first round pick
allowing the Pats 3 first round picks,That pick could be used for a QB or even Saquon Barkley
The possibility is terrifying
  • Round 1, Pick 23 (23rd overall) - From Los Angeles Rams*
  • Round 1, Pick 31 (31st overall) - Assigned Selection
  • Round 2, Pick 11 (43rd overall) - From San Francisco*
  • Round 2, Pick 31 (63rd overall) - Assigned Selection
  • Round 3, Pick 31 (95th overall) - Assigned Selection
  • If they wanted to trade up for a QB or Barkley they could
  • If they wanted to replace Gronk with Goedert they could
  • If they want to draft left tackle Mike McGlinchey they could
  • It's scary, the options they have in the draft

So happy to see DVP in the building for voluntaries since his work ethic is knocked so much. Hopefully he's on a steady diet plan as well.

Also really nice to see Raekwon!!

Would be nice but thats not how it works in real life. No matter what the job is there are some people who try hard to excel and some people who are ok with just getting by.

Agree, but you just can't go around releasing players because they decided NOT
to show up for a voluntary workout/s. The NFL players association has rules regarding
these workouts.
