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
Who would trade a first round pick for a guy who doesn't know if he is going to retire or not?
I think the retirement rumors were due to the way he felt Belichick was treating him
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.
You can't just cut and replace players like you posted for not showing up

- Workouts cannot begin prior to the first Monday in April for clubs with a new head coach or the third Monday in April for all other clubs
- Workouts are strictly voluntary; Club officials cannot indicate workouts are anything other than voluntary
- Maximum 4 w/o per week (no weekends), with one week being the mandatory minicamp (not permitted on weekends)
- Contact work is prohibited in all workouts (e.g. "live" blocking, tackling, pass rushing, bump-and-run, etc.)
- Intensity and tempo of drills should be at a level conducive to learning, with player safty as the highest priority.

NP...every player should want to be at volunteery work outs for the betterment of the team
I don't know. He has been told by a lot of people in Hollywood that he could have a great career outside of football. He has that whole wrestling thing also and he has had a ton of injuries. I really think he is weighing retirement.
Who’s whining. I posted my opinionI'm with the players on this. They negotiated a contract making such offseason activities voluntary. And as long as it remains as such, I have no place to bitch about anything. And whining about it, is silly.
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.
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!
You forgot the part where I said unless they have an excuse from Gase. Gase can cut whoever he wants
May not be whining, but it's your idea of what makes them great is indeed not based in reality. Whining, bitching, unfair expectations or just plain old silliness. You choose.

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'M POSTING THIS
GASE CANNOT RELEASE ANYONE FOR MISSING VOLUNTARY WORKOUTS
PLAYERS DON'T NEED AN EXCUSE TO MISS THE WORKOUTS...IS IT RIGHT? NO it isn't
IF YOU HAVE Difficulty comprehending THAT ISSUE, I CAN'T HELP YOU
