Similar to how Randy didn’t take Rice’s records but was still the most athletically gifted WR ever, Gronk won’t best Gonzalez in the record books, but I’d take him over any TE ever. 

Still, until Belichick, Adams and Guerrero go, the dynasty lives on. 

K Winslow with todays rules would have been scary

You could see this one coming.  Funny, don't hate him as much as I did a few minutes ago.  Actually seems like an OK guy.  Wonder what that is?  Bet your bottom dollar that he didn't give Bellicheat a heads up.  No love lost there.

He's been mulling retirement since last year maybe even a year earlier

They would probably have to trade up.  Can't see Hockenson making it to 32.  

Very deep Te group in the 2019  Nfl draft.    Raiders should be drafting one whether it's at 24 or 27.  Hockenson won't even be around by pick 24. ( very effective blocker and receiver- .    The Patriots should be able to get a good one at 32.

"Just the Patriots' luck!"

Too bad he didn’t wait till after the draft.

Don't underestimate his role in the running game it's why they won another Super Bowl. Edelman & Gronk were the only players that made any plays downfield. Gronk was a beastly blocker. 

 

Gronk is/was the best downfield blocker in the entire nfl by far even last year

 

Pats will miss that

He always had to be checked. They won without Gronk but played a weak minded soft team in the Falcons. They will definitely miss his size & toughness. Adams & Maye will definitely stifle any replacement the Pats come up with. Jets defense with the addition of Mosley won't be letting Brady eat us up with those RB screens. Without Gronk we'll blow that sh*t up next year.

Gronk blocking downfield is a big part of the pats offense that didn’t show up in the box score that’s why a lot of these 3-4 yard passes Brady would make would go for 10-20 yard gains

 

Chris Hogan had a 40 yard touchdown last year where Gronk blocked at least 2 different DBs after he caught a pass

Sad, dude is a legend. Best TE ever and honestly it’s not close. 

Mark Bavaro? Gonzalez? Cowboys just resigned one...

Not arguing, but there have been a few that compare.

There was something about Gronk that made him hard to hate As a matter of fact, the only thing I can think of is the Pats uniform. Great player, big, happy go lucky guy who played like a mixture of a kid and a beast.

Much respect to the Gronk. I wish him well.
