Patriots Would Be Outsmarting Themselves by Trading Rob Gronkowski
The idea of the New England Patriots trading five-time first-team All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski borders on absurdity. And yet, the chatter hasn't stopped.
In mid-June, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported that the Patriots called other teams in an attempt to trade Gronkowski just days before April's draft. The tight end supposedly hasn't been happy since last year's training camp, and the organization's atmosphere is "starting to wear on him mentally and physically," according to NBC Sports Boston's Tom E. Curran.
