He's not available til 4pm, so I'm sure there are a lot of phone calls taking place behind the scenes right now.

Interesting. There are always two sides to a story and I think loads of NFL coaches will at least want to speak to him first before making a definitive judgments.
:lol: Normally I'd agree, but clearly in this case AB is just toxic. No GM/coach in their right mind with serious Super Bowl aspirations for this season (Patriots, Chiefs, Saints, Chargers, Eagles) would bring him into their environment. He's a recipe for disaster. I'd be shocked if Belichick brought him in. Would be pure arrogance and ego on his part if he did. But I think Belichick is too smart for that.

Wonder what kind of deal AB can even get? The idiot surely cost himself some dough.

Vet minimum at this rate, maybe a bit more and/or with some incentives possibly and certainly no more than a one-year deal.

Figure someone comes calling by November at the latest, perhaps WWE.

Florida, man
I wouldn’t mind the Broncos giving him a shot. Imagine if they did so and he was eligible for week one :lol:

No fecking way. Fecking hell. That’s amazing. Watch him be a fecking school boy now because BB would kill him otherwise.

Fecking Pats. Can he play tomorrow? Doubt he would even if he could though.

$9M bonus! the feck they doing?

Guess he's gonna fall in line now.

They should trade for Gordon as well. Go for it all this season. Bring Gronk back in December.

And the amazing part is, that they won't extend the contract and will likely get a very high comp selection for him as well. The Pats are so good at this, it's incredible.

I think it was all on purpose to get cut. He probably knew the Pats were waiting in the wings. He released a celebration video after they cut him on youtube. He never wanted to play for the Raiders he wanted to play for a contender.

I'm saying it now: Gronk will come out of retirement.
