How Patriots Could Trade Rob Gronkowski In Retirement To Buccaneers! (via NESN)
with just over $1 million in cap space. So, if Gronkowski wants to return, the Patriots’ hands are tied. They could not reinstate Gronkowski without first freeing up $9 million in cap space. They would either have to release GronkowskiBut would the Patriots have to absorb Gronkowski’s nearly $10 million cap hit before trading him? Precedent says no.
The Baltimore Ravens traded retired linebacker Rolando McClain to the Dallas Cowboys on July 1, 2014. The way the transaction is listed on the NFL wire, the Cowboys — not the Ravens — reinstated McClain. So, that means the Ravens traded McClain while on the reserve/retired list, then the Cowboys reinstated him.
The same thing happened in 2017 with running back Marshawn Lynch. The Seattle Seahawks traded Lynch to the Raiders, then Oakland reinstated him., truly does want to join the Buccaneers, then the Patriots could trade his rights to Tampa Bay before he’s reinstated. Then the Buccaneers could reinstate him in a separate transaction.The Buccaneers have two talented tight ends in O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate, but Gronkowski is perhaps the greatest tight end of all time coming off of a year of rest.
For Gronkowski, playing with Bucs head coach Bruce Arians would provide a more lenient environment. Playing for Bill Belichick is a grind. Arians would be more fun. Gronkowski previously owned a house in Tampa, so he has some roots there. And the Patriots could essentially acquire assets, whether that’s in the form of draft picks or players, for free. We have absolutely no idea what the Patriots could get for Gronkowski at this juncture. The Seahawks received a fifth-sixth round swap for Lynch. The Ravens got a sixth-seventh round swap for McClain.would get more for Gronkowski. It would make some sense for the Buccaneers to throw Brate or Howard into the deal.
