Re: Gronk in jeopardy to miss some regular season action?!?

..but I am saying is don't trade him for those guys if you normally wouldn't , and are only doing it now because of this infection. That is the definition of "selling low." I agree with you 100%. Again, I'm definitely not advocating selling low on Gronk. The only way selling him now makes...

Re: Gronk in jeopardy to miss some regular season action?!?

These are exactly the kind of situations where shrewd dynasty owners can grab some value. If the Gronk owner in your league is dropping his price even a little, go out and grab him. It's a temporary blip in value of a young, elite, player. Dynasty trading 101, in my opinion. Absolutely. If an owner...

Re: Gronk in jeopardy to miss some regular season action?!?

Jene Bramel is fantastic, nice of you to include the link Scott. Nobody is saying something catastrophic is going to happen with Gronk, just covering the range of possibilities. Having all the facts helps assess a situation. I've seen his work during the season where he breaks down player injuries,...

Re: Gronk in jeopardy to miss some regular season action?!?

Starting to think fire sale. I would definitely NOT dump Gronk for cheap. The best thing to do, if you own Gronk, is be patient and wait how things develop. I personally think Gronk will return to play eventually. He is young, in great physical condition, and is being treated at Mass General (aka H...

Re: Gronk in jeopardy to miss some regular season action?!?

I think it's important to put all the options on the table, but there's a long, long way to go before amputation (despite the quoted 6-13% incidence) would be considered. Gronkowski's infection has been an ongoing problem, but there's not been any indication that it's a "chronic" issue in...

Re: Gronk in jeopardy to miss some regular season action?!?

So.... Best case scenario is the infection is cleared up and he's ready this summer. Worst case scenario is they have to cut off his arm. I think this sums it up, but it's important not to jump to conclusions (ie amputation) until his fourth surgery is done. At that surgery, it will be possible to ...

Re: Tavon Autsin to Detroit

Not even a chance. They don't have one tackle on their roster and their CB's are terrible. They wouldn't take a guy at that size in the top 5 with all the needs they have. If they want him, they'd be trying to trade up with their 2nd and probably a future 1st and even then I highly doubt it. Agreed...

Re: Gronk in jeopardy to miss some regular season action?!?

I just finished writing an article on Gronk and his forearm injury. It should be posted soon, so look out for it. My summary would be: 1. It's not good news, but not unexpected given wound infections can be tough to treat. 2. Sometimes multiple surgeries and courses of antibiotics are needed to res...

Re: Would Wilson be 1.1?

Around Week 5 last year I traded my 2013 1st rounder for Wilson & 2.9...... I was darn sure that my pick would be at WORST 1.6...... Hit some rough sledding and it ended up being the 1.2...... Just thinking if Wilson, as he is today with 1 year in the NFL, was uprooted from everyones rosters an...

Re: Kenny Britt- Stay away or Buy?

I still think he can be something and would hold.... unless..... you can parlay him into something bigger..... Last week I gave Colston+Britt+Olsen+2014 1st for Graham & DRich.... But I don't think he is a sell low on his own.... Wow. That is a steal. Nice trade. Wish I could dump Britt for tha...
