Are the Patriots going to trade Rob Gronkowski now?
Unlikely! In fact, borderline impossible. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports this deal essentially rules out a Gronkowski trade, and that the Pats will move forward with Gronk, Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan as the primary weapons for Tom Brady.
They no longer have the need to negotiate with Cooks on a long-term extension -- 2018 was set to be the final year of his rookie contract, on a fifth-year option -- so it's possible they can take some of that increased financial leeway and give Gronk additional money. It's pretty obvious that the tight end, while he may be interested in retiring sooner than later, mostly wants to get paid.
Brady is going to be back in 2018, barring a very surprising trade, and as such we should expect Gronk to be back with the Patriots as well.
