OT: Gronk signs for 54 million

New England Patriots' Rob Gronkowski gets richest contract for tight end - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

I think Vernon used to be the highest paid TE with his 42.7 million dollar deal that lasts through the 2015 season. The TE spot is getting quite expensive if you have one of the better guys in the league... but 54 million sure beats the 120 million you have to pay for one of the best WRs.

Wow...surprised when I saw this one.

Again, what this thread reminds me of is how much I hate the Pats! Wonder if they'll be able to lock Hernandez up long term when the time comes.

Hernandez is expendible IMHO.

Gronk = Vernon.
Hernandez = Walker.

Both are made better due to Mr. Gisele Bundchen.

Agreed with your comparisons on value. I think the spats would want to keep Hernandez though whereas for us Walker is more expendable. This season could change my perception on that but I see Delanie walking in FA.

Hehehe!

This isn't off topic by the way.
