Report: Patriots were shopping Rob Gronkowski prior to NFL Draft

The New England Patriots were calling teams about a possible trade of tight end Rob Gronkowski before the draft, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.

What It Means:

All this happened before Gronkowski confirmed he was not retiring, so take this with a grain of salt. It's now looking like Gronk could sign a restructured deal, as he is attending minicamp and is not a holdout. Gronk should get a new deal before the start of the regular season.

Gronk is our top-ranked tight end for 2018-19 and is number 53 in our overall rankings. We project him to finish with 71.5 receptions, 1,010.2 receiving yards, and 12.5 touchdowns.
