Cut Gronk because he likes to party too much and Hern because he drops too many passes(Last season) and give all that money to Wes Welker! 

I'm sure we'll find two studs like Hern and Gronk in the 7th round...

Also, sign KVB, Canty, Boley and Bradshaw! That's what we need, old washed up football players!

Why, by George (or, more correctly, by Bill), I think you're onto something.

add Mayo to the list........any undrafted free agent could replace him.  It's not like he does anything.  Did he even play in the AFC Championship game?

Once these players hit 30 you have to be careful when signing them. It seems like these guys get to a certain age and lose it overnight. Running backs like Shaun Alexander, he's the MVP one year and two years later he's running for 3.5ypc. Eddie George had a fast drop, Tomlinson, Moss, Chad Johnson, and many many more. My point is be careful about signing the older guys at the skill positions.

As best he could considering the crap he was surrounded with.....AGAIN.  Would you rather have Alex Smith?

I say we package brady, mankins, mayo, gronk and stone hands for future 6 first round and 5 second rounds and 4 3rd round picks.

Well...I don't have a clue what this is about.   Must have missed an arguement somewhere.

In response to 49Patriots' comment:

Might not be a bad idea.  After all, Welker had more receiving yards then them combined, might as well give him their combined salary.

 

In all seriousness, Gronk and AH81 need to stay healthy.  Gronk is a huge target and Aaron can do some things.  I really think they need to somehow keep the core group together, find someone to take Lluyds spot, someone who can take the top off the defense as well as be effective in the middle.  Forget the Defense, just out score everyone! (kidding on the last part)
