If you could get Gronk to come in early in FA for say 6M, they have leverage and could get CJ at a reasonable rate maybe without much guaranteed in the years they'll have to pay Burrow and Higgins.
The Red Zone offense was rough, mostly on the OL but give me that big target and blocking threat in 2TE sets. You place Gronk with less regular season reps, Boyd gets most of his and gives the other WR's a break outside, and you could even play the 3 WR 2TE looks at times in light of Mixon's weak blocking.
It's nothing to get your hopes up or worry about the signing keeping you from fixing the OL or retaining the core of the defense. 17 games and another 3-4 playoff games is a long season. Sign him up for reasonable if he truly wants to be here.
I like the leverage idea, Gronk still needs to make his mind up if he is going to play.
