They're already going to have to make moves to get enough money to even sign their draft picks, much-less any other free agents, and then finding another 8 or 9 million to sign Gronk.
Furthermore, like you said, I doubt they'd give big money to another guy that would be all but guaranteed to miss a few games a year, but I wish they would.

Compile that with an emerging target for Ben, in James, it just doesn't seem like a typical wise Patriots move.
I don't think that they trade him regardless, but, yeah, definitely not to a team in the AFC.
The only reason I could see it happening is that Gronk's been so non-committal about even playing next season and the Pats don't play games with that kind of bullshit.
Unlike the Steelers with Bell, they don't let a player hold them by the nuts.
