Rob Gronkowski A Trade Candidate?

The longer New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski goes without officially committing to play in 2018, the greater chances the Patriots will consider trading him, according to a "Bill Belichick-friendly source."

Broncos Haven't Given Up On Paxton Lynch

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said the team hasn't given up on quarterback Paxton Lynch. “By no means is Paxton done. ... We believe in Paxton," Joseph said.
