Probably from DDT'ing his homies on dirty dance floors

We do have another dude that plays the position Named Aaron Hernandez. Top 3 Tight end in the league.

As much as I like Aaron Hernandez, he's proven in Gronk's absence that he's not on that level. He's not a top 3 TE. We need Gronk healthy for the playoffs next year. That must be a priority.

Yup, and AHern rented a place in LA this summer to work out with Brady. Also don't forget we have Jake Ballard coming of IR this year. Who we stole from the Giants last year...

But let's not go over board. We need Gronk healthy....

Stole? We released him

We never really value our TEs though

Ballard was released with the expectation he would clear waivers, and be put on the PUP or IR list to save the Giants a roster spot...

Ballard is recovering from a torn ACL and microfracture knee surgery and could miss the entire season. A source said Ballard is expected to return once he clears waivers and be placed on either the physically unable to perform list or injured reserve

One problem with the Giants’ plan to place injured tight end Jake Ballard on waivers and then put him on injured reserve and get him ready for 2013: It doesn’t work if another team claims him. And that’s exactly what happened today.

The Patriots, against whom Ballard was injured in the Super Bowl, have claimed Ballard. He is now a New England Patriot

Make no mistake. The Giants wanted to keep him.

Eh, we've always had a rotating wheel of TEs anyway. Don't see what was in it for you guys other than to "stick it" to us

Bennett has worked out...whether we can keep him though...
