Who Should I Start? Rob Gronkowski or Drew Lock

Wednesday, February 26, 10:08 AM

On Tuesday, DenverSports.com reported that five-time Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski was eyeing a potential NFL comeback, and the Denver Broncos were listed as a possible top suitor. However, FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz said he asked Gronkowski about the reports, and the 35-year-old denied the rumors. "Crazy bro. They must know something about me that I don't," Gronkowski said. "I wish I still had those powers, because that would be cool if I did. But I was just in Australia for a few days. Now it's time to relax a little. No football." The former New England Patriot and Tampa Bay Buccaneer is one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, so it would be exciting if he stepped back on the field. However, that doesn't appear to be in the cards based on his comments.

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said that signing quarterback Drew Lock in free agency "doesn't preclude" taking a signal-caller in next week's NFL draft. Schneider also said that he expects a competition for the backup job this summer between Lock and Sam Howell. "Really excited to have all four of those guys but in particular to have Sam Howell and Drew kind of competing for that second spot is a pretty good deal for us," Schneider said. The GM also said Seattle could dress three QBs in 2025, which is something the team has rarely done. Sam Darnold will obviously be the starter after a career year in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings. Howell ended up playing just 25 snaps behind Geno Smith last year in Seattle, going 14-for-24 with an interception. Both Howell and Lock have proven to be turnover-prone in their time in the NFL. Lock was Smith's backup in Seattle in 2023.
