They’ve Done it Before
Randy Moss, Richard Seymour, Malcolm Butler, Lawyer Milloy, and a host of other players have been let go well before getting to the heights Gronkowski has seen in a Patriot uniform, and with fewer injuries.
If Belichick could check out on Moss after the season Brady had with him (Moss caught 23 of Brady’s 50 TD passes), I see him cutting Gronk loose without a second thought if he makes that decision.
