Chase Winovich played some tight end at Michigan. Should the Patriots do something crazy?
It’s not often that we feel obligated to come down on Bill Belichick, but his reluctance to bolster the Patriots’ colorless tight end situation in the wake of Rob Gronkowski’s retirement last year has been nothing short of indefensible.
Going through the 2019 season without finding a replacement for Gronk was understandable as Ben Watson, Matt LaCosse and Ryan Izzo formed a serviceable stopgap trio, logging a combined 36 receptions for 418 yards and two touchdowns.
