There have been a lot of New England Patriots rumors in recent days surrounding quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski. Brady and Gronkowski have been absent from any Patriots team activities thus far this offseason, which has raised some eyebrows.
Brady and Gronkowski missed the first two phases of the Patriots’ offseason plans and were not present at the beginning of phase three this week. The organized team activities are voluntary, but New England usually has stellar attendance at them. That is not the case this year.
In addition to Brady and Gronkowski, there were eight other players absent from OTA’s this week.
