Around the NFC South

Looks like a quiet day in the NFC South, but let’s take a run through the headlines that are out there. The New England Patriots gave tight end Rob Gronkowski a six-year, $53 million contract. That’s the biggest contract ever for a tight end and it pretty much sets the bar for New Orleans’ Jimmy Graham. As far as we know, Graham hasn’t asked for a new contract and it wouldn’t be wise to do that until after the Saints have taken care of quarterback Drew Brees.
