http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-trent-brown-jersey , the former Patriots tight end who announced his retirement this year, has been the subject of some speculation that he might change his mind and return to the field. But in a recent appearance he looked visibly thinner, suggesting that he has cut back on lifting weights, which would make it hard for him to get back on the field.Given his appearance at a Showtime event for Julian Edelman‘s new documentary Duron Harmon Jersey , Gronk is significantly below his listed playing weight of 268 pounds.Losing significant weight can be good for retired players’ long-term health, but it generally closes the door on coming out of retirement. Former NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez said in 2015 that he had teams reach out to him about playing again, but he’d lost too much weight to make it feasible.Gronk is only 30, so it’s not impossible for him to put weight back on if he does change his mind. But his physical appearance suggests that playing football again is not in the cards. There was word on Thursday that the Patriots had signed three of their draft picks and the team confirmed it in an official announcement on Friday.That announcement also brought word of four more signings and officially announced tight end Benjamin Watson’s return to New England.Second-round defensive back JoeJuan Williams Womens Tedy Bruschi Jersey , third-round offensive lineman Yodny Cajuste and fifth-round defensive lineman Byron Cowart were the three to sign on Thursday. They were joined by fourth-round offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt, fourth-round quarterback Jarrett Stidham, fifth-round punter Jake Bailey and seventh-round defensive back Ken Webster.Stidham will try to move into a developmental role behind Tom Brady on the depth chart after starting at Auburn the last two seasons. Froholdt is the second Denmark native to be drafted in the NFL — Hall of Fame kicker Morten Andersen was the first — and started 37 games at Arkansas.Bailey joins Ryan Allen at punter and Webster comes to New England after appearing in 47 games at Ole Miss.First-round wideout N'Keal Harry, third-round defensive end Chase Winovich and third-round running back Damien Harris are the only Patriots picks without contracts.
