The injury which has put questions on A-Rod’s return has left the side looking for solutions to strengthen their offenses, putting less pressure on the defenses. Recently, Rob Gronkowski appeared on the “Up & Adams Show”. He offered a solution “But for some reason, the Vikings lose Kirk Cousins should be shipped out 100%. And he should be shipped out to the New York Jets.”
The bombshell revelation sounded practical since Cousins’s trade-off could bolster the Jets offenses. With Zach Wilson struggling to perform touchdowns and no interceptions, the experience and form of Cousins could do a world of good for the Jets. Gronkowski further stated the reasons for the same, “And why I say that makes sense is because it’s his last year on his contract.” The contract transfer would imply a win-win situation for the Jets side and for Kirk Cousins as well. Rob is known for his extraordinary comments and out-of-the-blue thinking that he pointed out with a recent event.
