The fourth surgery had been considered “very likely” since Gronkowski sustained an infection in the left forearm earlier this year. Assuming the infection has been eradicated, the fourth surgery would replace the plate in Gronkowski’s forearm, and the estimate for a recovery would be about 10 weeks, sources previously told ESPNBoston.com.

Best and Worst Case Projections for Ryan Mallett’s Career in New England
Best and Worst Case Projections for Ryan Mallett’s Career in New England

But factors beyond health no doubt figured into Love’s release. For instance, by the end of 2012, Love had been surpassed by Brandon Deaderick in the Patriots’ defensive tackle rotation. Deaderick, meanwhile, was released on Tuesday. So the fact Deaderick AND Love were released suggests something else is at play: Scheme. The Patriots have signed Armond Armstead and former Raider Tommy Kelly this offseason. Additionally, they have Marcus Fortson back. All those players are leaner and faster than either Love or Deaderick. The Patriots are transitioning defensively from a team that plays a base 3-4 defense to a 4-3 team. They first made the switches on the outside last season. Now it appears they are working on the interior defensive line.

You don’t see that in many kids. We knew he was a good player, but we had no idea how hungry and how hardworking a kid he was.”
