The Facts:
After posing nude for ESPN The Magazine’s “Body Issue” and partying at events for the issue and the ESPYs (Gronkowski was up for two awards but was shut out), and co-hosting “Access Hollywood Live” in recent days — things that seem un-Patriot-like — don’t be surprised if he lays low for the next couple of weeks. Via a league source, Gronkowski has been told by the team that his summer of Gronk, so to speak, is over.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Seems like it might be wise to start lowering the profile. Gronkowski has hardly been the model of the Patriot Way (although one could argue owner Robert Kraft hasn't been either in recent days) this offseason so it's not hard to see why team officials might want to start reining him in a bit in advance of training camp. Indeed, with their star tight end -- who has become a primary weapon for their offense -- coming off ankle surgery and a high-profile offseason, narrowing the focus makes perfect sense.
