The sports world went into a frenzy when news of Rob Gronkowski being traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came out. And, of course, part of that reaction was how oddsmakers suddenly viewed the Bucs compared to when they didn't have Gronk to throw to.
Here is a sample of how the deal shifted perception of Tom Brady's team:
