He made frequent appearances last season, often to interact with Brady. His schtick is to alternate the doofus persona with the pseudo-thoughtful one, but I find each more obnoxious than the next.
None of these people are exactly likable, and Bradshaw is very hard to take. But they are already priced in to the background irritation of this show. Adding Gronk is adding net obnoxiousness, as Johnson was pretty much a non factor the last few seasons.
