All it took was Tom Brady to go to Tampa Bay for Rob Gronkowski to come out of retirement.
The Patriots agreed to trade the All Pro tight end to the Buccaneers Tuesday for a fourth round pick, reuniting him with Brady, his teammate of nearly 10 years in New England.
According to reports, through Gronk's agent Drew Rosenhaus, Gronkowski "feels fantastic" and is back up to his playing weight of 260 pounds. The question is how much football does Gronk have left?
He retired after the 2018-19 season concluded in a 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53, citing physical pain as a main reason why he retired at the ripe age of 29. Over the past 14 months, Gronkowski has spent much of his time on television as both a guest host, and unofficial comedic relief. He will be 31 on Opening Day this year. What will he have left? And where does he fall into a tight end rotation that already includes O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate?
Regardless, at least for right now, the Bucs are becoming the destination everyone wants to be at right now. They have the GOAT at quarterback and his number one sidekick, the goofball that is Gronkowski. The Bucs are now must see TV.
