After winning with the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in 2019, Rob Gronkowski announced he was hanging up his shoes, retired for a year, returned to Tampa Bay Baknires, also lifted the Lombardi Cup with her and went on for another season. Now the 33-year-old tight end, one of the greatest in the position ever, has once again decided enough is enough and has once again announced his retirement.
“I want to thank the Bakniers for trusting me and letting me be part of a winning team,” Gronk said in a statement, “I go home knowing I gave everything I could on the field, whether it was good or bad. The relationships I developed here were forever and I am happy about “The opportunity I got. I want to say thank you to all of you here.”
But is it final? Not as long as Tom Brady is playing for the Bakers. As you may recall, Brady himself announced his retirement after the 2021 season, but returned with it 40 days later. Gronkowski’s agent told a fired man from ESPN that he would not be surprised if the quarterback persuaded Gronk to cooperate with him again.
