Gronk only pawn in game of life

Will Gronk and Tom Brady be back in Tampa?

One of the greatest tight ends ever to play the game will retire when Rob Gronkowski does, as he will be one of the greatest tight ends ever to play the game. He has been at his position for several years, and is already the GOAT. Gronk, who has already retired from football once, said if he was forced to choose, he would retire.

I would say no right now, if they are like, "Rob, you have to decide right now, right this second if you are playing next year." It is two days after the season.

I would not be playing. You have to give it some time. You have to rest. I would like to see how everything goes.

He will take time to heal his body after the season and assess the situation from there. I think he will wait to see what Tom Brady does. Brady's actions will influence Gronk more than he thinks. If Brady wasn't there, Gronkowski wouldn't come out of retirement.

Brady and Gronk have a strong bond. If anyone was a go-to guy for Brady, it was Gropper. They have 105 touchdown connections. They are nine behind Marvin Harrison. They might get the record if they run it back one more time.

He is the third all-time in touchdown catches at the tight end position. Gates and Gonzalez have more than 100. I don't see Gronk catching either, but I'm sure he'd love to be one of the three who finish with 100 or more touchdown catches. He's only seven points away from that, so one more go with Brady under center might get him there. I'm sure Brady would make sure it happened if Gronk stayed on the field most of the year.
