It looks like former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will officially close out his NFL career in a Patriots uniform.
The team announced on Monday that Gronkowski will be signing a one-day contract on Wednesday, with the plan being for the former tight end to officially retire as a member of the Patriots.
The former 2010 second-round pick obviously had an incredible career, with Gronk being a dominant player both as a receiver as well as a punishing blocker. He was a key part of the second half of New England’s championship runs, with Gronkowski ending his tenure with the Patriots in dramatic fashion.
