Julien Edelman Hints at Returning to the New England Patriots This Season

Anyone else counting down the days until football season? I know it's not just me.

Well, if you have been keeping up with NFL headlines and news stories, you know that the iconic ex-Patriot tight end, Rob Gronkowski, is retiring.

Here is the Instagram post from Gronk, announcing his departure from the league.

This announcement was very surprising for Bucs fans, but also Patriot fans, because this retirement call is coming weeks after Tom Brady announced he is coming OUT of retirement to play one more year of football.

I mean, everyone thought Gronk would be looking to get one more ring with Brady, right?
