New England Patriots: Rob Gronkowski enters realm of horse racing

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has yet to commit to playing in 2018. Gronkowski was reportedly contemplating retirement following the team’s Super Bowl 52 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

In recent weeks, it was reported that Gronkowski was expected to report for the season. However, his absence from team workouts that began this week won’t quiet down those retirement rumblings. It should be noted, however, that these workouts are voluntary. Gronkowski does have a workout bonus in his contract for showing up, but it looks like he is content passing on that bonus.
