New York Jets CEO, coach weigh in on Rob Gronkowski’s retirement

There’s at least one person who’s happy to see Rob Gronkowski retire.

At the Annual League Meeting in New York City on Sunday, New York Jets CEO Christopher Johnson expressed to the media that he is relieved his team won’t have to face the wrath of the former Patriots tight end ever again.

“Look it, it’s obviously good news for the Jets because he’s an amazing player,” Johnson said. “To take a step back, I’m going to miss him as a player because he’s absolutely magnificent. If you ever play the game like I do of if I could steal that player off that team, he’s one of the top players I’ve always wished was a Jet.
