Rob Gronkowski claims there was never an elaborate plan to leave the Patriots with Tom Brady

The past working relationship between Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has been obsessed over and broken down more times than the Da Vinci Code. No one knows that better than legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski, who recently found himself in the crosshairs of a long line of conspiracies.

The tinfoil-wearing folks believe it was always the plan for him to come out of retirement and reunite with Brady on another team outside of New England.

However, long before he scores his first touchdown and spikes his first football as a Buccaneer, Gronkowski recently made it a point to spike those lingering rumors to rest.
