If Robert Kraft gets his way, we haven’t seen the last of Rob Gronkowski’s playing career.
The Patriots owner told Gronkowski that he wants the tight end to return for the stretch run of the season, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Gronkowski, who retired in March, was reportedly approached by Kraft while cleaning out his locker after his retirement announcement when Kraft delivered the message.
The Patriots placed Gronkowski on the reserve/retired list in order to keep his rights if he decided to return. The last day teams can allow players to return from that list is Saturday, Nov.
