The Buccaneers are hoping to re-sign tight end Rob Gronkowski now that Tom Brady is back in the fold, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
Brady’s announcement that he will be returning for Tampa in 2022 sent waves across the NFL. It also will play a major role in free agency and with Gronkowski.
Gronkowski has played with Brady for every season of his career. The two spent nine seasons with the Patriots together before Gronkowski announced his retirement. He would only miss the 2019 season before returning in 2020. The key factor for his return was that Brady asked him to join him in his new chapter with the Buccaneers.
