Rob Gronkowski on Lions Trade Rumor: 'I'm Not Going Anywhere Without Brady'

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is loyal to his quarterback.

"Brady's my quarterback," he said of Tom Brady following Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Detroit Lions, per Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald. "I'm not going anywhere without Brady."

Guregian noted the dominant tight end made the comments when he granted there was a trade that would have sent him to the Lions had he not threatened to retire. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reported as much prior to Sunday's contest, noting the two teams "were deep into trade discussions last offseason" before Gronkowski threatened to walk away and didn't even return Detroit's calls.
