GRONK IS BACK (NFL) ......in Tampa

https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/04/21/rob-gronkowski-forcing-bill-belichicks-hand-on-return-to-nfl/

Rob Gronkowski couldn’t stay retired.

Not with Tom Brady still playing. And especially not with Brady playing for a team not named the Patriots.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the all-world tight end has imagined this scenario of reuniting with Brady for quite awhile. This wasn’t a spur of the moment decision to request a trade. If Brady ever left, Gronkowski was going to join him wherever he landed.

Gronkowski basically had Belichick over a barrel. If Belichick traded him someplace else, Gronkowski made it known he would stay retired. Returning to the Patriots wasn’t an option.

The fun-loving Gronk had his fill of The Hoodie. He wanted a change.
