Rob Gronkowski May Return to NFL, Traded to Buccaneers from Patriots for 4th-Round Pick

Looks like Gronkowski’s career with the WWE might be either over or at least put on hold for while. If Gronk does return to football, he would most likely not be able to take part in any physical matches for WWE, which probably means plans for him to be at SummerSlam would need to be changed.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New England Patriots have agreed to trade their tight end, and WWE’s current 24/7 champion, Rob Gronkowski to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a fourth-round draft pack.

Gronk reuniting with Brady — wherever Brady ended — always felt like a real scenario behind the scenes. I can’t understate the appreciation, on and off the field, they have for each other. Gronk was done with the Patriots… but he never wanted to be done catching TDs from Brady.
