This Rob Gronkowski situation is becoming a soap opera and as the world turns so does this drama that's the New England Patriots. Gronkowski commented after the Super Bowl he would consider
retirement during the offseason. Reports are he still struggled with coming back due to lingering frustration with head coach Bill Belichick.
Belichick has also questioned Gronkowski's commitment to doing things the Belichick way, so it's like they are at a standstill. Rob has said he would continue to play in New England as long as "Tom is the quarterback." Gronk has been Brady's favorite target since he was taken out of Arizona in 2010. His 76 touchdown receptions are a franchise record but it seems that is still not enough to satisfy Belichick.
Gronkowski has battled injuries throughout his career but they never caused him to think about retirement so it makes you wonder does he still want to be in New England? Could he be hinting at a trade?
It doesn't matter what decision he makes because he will have a comfortable life after football with the offers he's reeled in. He's had offers from the WWE and movie directors, so the ball is definitely in his corner.
Don't be surprised if #87 is in another uniform in 2018, Belichick is known for shipping players off and keep building his system.
