The New England Patriots traded rights to Rob Gronkowski at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday, so the tight end will visibly join quarterback Tom Brady in Florida.
This is a real coup in the NFL. If Brady reached an agreement with the Buccaneers in March, remember that Gronkowski had retired for the end of the 2018 season.
"Subject to physical testing, Rob agrees to play for Tampa this season," said player agent Drew Rosenhaus of the ESPN network. He will honor his present contract. ”
The agreement of Gronkowski, who did not play in 2019, is indeed still valid for the next season. The value is $ 10 million for the last campaign scheduled in its agreement.
Earlier today, "Gronk" himself had expressed his feelings during an interview on SiriusXM 102, indicating that he was not "completely finished". A few hours later, he took the road to Tampa with a choice of seventh round in the draft. In return, the Patriots obtained a fourth round selection.
Gronkowski, 30, also did not reject the idea of returning to Brady's side with the Buccaneers during the famous interview.
"Less than 24 hours after I announced my retirement, there were already rumors that I was going to get out," he said. I feel good now and I am happy where I am. But we never know!"
