Rob Gronkowski

When Rob Gronkowski made his second retirement announcement in 2022, many fans were hurt. Mainly, Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans who need the greatest.

The average age and retirement age of an NFL player is 26. The average NFL career is less than 3 years. Great decision to go out with his health and on top after another SB title.Great career. One of the best TEs to ever play. So that is why it’s so important for him to stick with his decision to retire, and stick to saying no to Brady. Gronk announces his retirement.

Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski explains why his slight of the team in his retirement Instagram post was blown out of proportion.

“There’s no doubt I love New England. I love all the fans here in New England. There’s no doubt. No shade to the Buccaneers, but was that a shot thrown at the team where he won 3 Super Bowls and played his most dominant years? Both Brady and Gronkowski wanted to keep their legacies in New England separate. While Gronkowski was referencing his latest chapter in the NFL, Patriots fans have every right to feel slighted. But a main reason why some may doubt Gronkowski has walked away from the game for good is that he didn’t really mention the Patriots in an Instagram post in which he announced his retirement. Kind of sounds like Tom Brady’s fake retirement earlier in the offseason.

"There's no doubt I love New England. I love all the fans here in New England. There's no doubt. Gronk spent the first nine seasons of his decorated career in New England, winning three Super Bowl rings in the process. Unsurprisingly, the omission of the Patriots in that post made a lot of noise.

Superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski stating that he's really "done with football" doesn't surprise some within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization.

“Anyone that’s close to Gronk that I talk to a lot, it’s like, ‘He’s just not the same; he’s not the same guy.’ Gronk’s not coming back until he feels like he’s the elite tight end, the greatest in the game.” I love the young kids we’ve got in there and Cam Brate’s a good veteran player that Tom really trusts. He also played 76% of the Bucs’ snap counts in 2021. But, I feel like it’s important to add that there is a situation where there is some that believe late in the season — and [Tom] Brady gives him a call and Gronk feels good — then maybe that’s the situation [Gronk] comes back.” He only missed five games due to injury and played in the last 11 games of the season, including the playoffs. “So that’s something that plays a big part in why he was able to be so open talking about retirement [on Tuesday].”
