BREAKING: Rob Gronkowski Returns To NFL, Traded To The Tampa Bay Bucs

It really happened. Rob Gronkowski ended all the rumors and returned back to the NFL.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network dropped the damning news that Rob Gronkowski informed the New England Patriots he was coming back to the NFL, but not to play for them, to play for the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Sources: Retired #Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has told New England that he’s interested in playing football again — and would want to do it with the #Bucs and QB Tom Brady. A trade would have to be worked out for this to happen.

Jay Glazer would later add that the former tight end has already taken a physical for the Buccaneers and the deal was done. Soon after, Adam Schefter would drop the news that the deal would be done pending a physical.

Here are the details:
