Gronk Talks Free Agency With CBS; Doesn’t Mention Bucs
March 12th, 2022
With the free agency siren going off in 44 hours, Joe is inhaling every swirl of smoke.
CBS Sports reporter Jerr Kerr talked to Rob Gronkowski for a story today and the superstar pending Bucs free agent tight end didn’t mention Tampa Bay when he was hit with questions about continuing his career.
As he did last month, Gronk talked about Joe Burrow being a quarterback he’d be interested in playing with.
Yes, Gronk is working out twice weekly at One Buc Palace, but he doesn’t seem to be all-on on Kyle Trask or Blaine Gabbert.
It’s likely the Bucs will not have any cash to sign Gronk as they have greater priorities among their giant free agent class, and limited salary cap room. And perhaps Gronk prefers to choose the quarterback with which he plays.

Gronk is basically staying at his girlfriend’s house (OBP) while trying to hook up with a new, hotter chick.
Thanks for your service and I wish you well Gronk.

Gronk has a pipeline to Brady, and wants to play where he plays.
Unless Brady really IS retired, and plans to stay that way ?
March 12th, 2022 at 4:40 pm
DooshLaRue … Strictly business on Gronk’s part. We’d all do exactly the same if we had the opportunity.
March 12th, 2022 at 4:42 pm
none of the players talk about trask
March 12th, 2022 at 4:43 pm
So why does Watson think the Bucs give him the best chance to win a SB? Now it looks like they have no TE.
March 12th, 2022 at 4:47 pm
Gronk is probably waiting to see what Brady does. If Brady doesn’t come back, I’m sure Gronk will choose buffalo, Raiders, I think he would love to be in Vegas full time, or another contender like Rams and maybe Denver. He’s not coming here unless Brady shows back up.
March 12th, 2022 at 4:49 pm
Gronk has never played for any other quarterback, I’m ok with going young at tight end if we have a new third receiver
March 12th, 2022 at 4:51 pm
I think Gronk has earned the right to chase another ring, if he chooses keep playing…If he wants to go to CIN. Good on him!
March 12th, 2022 at 5:01 pm
Burrow is the best… next to Brady
March 12th, 2022 at 5:07 pm
I’m not knocking him.
March 12th, 2022 at 5:13 pm
Well, you can’t pay EVERYbody on the team $10 million a year. There’s a few good tight ends in the draft, this kid McBride from Colorado State is my fav. Great hands, great blocker, but he probably won’t be available at #27
March 12th, 2022 at 5:31 pm
Buffalo will sign him
March 12th, 2022 at 5:49 pm
Bye bye. It’s been fun.
March 12th, 2022 at 5:49 pm
Kiss Gronk goodbye!
March 12th, 2022 at 5:57 pm
Gronk will play with Brady in San Francisco along with Godwin
March 12th, 2022 at 6:04 pm
Brady isn’t coming back to this awful staff. They suck.
March 12th, 2022 at 6:05 pm
“none of the players talk about trask“
Only Mike Evans.
March 12th, 2022 at 6:06 pm
Would love to keep him, but don’t think we can. Thanks for the memories Gronk! Best wishes.
March 12th, 2022 at 6:10 pm
Guess you missed the part where he talks about his teammates being a reason he would come back
March 12th, 2022 at 6:12 pm
If Arians goes back to what he’s historically done in offense the TE won’t see that many balls anyway.
March 12th, 2022 at 6:12 pm
Trade Brady’s rights and a some draft picks for George Kittle
March 12th, 2022 at 6:15 pm
From the article:
What would urge you to return to the NFL for another year?
Gronkowski: “It’s been an unbelievable ride, and I have a lot of support from my teammates. I have so much love for all of them.”
Seems like thats a pretty pro-Bucs statement

That seems like a statement from a guy who played for the Patriots for years.

You’re dreaming Weston.
March 12th, 2022 at 6:34 pm
If the players talk about TRASK, then they’re dissing Gabbert. (and vice-versa) That’s why I’d love to see someone ask AB about Trask/Gabbert…I’m pretty sure he has no favorites there
March 12th, 2022 at 6:44 pm
Weston he doesn’t mention coaches.
March 12th, 2022 at 7:10 pm
Bye Bye Gronk! Thanks for the memories!
March 12th, 2022 at 7:15 pm
New video game only sold at One Buc Place, Gronky Gone.
March 12th, 2022 at 7:46 pm
Gronk knows how to win just like TB (Tom Brady) and neither Gronk or TB will play for A-h… Arians again!!! Look how he ran on the field and slapped his own player in the head and he has lost his players respect and you are going to see alot of players leave including Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones!!! Bucs need to get rid of Arians and let the younger coaches run the show!!! Gronk if he plays will show up in Buffalo (his hometown) or Cincinnati cause he’s a winner and wants to win or if Brady signs somewhere else like SF he will follow him!!! He will not play for Bucs cause they are on their way down!!!
March 12th, 2022 at 8:00 pm
You know that Gronk wouldn’t make a move unless he talked to Brady and confirmed if he was staying retired.
March 12th, 2022 at 8:12 pm
Just saw where Dallas Cowboys are asking RT La’El Collins to seek a trade!!
GENIUS IDEA!!!!
Snag Collins for our RT !!!
He’s currently $10MM a year…Can structure to partial salary with signing bonus. Dude is only 28 years old & has a nasty side to him!!!
Cowboys said if they can’t find trade partner, they may outright release Collins…
Next step…
Slide Wirfs to LT
Trade Donovan Smith his huge salary for draft capital!!!!!
Have a feeling that since Brady is gone, we’re gonna see that lazy side to Smith starting to show its face again 🤷🏻♂️….
LOVE this idea!!!!
March 12th, 2022 at 9:18 pm
@Bucfan1988………do a little more research and you will see why it is a Baaaad idea.
March 12th, 2022 at 9:20 pm
If Brady had any issues with the Bucs,and what is coming, then undoubtedly Gronk knows. Whether he agrees, who knows, but this is not the behavior of a guy who is sticking around.
March 12th, 2022 at 10:56 pm
New trade idea, send Brady to 49ers for Kittle and draft pick, Jimmy G and picks go to Houston, Watson to Tampa. 49ers sign Gronk. Everyone’s happy…
March 12th, 2022 at 11:04 pm
Yes Gronk is gone. It was a fun 2 years. I think we won a SB not because of Bruce Arians but in spite of him. It showed in year 2. Brady and Arians were mismatched from the start. I do concur all these players like the younger coaches and coordinators nowadays. Or at least the coaches that dont have the huge egos and are control freaks.. The crusty Belicheks, Arians, other dinosaur coaches that do not have a feel of what’s going on these days are numbered. Brady will be a 49er at some point.
March 12th, 2022 at 11:59 pm
I want to bonk everything over the head that suggest putting our all pro right tackle at a position he is unfamiliar with.
March 13th, 2022 at 4:03 am
gronk looks really ripped in the above photo ^^^^^ more than normal…
i don’t remember him being this cut up…and cheeks are sucked in too…
he must have dropped a few pounds that week, or been dehydrating, or taken a water pill to make an appearance at the espy awards 🙂
March 13th, 2022 at 9:37 am
He gave us 100% effort on the field. Was instrumental in one SB victory. Good luck to him.
March 13th, 2022 at 1:22 pm
Gronk did the same thing last season. Played it cool, pretended he might look around. It means nothing.
