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.

Just a month ago Gronk won a title in the WWE and now he wants to comeback to the NFL just to piss me off. I mean what the fuck is this Rob? If you wanted to play football I feel like there was a team in New England who could’ve used you last year. Surprisingly enough the QB you want to play for was on that very same team. I mean this is a joke right?
Pats still own Gronks rights so it would have to be a trade, I could see Belichick going for it. Either Gronk doesn’t play for you and you get nothing or he doesn’t play for you and you might be able to swindle a draft pick out of Tampa.
I’m just in shock. I feel betrayed by everyone. I’m still not over Tom leaving and now you want to tell me Gronk is coming back but running away from the team. FUUUUUCK OFF.
If Edelman requests a trade I might storm Gillette.
*UPDATE*
Patriots and Buccaneers have been discussing a trade for retired TE Rob Gronkowski, per league sources. Gronkowski has one year and $10 million left on his contract. But the two sides are, and have been talking, prior to Thursday’s draft.

Gronk is gone they’re just looking for some compensation at this point. I mean this is bullshit man. I mean I think we had some rumblings with Brady leaving that Bill might be losing the locker room but this is something extra man. Bill HAS to hit it out of the park draft night or we might have a whole ass mutiny on our hands soon.
*UPDATE 2*
Trade, pending physical: Patriots are trading TE Rob Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick to the Buccaneers for a fourth-round pick, source tells ESPN.
