TAMPA, Fla. ― Whether retired or waiting to be rehired, Rob Gronkowski isn’t walking through the door of the Bucs’ tight ends room when the full squad reports to training camp this week. At least, we don’t think so.
Furthermore, the signing of former Giants and Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph to a one-year contract at least fills the need for another veteran at the position who can produce on both rushing and passing downs.
Nothing will end the wishful speculation that Gronkowski may reappear right before the start of the playoffs and reunite with Tom Brady to win another Super Bowl. Conditioning doesn’t even seem to be a concern.
