In the offseason, for the second time, tight end Rob Gronkowski retired from the NFL. And a few weeks ago, for the second time, Gronkowski considered coming out of retirement.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles revealed that Gronkowski called the team about a possible return for the playoff push. However, nothing serious came of the call.
“It was more of a conversation than anything else,” Bowles said, via the Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud. “Usually, when you have to think about playing, you probably don’t want to play. When it’s just a discussion, I didn’t think much of it at the time.”
