Julian Edelman retired with the New England Patriots and he will always been a fan favorite.
But, there’s been a slight fear that he would join Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady has joked in the past about Edelman joining him and nothing has ever transpired from it.
A couple weeks ago, Brady posted a video of him and Edelman throwing and getting a workout in. Gronkowski replied to it with the hopes Edelman was making a return to the NFL and it brought the idea back to life.
Edelman continues to feed into it and he did so with the perfect April Fool’s joke — announcing he signed with the Buccaneers.

There’s a lot of nervous Patriots fans who didn’t likely get the joke at first.
