Rob Gronkowski shares retirement thoughts amid Tom Brady uncertainty

NFL star Rob Gronowski has hinted he could be about to step away from the sport as speculation over the future of team-mate Tom Brady rumbles on.

Both Gronowski and Brady - widely considered the greatest quarter-back of all time - were instrumental as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the 2021 Super Bowl with a resounding 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

But the Bucs' hopes of retaining the title this year were ended as they fell 30-27 to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional play-offs last Sunday - with Brady now due to take extra time to mull over whether or not he sees out the final year of his contract next season.

And now tight-end Gronowski, 32, has told TMZ Sports that if the franchise forced him to make an immediate decision - then he would walk away from the team.
