TAMPA, Fla. — Presumably, Tom Brady possesses a greater insight into longtime target Rob Gronkowski’s immediate future than just about anyone inside Bucs headquarters.
But when asked Thursday if the tight end’s plans included a final fling with Tampa Bay in 2022, the quarterback conveyed only hope.
“I think it’s just obviously totally up to him,” Brady said after the Bucs wrapped up their three-day mandatory minicamp with a brief indoor workout. “We’d all love to play with him, but he’s got to make the best decision for himself, and he knows that. Anyone who cares about him knows that he’s doing what’s right for him, which is trying to figure it out.”
