At 12:15 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Rob Gronkowski will sign a one-day contract to retire with the Patriots, the team with which he spent the majority of his professional career.
Widely regarded as one of the best tight ends in history, Gronk was first drafted to the Pats in 2010 and played in Foxborough until the 2018 season. He won three Super Bowls with New England—XLIX, LI and LII—briefly retired in 2019, then defected for Tampa Bay with Tom Brady in 2020 and 2021; the pair won another Super Bowl that first season at Raymond James.
