Is Rob Gronkowski un-retiring for a second time?
After reports that Gronkowski was bored during the season, we have now learned more details about his possible return to the NFL.
Rob Gronkowski called the #Buccaneers at Thanksgiving to tell them he's "bored" and wanted to return to the NFL, as @NFLSTROUD reported in December
He also said that next year, he'll consider returning for a full season

Allegedly, Gronkowski was ready to go back to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in December, which would have helped them for the last month of the season.
After the Buccaneers were eliminated by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, hindsight might indicate that Gronkowski could have helped the Buccaneers for that last month, giving Tom Brady another offensive weapon to work with.
However, it appears that Gronkowski might look to return to the league in 2023, but the team that he will choose is very much up in the air.
In his entire NFL career, Gronkowski has only had Brady as his quarterback and could look to reunite with him for a third time, either on the Buccaneers, or another team.
Alongside the reporting of Gronkowski coming back to the league, there has also been discourse of Brady either retiring again himself or moving to a different team than the Buccaneers.
Several teams need a new quarterback in 2023, and a player of Brady’s talent and tenure in the league, paired with his winning ways, could be the perfect fit for many organizations.
If you get Jekyll, you’ll likely get Hyde, as is the case with Brady and Gronkowski.
This offseason should be filled with much drama, and, among other storylines, the world will be watching what happens in this saga as well.
