Bill Belichick has been full of jokes lately. He likely took a shot at Lane Johnson in regards to his comment saying that the New England Patriots don’t have fun, and he made some comical remarks regarding Julian Edelman’s touchdown pass in Week 11.
The most recent comment that he made was in regards to Rob Gronkowski’s ‘big announcement’ that’s set for Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m. ET.
Belichick was asked about the announcement on WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni & Fauria”, and gave a hilarious answer.
“Yeah, I’m sure my phone will be ringing off the hook with all the alerts I have on it,” Belichick said jokingly. “I’m sure it will be crazy.”
Gronkowski retired from the NFL after last season and has sent mixed signals on whether or not he’d stay retired. It’s very likely that Gronkowski is going to announce a career move, and that he won’t make his comeback to the league.
If Gronkowski were to make a return, he’d have to report to the team before Nov. 30. Belichick and the Patriots will likely move on this season without Gronkowski on the field, but, there is a small window to hope for his NFL return.
