On a day when players were coming and going everywhere thanks to the free-agency tampering period opening, Rob Gronkowski is staying put.
The tight end is attached to Tom Brady and that means he will be playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. He has agreed to a one-year contract worth $10 million.
