What an offseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
First, they sign Tom Brady. Now, they’re trading for his old tight end, luring Rob Gronkowski out of retirement.
The Bucs and Patriots have agreed to a trade for the four-time All-Pro, per multiple reports:
Trade, pending physical: Patriots are trading TE Rob Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick to the Buccaneers for a fourth-round pick, source tells ESPN.

The #Patriots and #Bucs have agreed to terms on a trade: Tampa gets Rob Gronkowski and a 7th rounder in exchange for a 4th rounder, sources say.

Gronkowski would join a crowded depth chart at tight end, with Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard already in Tampa Bay. This move could push Howard fully onto the trade block.
Gronkowski retired after the 2018 season, and has since spent time as an analyst for Fox Sports and most recently, tried his hand at professional wrestling.
Now, he reunites with his former Patriots teammate in Brady, hoping to make more magic happen in Tampa Bay.
