The 2020 offseason will likely be regarded as the biggest in Buccaneers franchise history, as the team not only landed six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady in free agency, but also worked out a trade with the New England Patriots to bring Brady’s running mate Rob Gronkowski to the bay.
Gronk, who sat out all of 2019, was looking to come out of retirement and return to football, but only wanted to do so with Brady in Tampa Bay. Remember, back in 2018 the Patriots had a deal in place to send Gronk to the Detroit Lions before the tight end threatened to retire.
Patriots fans are probably in a state of disbelief right now as they’ve just lost both of their franchise stars within a month of each other. And, this picture from Adam Schefter showing Brady and Gronk in Bucs jerseys probably won’t help them feel any better.
Take a look.

Even for Bucs fans, that image probably feels unreal. But it’s happening. Enjoy it.
