""Here's some news. First, everyone, I am signing a one-day contract with the Patriots this week coming up to retire as a Patriot and be a Patriot for life just like all of you out here. So I'm going with the Patriots!""
"In all honesty, no one should really be all too surprised by this, considering the fact that Gronkowski spent the majority of his Hall of Fame career in New England with the Patriots. He was a second-round pick by them in the 2010 NFL Draft and spent nine years with the Patriots, winning three Super Bowls during that time."
"Gronk retired after the 2018 season due to the injuries he had sustained during his lengthy career, but returned in 2020 to join Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. There, the two won another Super Bowl trophy together, and while it's cute that Bucs fans thought they might have had a chance at claiming Gronk for life, his loyalties will officially lie in New England and with the Patriots. Beating the Bucs was already fun enough on its own, but now knowing that Gronkowski has officially chosen to retire a Patriot makes this victory even sweeter. What a week for the New England Patriots and here's to hoping things continue on this trajectory for them."
The New England Patriots are 8-2 and leading the AFC East after a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rob Gronkowski announced he will sign a one-day contract this week to retire as a Patriot. Gronkowski was a second-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft who spent nine seasons in New England, winning three Super Bowls before retiring after 2018 due to injuries. He returned in 2020 to join Tom Brady in Tampa Bay and won another Super Bowl. The one-day retirement will formally restore his long-term loyalty to New England and adds extra significance to the recent victory.
