Patriots to trade Rob Gronkowski to Buccaneers
Rob Gronkowski wants to play football again.
More specifically, he wants to continue playing with Tom Brady.
And it appears he'll get his wish.
The 30-year-old is set to come out of retirement in conjunction with a trade that will send his contractual rights from New England to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed to USA TODAY Sports' Mike Jones. The Buccaneers, of course, signed Brady in March.
“Pending the physical, Rob has agreed to play for Tampa this season," Rosenhaus said in a text message. "He will honor his current contract at this time.”
ESPN and NFL Network were the first outlets to report the deal.
According to the two outlets, the Patriots agreed to send Gronkowski and a seventh-round draft pick to Tampa Bay in exchange for a fourth-rounder, pending a physical.
News of the proposed trade — and Gronkowski's impending return — came a little more than 48 hours before the start of this year's NFL draft, which is slated to begin Thursday night.
