The Tampa Bay Buccaneers pulled off a major steal with the acquisition of Tom Brady in the offseason. They followed that up with another star signing in the form of tight end Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski came out of retirement to link-up with former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in Florida.
