“Does This Mean Another Retirement Party?” Rob Gronkowski and Family Get Ready for New England Teammate’s Farewell From NFL

The 2023 offseason saw some legendary athletes hanging up their cleats. NFL legends J. J. Watt and Tom Brady announced their decision, which shook the league. But recently, a Patriots veteran declared that he would sail off to the sunset. TB12’s former teammate Devin McCourty announced his retirement and received a congratulatory response from another legendary teammate, Rob Gronkowski.

New England Patriots Safety Devin McCourty recently took to social media to announce his retirement after 13 years. McCourty is walking off as a three-time SB champion and a three-time All-Pro. His announcement led to a horde of reactions, and Rob Gronkowski was also among them.

LA-based team’s athlete pitched Devin McCourty for a change

Devin McCourty announced he would be hanging up his cleats. But that did not stop him from other franchise athletes pitching in. When the Safety athlete touched free agency, Los Angeles Chargers‘ Sebastian Joseph-Day tried to make a pitch on Twitter.

Since both are former Rutgers athletes, Joseph-Day tried to pitch an invite. However, Devin McCourty was quick to make a response. He mentioned, “😂😂😂😂I only look good in a pats uniform bro.” It led to him eventually announcing his retirement. 

After Gronk, Edelman, and Brady, McCourty hung up the cleats, and the Patriots’ Lombardi-winning dynasty is ending.
