Rob Gronkowski Receiving Sudden Interest to Step Out of Retirement, but for Franchise That Best Friend Tom Brady Hates

The friendship between Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady is well-documented in the NFL, with many comparing them to comic book characters Batman and Robin. After the end of the 2022 NFL season, Gronkowski announced his retirement from professional football for the second time. As for Brady, he came out of his retirement and is currently playing in his 23rd NFL season.

As the Bucs were struggling a lot with their form, many experts and fans urged Gronkowski to come out of retirement and help Tom Brady. However, he remained subdued regarding his return to football once again. Now, it seems like some players have personally reached out to Gronkowski for a possible return to the NFL.

According to reports, several Eagles players have reached out to the former Patriots tight end, specifically for the playoff run. Notably, when Gronkowski, also known as Gronk, was in the Patriots with Brady, they had a tremendous rivalry with the Eagles. In the 2018 Super Bowl, the Eagles beat Brady’s Patriots.

Safe to assume, Brady is not a big fan of the Eagles. Hence, it will be interesting to see his reaction if Gronk goes to the Eagles for the playoffs. It is worth noting that ‘The Iggles’ currently have the best record in the NFC. If they win their remaining games, they will certainly become the no.1 overall seed and will get a bye in the first round.

NFL fans react to the rumor of Eagles players approaching Rob Gronkowski for the playoffs

After the rumor about the Eagles players trying to recruit Gronk, fans certainly did not hold back against the Eagles. One fan mocked the Eagles and wrote:

Another fan took a dig at the city of Philadelphia.

One fan thinks it will be an embarrassing season for them if they don’t win the Super Bowl.

One Twitter user took a dig at Eagles QB Jalen Hurts while praising Brady.

One more Twitter user mocked Hurts.

One fan felt the Eagles were desperate.

One sympathetic person wants Gronk to finally retire in peace.

Meanwhile, one fan thinks if Gronk comes out of retirement, he will play with only one quarterback and i.e. Brady.

Speaking about Brady, there were lots of rumors about Gronk joining the Bucs once again after Brady’s initial struggle. However, Brady and the Bucs are now doing much better after 2 consecutive wins in the second half of the season. If the Bucs qualify for the playoffs, they might want to address the tight end position.

Anything could be possible before the playoffs, as most teams are looking to strengthen their roster. Maybe we will see Gronk once again donning the Bucs jersey and playing with his best friend Brady.
