But Gronk seems to be at a stage where he is taking time to weigh out his options. Having retired once before in 2019 and returning in 2020 to win another Super Bowl title, the stakes need to be worth the risk.
He believes he will need little convincing to return to playing in the NFL.
The Buccaneers fans will hope that Gronk would return one last time to team up with Brady for one final Super Bowl run. But the decision firmly rests on his shoulders, and it could also involve staying in retirement this time.
