In the past, TE Rob Gronkowski has drawn the retirement shift before in his career. However, not too long after, Tom Brady lured him back into action after TB12’s jump toward the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Brady-Gronk pair also won a Super Bowl in their initial season with the franchise.
In recent times, Rob Gronkowski has pulled up a retirement joke at the expense of Tom Brady. It all began when NFL reporter Tom Pelissero shared a retirement scoreboard, with Gronk scoring two and TB12 with one. But Rob, being the funny guy, leaves a playful reaction to Pelissero’s tweet. It references Brady’s competitive nature and will not lose any competition.
TE Gronkowski tweets, “Be careful, Tom doesn’t like to lose [Rolling on the Floor Laughing Emoji].”
Be careful, Tom doesn’t like to lose 🤣 https://t.co/wKw9cbr8ih

To give some context, Gronkowski has pursued retirement before. It is his second time doing so. Tom Brady did the same upon announcing his retirement after his 2021 campaign ended. But in just 41 days, he pulled up a Gronkowski-style comeback to be back for some waltzing on the turf. Although Brady’s contract with the Buccaneers has just a year left. Either he could attract an extension, sign with a different franchise, or turn himself into an analyst.

A user is heart-wrenched over Gronk’s retirement and says TB12 won’t win another Lombardi without him. But another user believes Tom stands a chance without Gronk this year.
Dude he can win superbowl without him the year he had without him he had 0 receivers that could catch at least this time he has quite a few great receivers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin
