Gronk is a vibe. The tight end is known to have a great time off-field in clubs and is a well-known party animal. TB12 has decided to use the skills of German breweries to entice Gronkowski back to sunny Florida.

In comparison, the entire wide receivers group for the Buccaneers has only 43 catches and 1 touchdown over 403 yards into Week 10 this season. Adding Gronk to the mix is definitely a good option right about now to rescue their Super Bowl dreams. Brady and the Bucs face a 6-3 Seattle Seahawks led by Geno Smith and will need all the help they can get during this international fixture.
