Gronkowski, who is currently a free agent, spoke about his future in the NFL with TMZ Sports on Tuesday and said he is not ready to return to football.

“Right now, I’m not ready to get back out on that field,” Gronkowski told TMZ Sports. “I’m not ready to commit to the game of football right now.”

Gronkowski already retired from professional football after the 2018 season. However, his retirement only lasted one year before he decided to return to NFL and follow Brady to Tampa Bay. The duo won the Super Bowl in their first season with the Bucs before being eliminated in the Divisional Round in the 2022 postseason.

Gronkowski had a productive campaign last season despite missing five games due to various injuries. He made 55 receptions for 802 yards while adding six receiving touchdowns.

If Gronkowski decides he still wants to continue playing, his return to the Buccaneers shouldn’t be a forgone conclusion, even with Brady around. There are reportedly multiple other Super Bowl contenders who would be happy to add Gronk to their roster, with the Buffalo Bills being a prime candidate.

But this didn’t stop Gronk from finding a way to have some fun.

Like all NFL players, Gronkowski had to take part in a virtual offseason that included filming his workouts and sending them to the Bucs’ coaching staff. While the 31-year-old veteran was methodical in his approach initially, it quickly got “boring” for him. So he pulled a genius prank on Tampa Bay strength and conditioning coach Anthony Piroli.

When he was doing sprints, Gronkowski would film a week-worth of material in just one day. He would swap the shirts he had after few reps, making it look like it was a different workout. Then, he would just roll-out a clip with a different shirt each day.

“I started tricking him. I would bring my shirt out, and then I would bring another shirt out, so when I’m running the sprints, I would film myself, like, 15 times for that session,” Gronk admitted in a recent interview with Fox. “But I would run it in a couple of different shirts because you only had to send in two or three reps. So when the next time came, I didn’t have to film myself because I already filmed myself running in a different shirt every time on that one day.”

According to Gronkowski, Piroli didn’t notice anything unusual and completely bought into the scam.

The Bucs coaching staff will probably forgive Rob Gronkowski for his antics, especially since he was productive for them in 2020. He had 45 receptions for 623 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season while adding two catches for 43 yards in the playoffs.

Gronkowski won the 24/7 belt during WrestleMania 36 after pinning his real-life friend Mojo Rawley. However, due to specific rules that allow anyone to challenge the current 24/7 champion at any time and any place, it was only a matter of time before someone makes an attempt to take the belt from Gronk.

R-Truth ended up being the most persistent and crafty challenger, managing to pin down Gronkowski while the 31-year-old was filming a social media video in his backyard. This was the 36th time that Truth claimed the 24/7 Champion Belt since the championship was introduced in May 2019.

Rob Gronkowski is a longtime WWE fan and has made several cameo appearances on wrestling shows in the past. After retiring following the 2018 NFL season, Gronkowski officially joined the organization and has served as WrestleMania 36 host. He was expected to have a prominent role on WWE shows in the future, but that is unlikely to happen now that Gronk returned to professional football.

Gronkowski officially unretired in April to join Buccaneers and team up again with quarterback Tom Brady.

Gronkowski initially retired following the 2018 season as a member of New England Patriots, citing injuries and mental health as reasons for walking away from pro football after nine seasons. But it looks like the year off made the 30-year-old reconsider his decision.

“I’m back. I always said when I have that feeling and it feels right, I will be ready to take the field again. And I have that feeling. I’m ready,” Gronk told FoxSports, confirming the news.

Gronkowski was reportedly only willing to end his retirement if he was to play with Brady again. Patriots honored his wishes, agreeing to trade him to Tampa Bay in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Bucs confirmed the transaction on social media later on Tuesday.

“Rob Gronkowski is one of the best tight ends in NFL history and he plays the game with the type of passion and desire that sets him apart,” said Buccaneers’ general manager Jason Licht in a statement. “Rob has played his entire career alongside Tom Brady, and their accomplishments speak for themselves. Together they have developed the type of chemistry on and off the field that is crucial to success.”

Rob Gronkowski spent his entire career with New England Patriots, helping the team win three Super Bowls. During his time as a pro, Gronkowski established himself as one of the best tight ends in the history of the game, earning four First-team All-Pro honors and being selected to Pro Bowl five times.

Gronkowski currently sits at 521 career receptions for 7,861 yards and 79 touchdowns.

The latest report about Gronkowski’s return to football came from respected NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport. According to Rapoport’s recent story, Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft is trying to get Gronkowski to unretire for their upcoming playoff run.

Rapoport reports that Kraft met with Gronkowski when the five-times Pro Bowler was cleaning out his locker and told him he wants him to return for “November, December, and a playoff run.” New England’s owner also said that the team would welcome him and everyone hopes he can change his mind.

However, despite Kraft’s attempts, Rob Gronkowski seems like he is staying put. Rapoport says that a source close to the 30-year-old told him that Gronkowski is remaining by his retirement despite the efforts to put him back on the field.

Also, there is not much time left for Gronkowski to get on the field if he would be interested in that. NFL rules require a player to get off the reserve/retired list before Week 13 in order to be eligible to play in the season. This means that if Gronkowski doesn’t return in November, he won’t dress up in 2019 for sure.

Despite playing just nine seasons in the league, Gronkowski managed to have a Hall of Fame-worthy career. He won three Super Bowl with the Pats, while also earning five Pro Bowl appearances and four First-Team All-Pro honors.
