As if this offseason weren’t interesting enough, superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski has decided to return from retirement to continue catching touchdown passes from an all-time great and his old quarterback, Tom Brady.
This leaves the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with three big-time tight ends in Gronk, Cameron Brate, and O.J. Howard. Howard, in particular, should be of interest to the Cincinnati Bengals, as they look to add weapons around their next franchise quarterback, who will almost certainly be Joe Burrow.
Even before the Bucs made a move for Gronkowski, Michael Lombardi of The Athletic reported that a league source told him that the team was attempting to trade Howard.
