The Patriots and Buccaneers are discussing a trade involving Rob Gronkowski, a deal that would reunite the retired tight end with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and multiple reports.
Gronkowski, who turns 31 next month, has one year and $10 million left on his contract with the Patriots, and the teams have talked a trade ahead of Thursday's NFL draft, sources told Schefter.
Gronkowski, arguably the best tight end in NFL history, announced his retirement in March 2019 after a nine-year career during which he won three Super Bowl rings and was one of the league's most colorful personalities.
