Rob Gronkowski Says He Considered Joining Bills After Tom Brady Retired in 2022

NFL fans almost got to see Rob Gronkowski catch passes from Josh Allen.

During an appearance on the New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce podcast (h/t TMZ Sports), the all-time great tight end revealed he and the Bills discussed a potential signing after Tom Brady temporarily retired ahead of the 2022 campaign.

"I was like, 'Ahh. Tom [Brady] retired. I'ma check out some other teams,'" he said. "I was actually in talks with the Buffalo Bills a little bit. They wanted me to come up there."

The two sides were never able to come to terms on a contract, and Brady ended up coming out of retirement and remaining with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
