Buccaneers officially trade for Rob Gronkowsi; O.J. Howard will be next

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots have come to terms on a deal that will send TE Rob Gronkowski to be reunited with his former teammate Tom Brady.

The Buccaneers will trade a fourth-round pick for Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick from the Patriots, according to reports from Adam Schefter. The trade is pending a physical from Gronkowski.

Gronkowski is slated to make $9.8 million this season. The veteran tight end has now had a year off from football and has had an opportunity to heal after several seasons of taking beatings with the Patriots.
