TAMPA, Fla. -- While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did select a tight end to start the fourth round of the NFL draft Saturday -- taking Washington's Cade Otton with the 106th overall pick -- general manager Jason Licht said that would not affect the status of Rob Gronkowski, who remains undecided about playing in 2022.
"I'm still giving him that time," Licht said Friday night prior to the Buccaneers' selection. "We still talk. I think it didn't matter if we drafted two tight ends. It wouldn't matter. I think Rob welcomes that; the more the merrier for him.
