Rob Gronkowski may have retired this offseason, but there's still a chance he could return to the football field in 2019 with the New England Patriots.
In fact, according to B/R's Mike Freeman, it's a strong likelihood:
"Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski made a public appearance recently and said he was done with football. What I can tell you is few people, including sources on the Patriots, believe that. The belief is that once the season gets going, and Gronkowski starts missing football, he will rejoin the team. It's not just a hunch, sources say; you can count on it.
