Rob Gronkowski is retiring from the NFL.
Again.
The 33-year-old, who came out of his 2019 retirement to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2020 and 2021 campaigns, told Jordan Schultz on Tuesday that he will retire:
Jordan SchultzBreaking: Rob Gronkowski tells me he’s retiring. <br><br>The future first ballot Hall of Famer won four Super Bowls while earning a spot on the NFL’s 100th Anniversary Team and 2010s All-Decade Team.<br><br>An all-time great officially hangs em up at 33 years old.
The tight end's previous contract made him an unrestricted free agent after the 2021 season, but he is stepping away from the game after an incredible career that featured 621 receptions for 9,286 yards and 92 touchdowns.
