REPORT: NFL Insider Believes Tom Brady And Rob Gronkowski Could Reunite Next Year, But Not With The Buccaneers
Rob Gronkowski doesn't believe Tom Brady will ride off into the sunset once the Buccaneers' 2022 campaign is over.
Brady's football future remains entirely up in the air as the NFL's regular season winds down. The seven-time Super Bowl champion isn't thinking about what's next, as his current focus is entirely on leading Tampa Bay to a second consecutive NFC South title.
Well, if Brady decides to come back, it is not crazy to believe that his pal Gronkowski would come out of retirement and join him for the third time.
Indeed, in his latest piece with The Athletic, NFL analyst Jeff Howe proposed a mind-blowing scenario that would see Brady and Gronkowski reunite once again, this time with the Las Vegas Raiders:
Brady and Davante Adams would be a dominant duo. Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow can command the middle of the field, which is an element the Bucs have lacked this season. And if Brady busted out the conch shell to get Gronk to Vegas, he'd be cannonballing at Drai's before the echo faded.»
Brady is slated to become a free agent this off-season. Despite heading for his 46th birthday in August, he said that retirement is the «furthest thing» from his mind this week. The free-agent availability and Brady seeming to leave the door open to continue his NFL career are critical pieces to this puzzle.
Josh McDaniels, his former offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots, is running Las Vegas now and will be looking for an experienced quarterback to turn the key on a depth chart with significant money sunken into it by team owner Mark Davis.
