Rob Gronkowski Likely To Return
7 years agoNew England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has expressed that he is likely to continue his career in 2018 rather than retire at 28 years old, according to sources close to him. However, sources say he still hasn't made his decision, but he is "pretty certain" that he will come back as long as quarterback Tom Brady remains with the organization. There are also lingering frustrations between Gronk and head coach Bill Belichick, according to sources close to each side. Gronkowski was physically and mentally fatigued from the high-strung culture with the organization after the 2017 season. Belichick has expressed frustration over Gronkowski and has questioned whether the tight end is "all-in." We'd expect Gronkowski to be back for at least another season, but the frustration on both sides is worth watching. If he's back in 2018, Gronk will remain a high-risk, high-reward elite fantasy tight end.
