According to reports, several Eagles players have reached out to the former Patriots tight end, specifically for the playoff run. Notably, when Gronkowski, also known as Gronk, was in the Patriots with Brady, they had a tremendous rivalry with the Eagles. In the 2018 Super Bowl, the Eagles beat Brady’s Patriots.

Safe to assume, Brady is not a big fan of the Eagles. Hence, it will be interesting to see his reaction if Gronk goes to the Eagles for the playoffs. It is worth noting that ‘The Iggles’ currently have the best record in the NFC. If they win their remaining games, they will certainly become the no.1 overall seed and will get a bye in the first round.

One sympathetic person wants Gronk to finally retire in peace.
Just let Gronk have his retirement. The NFL destroyed his body. Let the man finally rest.

Meanwhile, one fan thinks if Gronk comes out of retirement, he will play with only one quarterback and i.e. Brady.
No chance in hell he comes out of retirement to not play with Brady. Brady is the only QB he has played with

Speaking about Brady, there were lots of rumors about Gronk joining the Bucs once again after Brady’s initial struggle. However, Brady and the Bucs are now doing much better after 2 consecutive wins in the second half of the season. If the Bucs qualify for the playoffs, they might want to address the tight end position.
Anything could be possible before the playoffs, as most teams are looking to strengthen their roster. Maybe we will see Gronk once again donning the Bucs jersey and playing with his best friend Brady.
