Rob Gronkowski has officially hit the tail button for withdrawal. The four-time Super Bowl-winning tight end is heading towards his retirement home after announcing his decision over social media. However, one of his replies on Twitter sparks the netizens’ interest, and it features Tom Brady.

In the past, TE Rob Gronkowski has drawn the retirement shift before in his career. However, not too long after, Tom Brady lured him back into action after TB12’s jump toward the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Brady-Gronk pair also won a Super Bowl in their initial season with the franchise.

In recent times, Rob Gronkowski has pulled up a retirement joke at the expense of Tom Brady. It all began when NFL reporter Tom Pelissero shared a retirement scoreboard, with Gronk scoring two and TB12 with one. But Rob, being the funny guy, leaves a playful reaction to Pelissero’s tweet. It references Brady’s competitive nature and will not lose any competition.

TE Gronkowski tweets, “Be careful, Tom doesn’t like to lose [Rolling on the Floor Laughing Emoji].”

To give some context, Gronkowski has pursued retirement before. It is his second time doing so. Tom Brady did the same upon announcing his retirement after his 2021 campaign ended. But in just 41 days, he pulled up a Gronkowski-style comeback to be back for some waltzing on the turf. Although Brady’s contract with the Buccaneers has just a year left. Either he could attract an extension, sign with a different franchise, or turn himself into an analyst.
