"Love the game. Definitely blessed with all the opportunities the game of football has given me, and relationships -- obviously here in New England Patriots for nine seasons, and down in Tampa for two. But done with football and stepping my feet into the business world, business ventures, and just seeing what's out there and where I can find my place."

Drew Rosenhaus, saying it might be hard for Gronkowski to turn down Tom Brady if Brady asked him to return to football, Gronkowski said that won't be happening.

Gronkowski and Brady's bonding

Gronkowski, 33, had previously retired after the 2018 season with the Patriots because of injuries. He largely credits Brady for setting the expectations for his career, and it was Brady who summoned him out of retirement in 2020 to play for the Bucs.
