Rob Gronkowski Says He Might Have Rejoined Patriots Had Tom Brady Stayed( via NESN)
because he refused to catch passes from any other quarterback. The two played nine seasons together in New England and hooked up for 78 touchdowns, by far the most Brady has thrown to any player. Randy Moss is second on that list at 39.
After retiring in the wake of Super Bowl LIII and not playing in 2019 , Gronkowski approached Brady about the possibility of teaming back up. This week, that plan“We actually got together two months ago,” Gronkowski said. “We rarely talked about what his decision was going to be. But we did talk about, for one second, real quick like, ‘Hey, I’m kind of getting that fire underneath me again,’ I told him. I said, ‘I’m definitely interested in the decision you make.
“That’s where the conversation started. He was all fired up and all juiced up about it. That was pretty cool at the moment. In the end, it happened over time, which is pretty neat.” The Bucs sent a 2020 fourth-round draft pick to the Patriots in exchange for Gronkowski’s rights and a seventh-rounder.
