Rob Gronkowski Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said it's "status quo" with free-agent tight end Rob Gronkowski, who remains undecided about whether to play in 2022. Bowles said there is no timetable for Gronk to make a decision. The 33-year-old tight end is in no rush to make a decision, but if he does come back to play another season, it'll almost certainly be with Tampa and quarterback Tom Brady. If Gronk does decide to hang them up, though, the Buccaneers would be set to roll with Cameron Brate as their starter at the position. They also drafted Cade Otton in the fourth round of this year's draft to back him up. Most folks expect Gronkowski to make a decision on his playing future this summer around training camp.

Free-agent tight end Rob Gronkowski said that he's not ready to prepare for the rigors of another NFL season just yet, but he also has yet to rule out a return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gronkowski missed five games with a rib injury last year with Tampa and finished with 55 catches for 802 yards and six touchdowns. The 32-year-old clearly doesn't want to participate in an offseason program and could wait until the start of training camp this summer to make a decision on whether he'll play in 2022. If Gronk plays this year, it'll almost certainly be with the Bucs and quarterback Tom Brady. He'll continue to be in the TE1 mix, but his lengthy injury history will make him a risk/reward selection.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora believes that free-agent tight end Rob Gronkowski will re-sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now that quarterback Tom Brady is back for another season. The Buffalo Bills were interested in adding Gronk this offseason, but that was before Brady unretired. If Gronkowski, who reportedly is torn on playing in 2022, does decide to continue his playing career, it's hard to imagine him playing anywhere else than next to Brady. Gronk and Brady are second to only Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison on the all-time list for most touchdowns by a QB and pass-catcher in NFL history. With O.J. Howard now in Buffalo, Gronk would surely be a strong TE1 option, albeit with injury risk, if he returns to Tampa.
