NFL Rumors: Robert Kraft, Patriots Were Unaware Rob Gronkowski Was Mulling Comeback (via NESN)
Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots didn’t have any idea Rob Gronkowski was considering a comeback, and for good reason.
Things unfolded quickly Tuesday, with news breaking that Gronk was considering a comeback, and hours later he officially was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,If the Patriots knew Gronkowski was considering playing again, maybe they could’ve used that knowledge to keep Brady in New England.
“I don’t believe that Robert Kraft was aware that Gronk was considering it before Brady went to Tampa,” Rapoport said onIt was more to me like Brady went to Tampa and then the wheels kind of started turning for Brady and Gronk, and set into motion there. “… I mean, it took a month to get here from going on in Gronk’s head to thoughts to whispers to actually happening,” Rapoport added. “I don’t believe the Patriots knew anything about it before Brady signed in Tampa, because I don’t know if there was anything before Brady signed in Tampa.”
Obviously this makes quite a bit of sense. It’s been over a month since Brady became a member of the Bucs, an ample amount of time for Gronk to make a decision.
