Report: Percentage Chance Of A Gronkowski Comeback Released

Is there a chance that Rob Gronkowski returns to the field? Of course. We vote “yes” for the Gronkowski comeback.

The former tight end shocked everyone with his decision to retire after the Super Bowl. Gronk waited for too long to make a final decision, and many thought that he’d stay with the Patriots. Well, Gronk decided to go.

Although he denied the rumors of a possible return to the league, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk said that the odds of a potential comeback at 40%.

Florio explained that quarterback Tom Brady may affect Gronk’s decision to return to the field. He said that head coach Bill Belichick may help Gronk change his mind.

“It’s also believed that coach Bill Belichick, who has declined to discuss the hypothetical possibility that Gronkowski will return, will not be an impediment to an unretirement,” Florio writes. “Although Belichick easily could take the position that he doesn’t want to create a precedent that encourages veterans to retire through the parts of the calendar that they don’t like and then return for the good stuff, Belichick has been very supportive of Gronkowski, we’re told. Also, a general softening of Belichick has been noticed, with a different side emerging and an approach that is more player-friendly.”

Gronk may not miss the money, but he will sure miss the thrill.

“There’s definitely going to be times when you miss it and everything,” Gronkowski told The Rich Eisen Show a few weeks back. “I would always say that it’s still the offseason right now. I mean I can’t really say how I’m going to feel about it when the games start rolling around and everything. You know, I just felt like it was time. I feel really good right now and it was just definitely something I felt like it was the right time and the right thing to do. To have that load off your back, I mean I’ve been playing football for 15 years straight in a row of that grind. Just relaxing right now feels good.”

Well, let’s see what happens next. Hopefully, Gronk will come back.
