The Facts: It might not mean anything significant as it relates to his career intentions, but with Gronkowski saying he is weighing his football future, he has still shown up at Gillette Stadium multiple times over the past couple of weeks.
Diehards Line:
While he might be visiting Gillette Stadium simply for treatment of his thigh, ESPN.com's Mike Reiss also views his time at the facility as a reflection of his being in a good place with how the season ended, both team-wise and personally. That doesn't guarantee his return in 2019, but it figures to at least be part of his decision-making process on whether to continue his career. Remember: Gronkowski has said he’s going to take some time before he decides whether to keep playing. He will turn 30 in May and has a $9 million base salary this season. ... It's a situation we'll continue watching.
