The Facts: Gronkowski has told New England that he’s interested in playing football again — and would want to do it with the Bucs and QB Tom Brady. A trade would have to be worked out for this to happen.

Diehards Line: According to ESPN's Jeff Darlington, Gronk reuniting with Brady -- wherever Brady ended -- always felt like a real scenario behind the scenes. "I can’t understate the appreciation, on and off the field," Darlington wrote, "they have for each other. Gronk was done with the Patriots. ... Bbut he never wanted to be done catching TDs from Brady."
