It seems like Rob Gronkowski might be coming out of retirement, and the Cincinnati Bengals should be on high alert. While the Broncos and Raiders have been mentioned as potential landing spots, the Bengals have a unique connection with Gronkowski that could make them the frontrunners.
Gronkowski has previously expressed his admiration for Joe Burrow, even saying he’d love to play with the young quarterback. And let’s not forget that Burrow himself reached out to Gronkowski, though the tight end initially thought it was a prank.
The Bengals are also a team on the cusp of a Super Bowl, which is something that would surely appeal to Gronkowski. He’s not going to come back to the NFL just to play; he wants to win another championship.
While the Raiders have Tom Brady and John Spytek as connections, they also have a star tight end in Brock Bowers. The Bengals, on the other hand, have a clear need at the tight end position, and Gronkowski would be a perfect fit in their offense.
It’s still early in the offseason, and anything can happen. But the Bengals should be doing everything they can to lure Gronkowski to Cincinnati. He’s a future Hall of Famer who could be the missing piece they need to win a Super Bowl.
