It seems like Rob Gronkowski might be ready to come out of retirement and rejoin his best buddy Tom Brady, this time in Las Vegas. While the Broncos have been mentioned as a potential landing spot, the Raiders make the most sense for Gronk.
He’s already retired once and returned to play with Brady in Tampa Bay, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility for him to do it again. Plus, the Raiders’ new general manager, John Spytek, was with the Buccaneers during Gronkowski’s time there, so there’s a familiarity factor.
The Raiders already have a star tight end in Brock Bowers, but Gronkowski’s presence would add another dimension to their offense. They could create some dangerous two-tight end sets that would be a nightmare for opposing defenses.
Gronkowski is still in great shape, and he’s only 35 years old. He’s also been keeping busy covering the NFL, which might have reignited his passion for the game.
While the Broncos and Bengals are also potential landing spots, the Raiders seem like the most likely destination for Gronkowski. He has strong ties to the team, and they have a need for another playmaker on offense. It would be a reunion that would excite fans and make the Raiders a serious contender in the AFC.
