Rob Gronkowski return rumors
Saying he was “bored” not playing football, retired tight end Rob Gronkowski contacted the Bucs last month about a possible return to the team.
The Bucs had several conversations with Gronkowski around Thanksgiving about him possibly reuniting with quarterback Tom Brady to help the struggling squad secure a playoff berth.
Gronkowski told the Bucs he had been working out. He and the club discussed several options, including signing the 33-year-old to the practice squad to give him a couple weeks to get back into football shape, although they were willing to add him to the active roster.
“It was more of a conversation than anything else,” Bucs coach Todd Bowles said. “Usually, when you have to think about playing, you probably don’t want to play. When it’s just a discussion, I didn’t think much of it at the time.”
The Bucs are 6-8 but still hold a one-game lead in the NFC South entering Sunday night’s game at Arizona.
Gronkowski first retired after the 2018 season with the Patriots. He agreed to rejoin Brady in Tampa Bay in 2020, and the Bucs traded for his rights from New England.
Gronkowski played in all 16 regular-season games in 2020, catching 45 passes for 623 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season.
Rob Gronkowski wife
Model Camille Kostek and Rob Gronkowski have been dating since 2015.
It is on record that the two lovebirds first met at a Patriots charity event in 2013.
They split their time equally between Foxborough, Massachusetts, and Tampa, Florida.
We gathered that Camille has been a cheerleader since the age of 19, and she has been very supportive in the career of her partner.
Gronkowski and Kostek met at a Goodwill charity event in 2013 when they were filling turkey baskets for families in need.
“Camille and I met during Thanksgiving week. Therefore, I am very thankful for the charity event we met at,” Gronkowski later told PEOPLE of the pair’s introduction.
At the time, Kostek was a Patriots cheerleader and Gronkowski was in his third season with the team. Kostek worried that she could be breaking a rule by dating a player, so after Gronkowski’s teammate gave her his number, she decided to keep the exchange to herself.
“I didn’t make it locker room talk. I never spoke about it. Some of my captains now are probably like, ‘Girl, what?’ So, and then I just sat on it for a couple of days and then I FaceTimed him,” she later explained on SiriusXM’s This Is Happening with Mark Zito and Ryan Sampson.
The couple attended the New York City premiere of the Apple TV+ Christmas flick, starring Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell. Kostek, who shared a video from the red carpet on Instagram, stunned in a pink gown, while Gronkowski looked handsome in a blue plaid suit.

In 2012, Gronk signed with the Patriots for an additional six seasons. His extension deal, valued at $54 million, was the largest agreement ever made between a team and a tight end in NFL history at the time.
During his time in the NFL, Gronk earned around $60 million in salary alone. He also earned tens of millions more off the field through endorsements with companies like Tide.
In his 2015 book “It’s Good To Be Gronk,” Rob claimed to not have spent a dime of his NFL salary and instead lives exclusively off his endorsement deal money. In addition to Tide, Gronkowski has endorsed Nike, Dunkin’ Donuts, Visa, T-Mobile, Lyft, Cheerios, and more.
PLB Sports released a cereal called Gronk Flakes in 2012 and followed it with Gronk’s Hot Sauce three years later, and Monster Energy released a signature “Gronk” flavor in 2016.
