2 years agoFree-agent tight end Rob Gronkowski said that he is retiring. The 33-year-old will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer after winning four Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and also earning a spot on the NFL's 100th Anniversary Team and the 2010s All-Decade Team. Gronkowski made five Pro Bowl and was named an All-Pro four times in his nine seasons with the Patriots, and he finished up his NFL career the last two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, catching 100 of his 166 targets for 1,425 yards and 13 touchdowns in 28 games. In 11 NFL seasons spanning 143 games, Gronk put up an astounding 621 receptions for 9,286 yards and 92 touchdowns for the Patriots and Bucs. Cameron Brate just became a lot more attractive as a high-end TE2/low-end TE1 target in fantasy with Gronk not coming back.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
