3 years agoFree-agent tight end Rob Gronkowski said that he's not ready to prepare for the rigors of another NFL season just yet, but he also has yet to rule out a return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gronkowski missed five games with a rib injury last year with Tampa and finished with 55 catches for 802 yards and six touchdowns. The 32-year-old clearly doesn't want to participate in an offseason program and could wait until the start of training camp this summer to make a decision on whether he'll play in 2022. If Gronk plays this year, it'll almost certainly be with the Bucs and quarterback Tom Brady. He'll continue to be in the TE1 mix, but his lengthy injury history will make him a risk/reward selection.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
