Patriots Trade Gronk

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport & ESPN’s Adam Schefter have reported that TE Rob Gronkowski has been traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Sources say the terms of the trade:

• Tampa Bay gets Gronkowski and a 7th Round pick in the 2020 Draft
• Patriots get a 4th Round pick in the 2020 Draft

Rumors have swirled about Gronk coming out of retirement last season, however those never came to fruition. With ex-Pat QB Tom Brady in Tampa, it seemed inevitable that if Gronkowski came out of retirement, he would play with his former teammate in Tampa.
