New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has thrown another log into the fire of speculation that tight end Rob Gronkowski will return.
The CEO of the Super Bowl champions stated in a NFL Network pregame show for tonight’s game that the All-Pro tight end has yet to file his retirement papers and hopes the door is not closed on a reunion.
“We all love Gronk and I think the bottom line is, he hasn’t put his retirement papers in,” Kraft told NFL Network. “We can always pray and hope …. That’s a good academic argument that there is hope for us still with Gronk.”
NFL insider Adam Schefter also Tweeted out about the remarks.
