Bucs Move Fuels Rumor of a Gronk Return

A contract restructuring is fueling rumors of a return to the Bucs for Rob Gronkowski. His agent Drew Rosenhaus said he wouldn’t be suprised to see Gronk go for one last Super Bowl ring with Tom Brady and the Bucs this season. And a reported money move by the Bucs tonight is adding fuel to the Gronk return rumor fire.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that a source has told him that Tampa Bay Buccaneers guard Shaq Mason has made a deal that saves $6 million in salary cap space for the Bucs. The tweet has the internet buzzing tonight… speculating that this could free up money to get Gronk back in the game.

Tom Brady spoke to Pro Football Talk about what losing Gronk means to him: “You’re missing someone that was one of the all-time greats. You can’t replace that.” Brady spoke as if he’s accepted Rob Gronkowski’s final decision to leave the game, but who knows? The Bucs season begins this weekend with a Sunday Night Game in Dallas against the Cowboys. [Source: PFT]
