Rob Gronkowski shocked the football world about a month ago when he decided to come out of retirement. He was eventually traded from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he will be reunited with his one and only quarterback, Tom Brady. Fans are extremely excited about his comeback and the consensus is that the Buccaneers are primed and ready for a playoff run.

Recently, Gronkowski was interviewed by Ellen Degeneres where he was asked about his decision to come back to the NFL. As he explained, Brady had a little bit to do with it although it ultimately came down to wanting to be closer to his family.

Heading into the offseason, Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans probably had no idea that they would be in for one of the best free agency periods in the franchise's history. It all started when Tom Brady signed a two-year, $50 million contract with the squad. Then, just this week, the team made a trade with the New England Patriots to acquire none other than Rob Gronkowski who has decided to come out of retirement.

Needless to say, fans are very excited about this, including Jane Castor who is the mayor of Tampa Bay. Today, she issued a letter on her Twitter account which is addressed to the two new faces of the franchise. As you can tell, Castor is over the moon about having this quarterback-tight end duo in her city.

This past week has been fairly tumultuous for Tom Brady. It all started when he was told to leave an abandoned park in Tampa Bay after starting to workout by himself. Then, he barged into someone's home by accident as he thought the place belonged to offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. These mistakes are pretty hilarious when you think about it but apparently, NFL teams don't agree. In fact, some are calling for Brady and the Buccaneers to face stiff punishments.

According to Jason La Canfora, NFL teams believe the Buccaneers and Brady have been breaking rules pertaining to the Coronavirus-imposed stay at home order. Some teams think that Brady has been meeting with his staff a little too much during this time and that he is setting a bad example when it comes to social distancing. In fact, some squads have already told league officials about their displeasure.

Tom Brady has been in the news a lot lately and it's not exactly for football reasons. Of course, it all started when Brady was told to go home after disobeying the stay at home order so he could go work out at a park. More recently, Brady walked into the wrong house while trying to meet up with his offensive coordinator. Essentially, Brady broke into someone's home and only realized it when he looked up and saw a man not named Byron Leftwich in front of him. Needless to say, the last few days have been quite interesting for the six-time Super Bowl champion.

Today, Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes heard about Brady's mistake and took to Twitter to show some support to a fellow quarterback. As he explains, he did the same thing during his first year in Kansas City.

Rob Gronkowski retired from football back in 2019 but there was always this feeling that he would eventually come out to run it back with Tom Brady, one last time. Gronk had been teasing a return to the NFL and this week, he was traded from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, he will be joining Brady in Florida where they have a chance to do some serious damage in the NFC South.

As a way to pay tribute to the Patriots fans who supported him over the years, Gronk took to his Instagram where he penned a lengthy goodbye message. Gronk explains just how important New England is to him and how he will forever love those who run the organization.

Per Gronk:

“First and foremost, I want to thank the Patriots Organization for everything over the last 10 years. Without Mr. Kraft and Coach Belichick taking a chance on me in the 2010 draft, I wouldn’t be sitting here in this position in life, THANK YOU both as well my former teammates for everything over the years.

New England Patriot Fans, you guys have been nothing but amazing. I love you guys and appreciate your constant support for me big time over the last 10 years (even during retirement). THANK YOU all so much, the memories are incredible.”

While Patriots fans might be sad to see Gronk go, they can take solace in the fact that he helped them win three championships. Those numbers certainly soften the blow.

Tom Brady made a stunning revelation last month when he told the world that he would be leaving the New England Patriots after a 20-year relationship that saw him win six Super Bowls. Now, Brady is taking his talents to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who recently announced the acquisition of Rob Gronkowski. 

Brady is enjoying his time in Tampa Bay so much, that he is already leaving his mark on the city in the form of a string of accidental crimes. It all started earlier this week when Brady was caught working out in an empty park that was closed due to the Coronavirus. His most recent crime was when he accidentally walked into someone else's home, thinking he was at his offensive coordinator's house.

As it turns out, Brady seems to have a sense of humor about it all, as he displayed in his most recent tweet.

Oh, Florida, the home of alligators, weird crimes, and even weirder crimes. As it turns out, even their famous sports superstars aren’t exempt from the “Florida Man” antics. Yes, that’s right folks. Tom Brady, the latest member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, can now put a successful breaking and entering attempt on his resume. 

Of course, Brady didn’t actually mean to break into anyone’s home. It was simply an honest mistake. After all, Brady is getting up there in age. As the story goes, Brady meant to go to Buccaneer’s offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich’s home but accidentally barged through the next-door neighbor’s unlocked door.

The neighbor in question, David Kramer, spoke to TMZ about the situation and as he explains, Brady couldn’t have been more apologetic.

“I literally was just sitting here and I watch this tall guy just walk into my house,” Kramer said “He didn’t even look at me. He just like dropped his duffel bags down on the floor and just kind of like looked up at me and I’ll never forget the look on his face. 

“He was like, ‘I am so sorry! I am so sorry! Grabs his bags and just is gone. I don’t think I’ve seen someone leave a house faster!”

Earlier this week, Brady was told by authorities to stop practicing in a Tampa park as he was disobeying the Coronavirus-imposed stay at home order. Needless to say, one month into his tenure with the Buccaneers and he’s already breaking the rules. A fine start indeed.

Tom Brady hasn't even been in Tampa Bay for a month and he is already catching the eye of local authorities. Of course, it's not like Brady did anything exceptionally bad although perhaps you can say his recent actions were in poor judgment considering everything that has been going on in the world over the past few weeks.

As the story goes, Brady was working out all by himself in an empty park in Tampa Bay. Due to the Coronavirus, all of the parks are closed down which means there are authorities patrolling the area. An officer approached Brady without realizing it was him. It was once the officer got closer that he realized he was talking to one of the greatest football players ever. After being asked to leave the park, the City of Tampa Bay acknowledged the incident on social media

Yesterday, no one thought Rob Gronkowski was ever going to step foot on another football field. For the past year, Gronk has been educating fans on what he went through in terms of injuries and how it took a huge toll on his body. However, today, it was reported that Gronk was actually thinking of making a comeback. Just minutes ago, it was reported that Gronk was officially returning to the NFL and he would be doing so as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The New England Patriots sent Gronk and a seventh-rounder to the Bucs in exchange for a fourth-round pick. Now, Gronkowski will be reunited with the man he won six Super Bowls with, Tom Brady.

Rob Gronkowski retired back in 2019 but he still had a couple of years left on his contract with the New England Patriots. The Patriots kept his contract on the books just in case he decided to come back. However, Gronkowski always made it clear that he would never play with a quarterback other than Tom Brady. Well, now, Brady is with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and it just so happens that Gronk wants to play again. Put two and two together and you quickly realize that for Gronk to go to Tampa Bay, the Patriots would have to trade him. Today, that's exactly what they did.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Patriots are sending Gronk and a seventh-round pick to Tampa Bay in exchange for a fourth-rounder.
