Four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski quickly dispelled the rumors on Wednesday that he was eyeing a potential return to the NFL, telling FOX Sports that “now it’s time to relax a little.”
“Crazy bro,” the former New England Patriots star told Schultz when asked about the report.

“They must know something about me that I don’t. I wish I still had those powers, because that would be cool if I did. But I was just in Australia for a few days. Now it’s time to relax a little. No football.”
Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan reported Tuesday that Gronkowski was “considering” coming out of retirement, adding that he was told “he loves Denver & [quarterback] Bo Nix.”

He announced his retirement again in 2022 after two seasons with the Buccaneers, and has since served as an NFL analyst for FOX Sports.
