Was contemplating adding him as a potential playoff stash, but just got an alert about this interview and figured it's probably best to play the Wait game

Totally worthless in fantasy in that case. He will be just barely be getting up to full snaps around the fantasy playoffs.
I did pick him back up in a few dynasty leagues in case he does come back and I can find a believer..

Before you can come out of retirement, you have to take the free money from whichever network wants to give it to you.
It's step 1 in the comeback playbook. If anything his return seems even more likely, especially with Watson being released.

Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft, on the NFL Network pregame show, said Rob Gronkowski has yet to officially file retirement papers. Kraft said he can always hope and pray that Gronkowski might come back.
Of course, last time Kraft hoped for a happy ending, it did not work out so well for him.

He's giddy.
Oh man he's gonna be bad at this. Good for him though, he's having fun. I don't think he'll go back to football, I feel like we're all pretty much agreed on that. Gonna finally cut him in my TE Premium deep roster dynasty this week I think.
He already made a reference to it being easier to get a contract done with Fox than with the Pats lol...I think the people who say he would have kept playing for more money are right.

Gronk is gonna be unbearable. He's trying to enunciate and it's hilarious. But it won't be after a game or two of this. At least he's just part of the pregame/halftime/postgame crew and not calling the games.

This guy is worse than even I expected. He makes Michael Irvin look like a modern-day Demosthenes.

Fox obviously didn't make him audition, so that must have been his audition tape for WWE.

Honestly that corny crap will fly perfectly on the pregame and halftime shows. Most of those guys are terrible and way over the top.
Would be different if he was on the broadcast like Witten was.

Holy crap that was cringeworthy AF.
Was that a pro wrestling audition?
He doesn't appear to be coming back as a TE anytime soon.

that was painfully amateur-ish

I wonder how much they’re paying Gronk to just be Gronk for a couple minutes.

It's painful to watch someone that nervous speak. He needs to come back to the NFL pronto. He'll save a little face a la Witten. He could be a Patriot on Monday.

NE doesn’t have the cap space to bring back Gronk at the moment. If he really wanted to play hardball, he could file for reinstatement and force the Patriots’ hand to either clear cap room or release him.
I’ve said all along that money was the reason Gronk retired, and I don’t think much has changed. Assuming Gronk decided he had interest in coming back, who knows if he would play for the remaining pro rated amount of his $9 million salary. It was rumored at the time that he wanted WR type money in the $15 million a year range. IMO, if NE had offered him a three year, $50 million extension with half guaranteed he would never have left.
That being said, NE would not offer a deal like that. Too much money. Gronk too many injuries. Too old to sign for big dollars into his thirties. I think if Gronk has a legit interest in coming back, it would be next year.

Up hill battle to even play next year. I doubt the league allows for CBD, even though they should. It doesn't sound like he wants to stop using CBD and I doubt he will.

That request was almost 8 months ago. It’s very unlikely at this point. Gronk would have to be on the NE in less than 3 weeks.

Rob Gronkowski Shares An Old Tom Brady Facebook Video That Could Hint At A Comeback
November 17, 2019 at 4:06 pm
BOSTON (CBS) — On Saturday night, Rob Gronkowski teased a big announcement coming up on Tuesday. That alone shouldn’t signal a potential comeback from the tight end.
But what he shared on Facebook on Sunday will certainly fuel the comeback fire. Gronkowski went with a throwback from Tom Brady’s facebook page, when the quarterback did his best Anchorman impression and called for his receiving corps to “assemble” with a conch shell. Gronkowski re-posted that video Sunday afternoon, asking “Tom Brady, do you think this still works?”
Bring on the comeback speculation — again.

I'm calling it now--he's only implying a potential comeback to get people to pay attention to his announcement, making it a big event. But it will be an announcement of something else entirely and he's just riding the hype/hope wave to it right now.

I mean, it would be smart marketing for a guy who is really only known for one thing. It's up to you whether that is pathetic I guess.
