Drew Rosenhaus: No Bucs Contract Awaiting Rob Gronkowski
March 28th, 2022
NFL superagent Drew Rosenhaus
As the Bucs await Rob Gronkowski’s decision on whether he wants to play in 2022, his agent says there is no Tampa Bay contract waiting for him to sign.
Joe talked to superagent Drew Rosenhaus this morning at the NFL owners meetings in sunny Palm Beach. While Rosenhaus said last week that Gronk remains unsure he wants to continue his NFL career, Rosenhaus clarified for Joe that there is no Bucs contract agreed to by both parties and ready to be locked up if Gronk gives a green light.
Rosenhaus said he and the Bucs have no agreement and they’ll resume talks after (if?) Gronk decides to play.
The good news is Joe got no vibe from Rosenhaus that Gronk really wants out of the game. He also added that other teams are interested in the Hall of Fame tight end.

I take that as Gronk saying “ Show me yours and I’ll show you mine”

Just my guess.
but i think some of this has to do with the post June 1 cuts. After June 1 contracts can be signed (and Gronk can miss all the OTA’s). win-win-win

It’s up to Gronk but I’m pretty sure he’ll be back.

This is no issue. Why make an offer if the guy doesn’t know yet. Sounds like there’s an open line of communication and the Bucs have made it clear they want him and will make a contract work.
Bucs need to draft a TE on Day 2 regardless.

Bucs need to pursue another free agent tight end I mean they only have Brate they could use two more. Drafting a tight end is not an option BA doesn’t like to develop young offensive players ie Trask and Vaughn.

Sure, sure. See you at camp, Gronk.
March 28th, 2022 at 12:13 pm
^^poppycock

If Gronk were signing with team other than Bucs, he would’ve already done so.
March 28th, 2022 at 12:28 pm
Just driving the interest in his client
March 28th, 2022 at 12:30 pm
Has ASJ sobered up?……or, can Hainsey catch the ball?…….we need TEs…..
This is a non issue here….no contract offered……not surprised.

The Bucs will be the first to begin stashing unsigned players ( retired) until the last 1/3 of the season when the old former greats will get of their couches and return for the real season Suh / Gronk

Gronk is not going to play with anyone but Brady. So he either plays for Tampa or he doesn’t play at all. My bet is he plays and they are just waiting on the Bucs sign everyone they need to. Then Brady will rework his contract to free up money for Gronk.

Gronk plays w Tom or he doesn’t play at all.
March 28th, 2022 at 12:59 pm
I like fan81’s take. sounds about right
March 28th, 2022 at 1:09 pm
this is about cap space on tampa right now. Why sign Gronk when you can get a DT DE or RB or WR. Gronk gets signed when every last penny is spent on maximizing the the season, and Brady reups making space for Gronk and his friend Edelmann to join on friendly deals.

Show me the money honey. Gronk to the Bills.
March 28th, 2022 at 1:45 pm
Just rumors and drama.
Gronkowski won’t play with anyone but Brady. He knows it, Brady knows it, Licht & BA know it.
There is no rush.
It’s not about money or Gronk’s hometown.
March 28th, 2022 at 1:52 pm
Gronk isn’t coming back…and Brady is retired. I have this bridge in Brooklyn I’m looking to sell too.
March 28th, 2022 at 2:16 pm
This is just agent talk. Gronk 💯 percent will be back. He and the Bucs have an understanding . Maybe there is not a written contract waiting to be signed but they have a verbal understanding for sure. Just letting the Bucs work on other critical signings along with work on the salary cap. They would not just sit on the sidelines and not even look at TE’s in free agency unless they know they already have that covered. There is no point in asking his agent because you can’t believe anything an agent says. This is a non story!
March 28th, 2022 at 3:29 pm
Why even interview that clown? Whatever he says is pure spin.
March 28th, 2022 at 4:10 pm
Second nature to Drew, everything he says is a lie. Does anyone for a second think Gronk is not gonna be a buc?
My guess is drew has no offers because 31 teams know it is a wasted effort, he is staying with Brady!
March 28th, 2022 at 4:22 pm
When I see that picture, all I can think of is, “Next question!”
March 28th, 2022 at 4:36 pm
This offense didn’t need a prolific tight end with Winston so the only one who seems to need it badly is Brady. If Bucs gave him a higher salary than last year he would have already signed. He’s wanted not needed
March 28th, 2022 at 6:06 pm
They don’t have to make him an offer. He’ll decide after a few mini camps are done, but the truth is that he’ll play for whatever the Bucs can offer him. It’s not about the money.
March 28th, 2022 at 6:17 pm
He’ll play. He’s resting, healing, it’ll work out. As for Drew Rosenhaus, I wouldn’t believe a single thing that man says, ever.
March 29th, 2022 at 4:32 pm
Everybody saying he plays with Brady or not at all lol. Except Gronkowski himself said he’d like to play with Burrow, if not Brady. So oops lol.
March 29th, 2022 at 10:11 pm
Marla Fowler – That was when Brady said he was retiring… And just cuz he says he would like to play with Burrow doesn’t mean he’s literally saying that , he was just giving him a compliment.. Everyone in New England and here in the Tampa Bay area know that Gronk will be with the Bucs this year. We know how to read Gronk and he already said he is just making Brady sweat it out like Brady did to him . He’s in Tampa working out at the Bucs facility and this is just a non issue. Don’t know why this is even being talked about. Go Bucs
March 30th, 2022 at 5:29 am
Gronk isn’t going anywhere he and Brady are best friends. He had a chance to leave New England and didn’t budge. Money is not an issue ,. Dam the guy makes more doing TV promotions and Shoe Ads. 😂😂

Lived in CT. My whole life and grew up a Pat’s fan moved to Florida in 2020 and low and behold my 2 favorite players end up on the Bucs and the rest is history. Bucs need to drop the Bucks on Gronk just as much for his blocking ability as his ability to step up on the big stage. You want another Super Bowl Bucs then sign a proven winner that knows how to win the big games!!!
March 30th, 2022 at 10:23 pm
We don’t need him he’s old he needs to retire and enjoy his life
