Gronk retires

[Otters27]

Well he went out on top. Guy probably wants to be able to walk when he turns 59 and a half

he wil miss football too much and come back after a year off

Cmon, laker. Show proper respect.

Guy was one of the top offensive weapons in game. Played thru injuries. Gave everything to his team.

Brady won without him vs ATL. He meant nothing

That going a little too far.

[stevek173]

He wasn’t the same player last two years but still was good in Super Bowl and a superb blocker throughout. Good decision to walk away while he still can.

Why did you stalk my family and harass them?

That's criminal activity.

We are pressing charges.

[GUMMO77]

Hard to believe he is only 29

[cincinnatikid513]

gronk will be back, he will get that itch like witten did and return, or maybe if pats are struggling they will offer him a nice contract mid season, will be good for him to rest and recover and get away from the tb12 method from the weird trainer guy

In your decade of stupid posts, this is right up there in your top 10.

Best TE in NFL history. Only TE defensive coordinators actually had to gameplan for. Gonzalez, Sharpe, Gates all HoF but they were never the most dominant offensive player in league at any point in their careers.

Like others have said, it wouldn’t shock me if he returned to NE by week 10 for another SB run with Brady.

Whatever he decides to do, his future is bright. He isn’t a big dumb oaf like he acts in media. Smart guy who plays it up.

[Plaza23]

He's a puss to me. Jason Witten is coming back next season at 37. Antonio Gates just played his age 38 season. And this guy retires before he's even 30.

He's lucky Aaron Hernandez got popped for murder. Otherwise, Gronk would have shared time and never been thought of as that good. Gronk owes Brady everything, just like that entire organization does

[brooks85]

he is probably going to try hollywood and being like The Rock.

Something is definitely up.... can't believe he's retiring.

From the other side of the coin.... what's the point of getting hit all the time? He got paid... time to enjoy the money.

the real story is that the team didn't want to pay that 9m on his final year. wanted to slash him to 2m plus incentives or cut him. so he retired instead. wanted that 10 year annuity pension that you get in addition to regular pension for 10 years of service. look it up.

whos brady going to throw the ball too all they have is eldddles

Lol. It does not matter who plays in New England. Brady can play with kids and win.

I remember some story about him and the rock(I think they are buddies), pretty sure The Rock is in his ear telling him how much better the action movie biz is.

he's probably retiring because the pats didn't want to pay his salary since he is declining and he was going to be traded or released

Or when the money starts running out.

Those fat NFL checks will no longer be coming in.. It's a HUGE financial adjustment for these Athletes.. At 29 Gronk is spending and not saving if I had to guess..

I give it 3 years tops.. Gronk will be back.

Jason Witten came back at what 37 years old now ..http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...urn-to-cowboys

It's always about the money -


The Cowboys enticed Witten with a financial incentive. Witten will receive up to $5 million to come out of retirement, a source told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Witten's deal has a base value of $3.5 million, Rapoport adds.

Is that right Cincy?

Well I know these paid athletes have huge homes, fancy cars, mortgage payments to pay, spending habits to keep up, and more bills to pay, etc.. When the money stops coming in and only goes out, the financial crunch then happens over time.. That why I said give it 3 years..

Gronk will be fine for now.. Give it a few years with no BIG NFL income, we'll see what happens with Gronk down the road?

and of course SBR's resident attention who0re needed his attention today so he swoops in with another dumbf*ck post of the year as per usual

[BigdaddyQH]

As usual, Lakerboy is making an arse out of himself. Lakerboy, you are nothing more than a dumb s**t. As far as Grok's future is concerned, he will "unretire" if the Pats make the playoffs this season. Mark my words.

[will2survive]

I agree with the overrated part but still hof and an all time great. Kellen Winslow Sr. was better than Gronk. He's a top 3 of TE's plua he had the best qb of all time.

[JIBBBY]

Gronk was very tough, he was a gamer for sure.. You guys are smoking stuff if you're hating on Gronks play.. Dude made big catches in big games.. Usually got open and was double teamed alot too. He was fearless going down the middle..

I'm not Pats fan either, that dude could run and play with the best of them.. Just like Jason Witten could play.. Both could run solid routs and get open with their big bodies.. Great hands to catch the ball, both of them..

Good to see you still know nothing about everything.

Even when Gronk and Hernandez were on the field together, Gronk was still considered the best TE in NfL.

[Grits n' Gravy]

The little bitch brooks is back. Thought you wanted to try and beat me up in Vegas. As usual, you showed us what a pussy you really are.

He has only spent endorsement money saved all his salary.
