YOU WONT BELIEVE: Gronkowski says he had talks about playing for bills - What They Never Told You

The recently retired Rob Gronkowski potentially returning to football always seems to be a topic of conversation. But after several occasions where he reaffirmed he’s done in the NFL, he shared that he almost returned in 2022. 

“I’m kind of a Buffalo Bills fan now, again,” Gronkowski said on the New Heights podcast. “Now that I’m not playing no more I’m like, ‘dang.’ And I thought about it, how cool that would be to play for the Buffalo Bills, I actually thought about it when Tom [Brady] retired this year I was like, ‘Alright,’ I didn’t really feel like playing football after this year and I was like, ‘Ahh, Tom retired.’ I was like, ‘I’m gonna check out some other teams.’

“I was actually in talks with the Buffalo Bills a little bit,” he continued. “They wanted me to come up there. It just wasn’t there, though. If my mindset was there, I would probably most likely be in Buffalo right now playing with the Bills.”
