Let the Hall of Fame countdown for Rob Gronkowski begin, we think.

Gronkowski, one of the most dominant tight ends in NFL history, came out of a brief retirement in 2020 to add an impressive new chapter to his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and once again he’s hanging up his cleats.  Gronk announced on Instagram on Tuesday that his playing days are over.

The Buccaneers are left grateful for the two outstanding seasons Gronkowski gave the team, which included the franchise’s second Super Bowl championship.

“Rob is a true professional who left it all on the field for us the past two seasons and helped establish a championship culture in our building,” said General Manager Jason Licht. “He played a crucial part in our Super Bowl LV championship season in 2020 and battled through a number of injuries last year while on the way to one of the most productive receiving yardage seasons in his 11-year career. It is always difficult to see a great player walk away from the game when he is still enjoying that kind of success, but the overwhelming emotions I feel today are gratitude and respect for one of the greatest tight ends who ever played the game. While his on-field accomplishments will surely earn him a gold jacket and a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it is his humble attitude and team-first approach to the game that truly defined his career.”

Gronk’s agent Drew Rosenhaus weighed in,  basically saying he wouldn’t be surprised if Gronk played again.

“It would not surprise me if Tom Brady calls him during the season to come back and Rob answers the call. This is just my opinion but I wouldn’t be surprised if Rob comes back during the season or next season.”

See below:

Over his two seasons with the Buccaneers, Gronkowski caught 100 passes for 1,425 yards and 13 touchdowns in 28 games. Gronk added another 17 receptions for 226 yards and three touchdowns in six playoff contests, including two scores in Super Bowl LV, helping the Buccaneers defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-9.

If this is really it for Gronk, what a career. I’m hoping we see him back on the field at some point.
