Here’s Why The Buccaneers Traded For Rob Gronkowski

The Patriots and Buccaneers have completed a trade for retired TE Rob Gronkowski. Now, Gronk will have to pass a physical but it looks like he is going to be joining Tom Brady down in Tampa.

Trade, pending physical: Patriots are trading TE Rob Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick to the Buccaneers for a fourth-round pick, source tells ESPN.

Obviously Brady is comfortable with Gronk and the team can still get something good for OJ Howard in a trade. I’d air on the side of trading Howard as Gronk is often injured but we’ll see if they actually trade the current starter at TE.
