While Rob Gronkowski announced his retirement from football years ago on social media, he made it official as a member of the New England Patriots on Wednesday.
Owner Robert Kraft wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, and he humorously asked Gronkowski about making the one-day ceremonial contract a day longer. That would allow Gronkowski to suit up one more time and play for the Patriots on Thursday when the 8–2 team faces the New York Jets (2–7).
