"I have disagreed with that point because I still believe that somewhere around November 1st, Rob Gronkowski is going to go back to being a Tampa Bay Buccaneer just when Brady needs him. Right.

Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady almost became Las Vegas Raiders according to UFC president Dana White
While the former Arizona Wildcat did play for two teams and unretired once before, he seems to be completely set on staying retired.
Before he retired, there was a chance that the duo could have been on the Raiders.
UFC President Dana White broke the news on Saturday at UFC 278 during UFC With the Gronks, a broadcast that was on ESPN and ESPN+.
White is a long-time friend of Brady and detailed how the quarterback and Gronk almost ended up in Las Vegas for the 2020 season but Jon Gruden botched the deal at the last second. The deal was about to be set in stone but according to White, "Gruden nixed the deal at the last second." They instead went to Tampa Bay and won the Super Bowl.
In his 23rd season, Brady will be preparing once again without Gronkowksi this season.
