Gronk says he is done. 'It would be a no. There it is.'

[Rock Strongo]

Rob Gronkowski ends all speculation of possible return from retirement: 'It would be a no. There it is.'
That hope has now been buried by Gronkowski, unequivocally. Speaking with WEEI 97.3FM in Boston on Tuesday morning, less than a week after Kraft's hope-filled statement, the 30-year-old slammed the door shut on any and all speculation of a possible return.

"When I retired, I retired for a reason," he said, via CBS Boston. "It would be a no. There it is."

He then explained why he hadn't simply shut the rumors down before, instead feeding them, incidentally.
"I never say no, because I said no and everyone said 'he's kidding,'" Gronkowski admitted, before welding the slammed door shut once and for all. "It's a no. In my mind, that's how it is, a no."

This whole “Gronk is coming back” saga is kind of fucked up given how many knocks to the noggin this jabroni has.

Weird part is they seemed to knock sense into him.

Me skrong, me Gronk, me smash

Also Gronk: Hello, I am going to pursue an acting/entertainment career because this football schtick ain't it anymore for me and I have plenty to live off of if I don't piss it away on medical expenses and dumb shit first.

They never really made sense for at least this season.

The guy lost a ton of weight so he'd need a lot of work just to put it back on and be in shape to play.

I wouldn't slam the door shut next season because we've seen guys once they take a year off and their bodies feel better get the itch again but for this year it was just wishful thinking Krafts part.

Backs are... ungood to fuck with as well. If you looked at purely his medical history, I don't think anyone would guess he was as (or even half as) productive as Gronk.

hes not made for TV. hes just a big goofy kid who cant really control his thoughts. he looked...uncomfortable...to say the least, as an analyst.

his life is in football. i can see him coaching TE's someday.

Until he files his paperwork there is a slight shimmer of hope. No chance he comes back, has absolutely no reason too

I can see him playing TE sooner.

It was the lazy ass media that started that whole Gronk may come back shit. There are much more significant things to research but the media just goes after what ever click bait they can conjure up

Dam, there goes my week 9 guess.

He was NEVER contemplating coming back. He loves the attention.

Agreed- was speaking more to the speculation.

Good. Now I can finally drop him in my dynasty.

With CBD coursing through his blood, it was going to be a difficult return.
