Fantasy Impact:
According to Jay Glazer, Gronkowski has passed his physical and this trade is now official. Gronk will be reunited with Tom Brady, his quarterback of nine years from their time in New England. Now 30 years old, Gronkowski will look to shake off the rust in Tampa Bay after sitting out the 2019 season to pursue a career with the WWE. He adds to the Buccaneers arsenal of offensive weapons heading into 2020, which includes WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and for now, TE O.J. Howard. Howard was reportedly put on the trade block in mid-April, and now we know why that might have been the case, as the Bucs knew all along Gronkowski wanted to come play for them and Brady. It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out, but one would have to think Gronk is at least a borderline top-10 TE right out of the gates.
