Rob Gronkowski shut down the possibility of a 2019 NFL return on Tuesday morning.
The former New England Patriots tight end previously said that he had a ‘big announcement’ to make on Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m. ET. With a deadline to return to the team on Nov. 30, many people hoped for Gronkowski to announce that he was coming out of retirement.
That wasn’t the case. Gronkowski announced that he’ll be in Miami during Super Bowl LIV weekend for a music festival called ‘Gronk Beach’. The festival will take place on Saturday, Feb. 1 on Miami Beach.
This isn’t exactly the news that Patriots fans were hoping for, but it’s definitely not uncharacteristic of Gronkowski to hype up the event in this fashion. He hasn’t ruled out a return to the NFL in the future, but he’ll thoroughly enjoy his retirement for now.
