The NFL offseason is only just getting underway, but the rumor mill is in full swing. That was seen very clearly when reports emerged suggesting that legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski was plotting a return to the NFL. On Wednesday morning, Gronkowski took a second to clear the air on these wild unretirement rumors.

Rob Gronkowski hasn't played in the NFL since the 2021 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and is well entrenched in his media career with Fox. The future Hall of Fame tight end is only 35, though, so he's still the subject of comeback rumors.

The Rob Gronkowski unretirement rumors were short lived. Earlier this week, Cecil Lammey of DenverSports.com reported that the former tight end was considering coming out of retirement, and the Denver Broncos were said to be in the mix for Gronk's services.
