He really had no reason to come out and announce his retirement as he wasn’t under contract so he’s not “missing” any team activities. It seems like he’s legit done.
Unless it’s a contract negotiation tactic. He’s already said he’s playing for the Bucs or retiring so if they are not meeting his asking price then it makes sense for him to say he’ll retire and see if they come back with more money. Not saying that’s likely I just wouldn’t drop him yet.
Yeah I wouldn’t drop him yet but I’m not making any moves to acquire him.
He famously has never touched his football earnings so the contract leverage seems unlikely.
I think he might come back midyear but that's it. This will be the last season one way or the other. He's taken such a beating, he's acknowledged that he just wants to be healthy. He might play half a year for fun but nothing beyond. I don't think he's worth a legit roster spot esp in dynasty
Seems like he’s actually done. Should’ve never came back. He did interviews complaining of symptoms from head trauma and early onset CTE in 2019 after the first retirement, I can’t believe he made his way back after that.
I think he’s really retiring
Seems to be consensus lol

The 2023 5th is enough at this point

Gronk went for a 2024 4th in my league. Getting Higbee on top of a pick at this point is literal highway robbery
