Rob Gronkowski to the Cincinnati Bengals? - Probably not happing, but the future Hall of Famer dropped something of a bombshell on Tuesday night. - Asked during a Q-and-A for Autograph NFTs who he would want to play with after Tom Brady’s retirement, Gronk pointed right at Joe Burrow, as transcribed by Masslive.com’s Chris Mason: - “I kinda like this young buck quarterback. He’s in the Super Bowl now: It’s Joe Burrow, man. I watched him in college. I just love the way he presents himself out on the football field. In the pocket he’s just so calm and he just slings it out on the field. - “I just love his swag, too. If I had to pick a quarterback it’d be the young buck Joe Burrow,” Gronkowski reiterated. “He’s killing it right now in the game.” - Gronk, 32, is set to be a free agent in March. The Bengals like what they have with C.J. Uzomah and Drew Sample, but if a future Hall of Famer comes calling, it’s hard to ignore, right? - More importantly, it just goes to show something we’ve been stressing for a while — Burrow’s play and the team’s sudden contending status will have free agents flocking to join up. - Good thing they entered the postseason with the most cap space of any playoff team. - - List - - Rams vs. Bengals: Which team has the advantage at each position in Super Bowl? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Bengals Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Bengals Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
