It’s pretty safe to state that the New England Patriots have had their share of success and great times lately. However, as it happens in sports, it’s hard to say at the top for years. It’s all a cycle, one day you’re up, then you’re down.
That’s what’s happening with one of the winningest organizations in the NFL. Not only the Patriots didn’t make the playoffs but also they lost two of their biggest idols ever: Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.
Brady signed a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and didn’t need to do much to convince Gronkowski to come back from retirement and join him in the NFC, rubbing some salt in Patriots fans’ wounds.

“Coming here, it’s is a complete 180, for sure, totally different.Imean, I feel like the biggest difference is just having the freedom of being yourself in this organization,” Gronkowski told SiriusXM NFL Radio.
