The Buffalo Bills are looking into adding another offensive weapon for their star quarterback Josh Allen in hopes he’ll finally take them over the playoff hump. According to multiple reports, the Bills are interested in adding Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski this offseason if the 32-year-old player decides to keep playing football.

Gronkowski retired from the NFL after the 2018 season but returned one year later to reunite with quarterback Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. However, with Brady choosing to ride off into the sunset, many believe Gronk’s time as a member of the Buccaneers is done as well.

Gronkowski’s plans for the future are unclear at the moment, but playing for the Bills could be tempting for him. He would not only get another chance to compete for a Super Bowl, but the Amherst, New York-native would also get to play in his home state.

Rob Gronkowski is coming off a productive season with the Bucs that saw him get 55 catches for 802 yards and six touchdowns. He managed to get to these numbers even after missing five games due to injured ribs.

While Gronk’s injury history might be concerning, the Bills wouldn’t require him to do too much. They already have a formidable option at the position in Dawson Knox, who had nine touchdowns in 2021. However, it remains to be seen if Gronkowski is even interested in playing one more year or playing for the Bills, for that matter.
