{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tampa Bay acquired the rights to Gronkowski in an April 2020 trade with the New England Patriots – about a month after signing Tom Brady. He sat out the entire 2019 season to recover from some injuries and the Buccaneers only had to give up a 2020 fourth-round pick for him.
Gronkowski joined a team that was already loaded offensively, especially at tight end with Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard. As he started to get his feet under him in 2020, he recorded 45 catches for 623 yards and seven touchdowns. He played in all 16 games for the first time since the 2011 season.
