The wait is finally over. The dynamic duo of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski has arrived at Gillette Stadium ahead of mandatory minicamp which is set to get underway for the New England Patriots on June 5.

There's been a lot of speculation about both of these superstars during the NFL offseason with their futures with the team being uncertain or at least questioned. However, that speculation can be put to rest for the time being with Jeff Howe of The Athletic reporting the arrival of the perennial Pro Bowlers.

Brady and Gronkowski reported to Gillette Stadium on Monday morning in anticipation of this week’s mandatory minicamp, according to a source. This arrival time has been their plan for weeks, as The Athletic reported last month they’d report in time for minicamp.

This is no doubt a good sign for the Patriots franchise with minicamp right around the corner. The distraction can be put to rest, and New England's coaching staff can get back to work as they usually do around this time of year without the constant questions about their two best players.

Along with Brady and Gronkowski being back in the mix in New England, the duo will also reportedly be a part of some offseason work in Montana. Brady and the bulk of his receiving corps will be getting together ahead of training camp late next month, according to Howe.

Brady, Gronk, Edelman, maybe Chris Hogan and others have planned to work out together in Montana this summer during the break between OTAs and training camp. The team’s offseason workout program concludes next week, and training camp is scheduled to begin July 25.

At this point, it seems that all is well in New England with their superstars back in the fold and ready to get prepared for the 2018 NFL season. Despite the departures of some of the team's best offensive players in Nate Solder, Danny Amendola, and Brandin Cooks, the Patriots are expected to be Super Bowl title contenders once again and the team to beat in the AFC.
