One of the big questions for the New England Patriots after the Super Bowl is what will Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and Bill Belichick will do and Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk thinks one of those guys will retire.

Florio was appearing WEEI’s “Mut & Callahan” and broke the news that he thinks win or lose, Gronkowski will be hanging up the cleats after the Super Bowl.

“I can tell you this, last year in Minneapolis as the Super Bowl was approaching, I kept hearing from people I trust that Gronkowski was going to retire if the Patriots won the game,” Florio said via NESN. “And I think that not winning the game caused him to take a step back.”

“Remember after the game, he was asked about the rumor he may retire and he said, ‘I don’t know how you heard about that.’ There’s no that to hear about if it’s not something he was thinking about doing. Deep into April, it was just a few days before the draft that he committed to the Patriots in 2018. I think win or lose he’s done. I think he’s got family members who are hounding him to get out of that pit where he’s constantly facing more concussions, I think that’s the big concern.”

Florio's comments make sense after Gronkowski talked extensively on Wednesday about the toll a body takes from playing football.

Gronkowski is still a good receiver and picked it up against the Kansas City Chiefs but for most of the season, he looked like a shell of his old self. If Gronkowski does decide to hang up the cleats the next question will be when he gets his bust in Canton.
