Only 29 years old. Will be in the Hall-of-Fame. Patriots reportedly surprised.
"It all started at 20 years old on stage at the NFL draft when my dream came true, and now here I am about to turn 30 in a few months with a decision I feel is the biggest of my life so far. I will be retiring from the game of football today. I am so grateful for the opportunity that Mr. Kraft and Coach Belichick gave to me when drafting my silliness in 2010. My life experiences over the last 9 years have been amazing both on and off the field. The people I have meet, the relationships I have built, the championships I have been apart of, I just want to thank the whole New England Patriots organization for every opportunity I have been giving and learning the great values of life that I can apply to mine. Thank you to all of Pats Nation around the world for the incredible support since I have been apart of this 1st class organization. Thank you for everyone accepting who I am and the dedication I have put into my work to be the best player I could be. But now its time to move forward and move forward with a big smile knowing that the New England Patriots Organization, Pats Nation, and all my fans will be truly a big part of my heart for rest of my life. It was truly an incredible honor to play for such a great established organization and able to come in to continue and contribute to keep building success. To all my current and past teammates, thank you for making each team every year special to be apart of. I will truly miss you guys. Cheers to all who have been part of this journey, cheers to the past for the incredible memories, and a HUGE cheers to the uncertain of whats next."

Damn good tightend has nothing left to prove. Heard he was real smart with his money to never touched his signing bonus or guaranteed money. In my opinion this is what it's all about get money get Super Bowl rings make the Hall of Fame and get out early while you can or at least why your brain is still intact.

His body is fricked though. Lots of hits and lots of surgeries.
He's pretty easily the best TE of all time. His dominance in his peak years is far superior to any other TE who has ever played the game.

He should pull a Jake Scott and just disappear.

Yeah he never touched his NFL money. He's lived off of endorsement money.

My man still has alot going for him
One of my all time favorite players. Highlights of him trucking dudes is a thing of beauty. Gronk running at you full steam was nothing ANYBODY ever wanted to see

Gates and Gonzales are no slouches - don't think Gronk is far superior but he's probably tGoat at TE in the pros.
