Rob Gronkowski apparently is thrilled to be on the move.
(That shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s been keeping up with the Gronk roller coaster for the past two years.)
The New England Patriots on Tuesday reportedly traded the 30-year-old tight end along with a seventh-round pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a fourth-round pick. Tom Brady, who left New England this offseason to sign with Tampa Bay, reportedly influenced the deal.
Gronkowski, who last season served as an NFL analyst for FOX, expressed his excitement in a voice message to colleague Jay Glazer.
Check out this tweet:

Talk about a rough month for Patriots fans.
That said, the Gronkowski trade actually could be a positive for New England.
