The NFL issued a mobile alert this afternoon that confirms the Patriots have agreed to send the retired tight-end and a seventh round Draft pick to the Bucs in exchange for a fourth round pick.

We should know more about Gronk's NFL future later this week. As noted, he still has 1 year and $10 million left on his NFL contract with the Patriots.

Gronk recently inked a deal with WWE, reportedly to wrestle for the company. He had been rumored for a big match at SummerSlam in Boston this August, but there's no word yet on how this will change things.

As seen below, WWE tweeted on Gronk's NFL return and wrote, "#247Champion @RobGronkowski is on the move!!!"

Stay tuned for updates on Gronk's future.
