As pundits debate over how to fix the Tampa Bay offense, Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon had a suggestion – bring back Rob Gronkowski. The former NFL quarterback told TMZ Sports on Tuesday he believed the often-reliable tight end is just what the offense needs to cure their woes.
"He's been a security blanket for [Brady] for so long," Moon said of Gronkowski. "Whenever there's a key play that needs to be made, especially down in the red zone or whatever -- and they had a tough time scoring in the red zone last week -- that's the guy he would usually go to, Rob Gronkowski."

Since then, he celebrated his retirement this summer at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. He told Fox News Digital in September he was still trying to stay active.
