Report: WWE hoping to sign Rob Gronkowski

The WWE is attempting to sign Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski to a contract, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports.

Meltzer claims WWE “is willing to offer a similar style deal to Gronkowski that they offered to Ronda Rousey.”

Rousey made her debut at the Royal Rumble in January and announced that she signed a full-time contract with the wrestling promotion. Her contract does appear to be flexible, as she has not appeared on WWE television since the Rumble. She is, however, scheduled to appear during the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event on Feb. 25.

The news comes with Gronkowski's NFL future up in the air. He would not commit to returning to the league in 2018 after New England's Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

This is not the first time the former Super Bowl champion's name has appeared in rumors related to the franchise. Mojo Rawley, a current WWE superstar, recently told TMZ, "It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when," the Patriots superstar would consider a career in professional wrestling.

It appears Gronk may have more than one important decision to make this summer.
