Rob Gronkowski said he was "kinda bored," so naturally, NFL teams are reaching out to see if his appetite is whet enough to come out of retirement.

Gronk revealed on Up & Adams Show Thursday that two teams have already reached out.

“It was mind blowing that my agent hit me up and two teams hit me up," the twice retired tight end for the Patriots and Buccaneers revealed during that show.

A reunion with Tom Brady (assuming he opts to keep playing) in Tampa Bay is likely on the table if Gronk does return, but what other contending teams might he consider getting off the couch for? Buffalo? Philly? Big D?
