By now, you’ve probably heard the rumors about New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski contemplating retirement. Between a possible acting career and reported friction between him and head coach Bill Belichick, it’s hard to get a read on why the 28-year-old won’t commit to playing in the 2018 season. But former Pats tight end Jermaine Wiggins thinks he may know why the tight end has been so tight-lipped about his future — because he’s frustrated.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was suspended one game for his late hit on Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White, and as far as Stephen A. Smith is concerned, the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Gronkowski delivered an elbow to White, who was laying defenseless along the sideline, late in the Patriots’ 23-3 win over the Bills on Sunday at New Era Field. The cheap shot prompted an apology from both Gronkowski and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, but the league still decided to hand down a one-game ban, which Smith believes is far too lenient. “A one-game suspension to me is easily unacceptable,” Smith said Tuesday on ESPN’s...
