Rob Gronkowski And Robert Kraft: Patriots Grapple With Loss And Controversy

NFL owners began their annual meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, on Monday.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft was in attendance. Over the weekend he released an apology after being charged with soliciting prostitution at a Florida massage parlor.

The meeting also comes after legendary Patriots tight-end, Rob Gronkowski, announced that he'd be hanging up his cleats after nine years with the Patriots.
