Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots mutually parted ways on Thursday, ending a dynasty that lasted 24 seasons and saw six Super Bowl celebrations come through Foxborough, Massachusetts.

"Don't expect Coach Belichick to be done from here on out. He's coming back with [a] vengeance. And I've been hearing on the streets that the Atlanta Falcons are coming in hot for Coach Belichick," Gronkowski said on "FOX NFL Sunday."
