It's called reserved/retired list for a reason because it's a gray area where players return to the game every season.This is where your mistake is. A player can be given the roster designation “reserve/retired” without necessarily filing his retirement paperwork.
I neither know nor care whether Gronk filed his retirement papers. All I am saying is the fact that the Patriots got cap relief does not prove that he did.
There is no retired list where it's a done deal.
