Rob Gronkowski

The Pats face a decision in 2016, at which time a $10 million option bonus comes due. If the Patriots pick up the option (factors will include whether Tom Brady is still the quarterback, and whether Bill Belichick is still the head coach, and whether Gronkowski is still playing at a high level), the final four years include salaries of $8 million in 2018 and $9 million in 2019.

Gronkowski/Patriots agree to 6-year, $54 million extension

Per Adam Schefter the Patriots have just extended Gronk and personally I’m ecstatic. It’s rare that the Pats are this proactive in extending a player but it shows how much value they see in Gronkowski, who is a rare complete tight end.

There’s no doubt Aaron Hernandez is great complimentary piece to Gronk, one who can do multiple things and is a true threat in the open field. But Gronk can do it all and is an absolute force in the red zone. I don’t know how long Tom Brady will play for, but if his time in New England ends in the next six years the Pats will have a great crutch in Gronk for their next QB, whoever that might be.

It looks like the legend of Gronk only continues to grow, and he’s well on his way to being one of the greatest Patriots and NFL players of all time.

This would be amazing news. Would anyone object to a 10-year contract? I wouldn’t, as long as there are “off-season exposure limit” clauses in there.

A league source tells PFT that the Patriots and Gronkowski have reached agreement on a contract that would replace the final two seasons of his rookie deal. A second-round pick in 2010, Gronkowski is due to earn $540,000 in 2012 and $575,000 in 2013.

Not really sure yet what to make of this other than it looks like the Pats wanted to give Gronk a raise. Of course there are sure to be more details to come, including his agent Drew Rosenhaus acknowledging there really is a new deal. 

Would’ve been better to extend him now but that’s even less the Pats style than giving him an unnecessary raise. Either way, let’s hope it keeps the Gronk happy, and the show of good will pays dividends when it comes time to give him another contract, which will surely be a monster deal to fit the monster Gronk.
