Meanwhile .. Gronk earns his 2.5M All-Pro incentive

[long distance]

On a more substantial news note today..

Someone tell Gronk not to forget about us at PatsFans

 

[Former Fan]

Wouldn't put it past the voters to vote him in to negatively impact the Pats' cap next season.

 

[luuked]

Happy for Gronk, sad for our salary cap.

Brady also made the AP team.

 

[nowayback]

yea Brady only got his 3rd all pro, lucky he has 5 SB's to console him .

 

[RobertWeathers]

Gronk can thank Alex Guerrero for it..

Just can't win sometimes with this fanbase.

d%#*!@t. This is exactly why he wasn't targeted in week 17. To keep him from getting his bonus. Kraft must not have let the league know he didn't want Gronk to reach his incentives. #theyhatetheircoach #nflisrigged #patriotshaveadealwiththedevilandonlywinfromcheatingandleaguebiasduetokraftpayingoffofficalsandbeinggoodellsbestfriend

They made their beds...

In other All Pro News, it’s only PFF, but they named Dion Lewis 2nd team All Pro at RB.

Money well spent.

Brady got 47/50 votes for that AP spot which essentially guarantees him the MVP as well.

Looks like Slater might also be in. He was second in votes for ST.

I don't think any incentive that is earned can be viewed negatively on the cap. It was investment well spent. I would prefer they would do these things after the real end of the season bc the real games are yet to be played and reg. season means only so much. This situation allows the worst case scenario where you lose both cap and the player..

In any case, well deserved by Gronk, congrats and don't spend it all on one party!


btw - With alternative being another deluge of “Something is rotten in the state of Foxboro“ articles about Gronk not being targeted/played vs Jetes to avoid the pay . I think this is a pretty good outcome for our sanity as well..

Gee, and after the team pretended to be protecting Gronk for the postseason Sunday just to cheat him out of all that money, too. There's a lot of screwing-one-of-your-best-players preparation and effort gone to waste. Stupid Pats.

I agree and like I said I am happy for Gronk.

But it is still 2.5m in cap space That is the roster builder inside of me. Definitely money well spend though.

Yeah just like how the league keeps making sure the Pats win the Super Bowl so Kraft has to spend millions of bucks on Supet Bowl rings until he goes bankrupt and has to sell the team. The NFLs anti Patriot conspiracy knows no bounds!

 

[AtomicDawg]

This did not age well.


Gronk received 40 of the 50 votes, with Travis Kelce getting the other 10. Not even close.

 

[long distance]

Damnnnnnn....Brady only has 3 more First Team All Pro awards and Super Bowl rings than Jimmy Garoppolo? Jimmy G is breathing down his neck right now. He better be worried.

Respect, but no need for this. Celebration of any success is best served on its own merits..

Where are you seeing the full AP team? I can’t find it.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Good for Gronk, he is by far, the best player at his position in the league!
