Patriots Pregame Thread We’re on to Green Bay

[SHOWTIME15]

How the hell do you know that?? For all we know Rosenhaus asked for just that first only to have the Pats laugh in his face.

Oh, I'm sure he did ask for a non-incentive based contract extension. The Pats clearly got the better of the deal, at least financially. NE, clearly concerned with his injury history, gave him a new contract based off of his ability to stay on the field. Gronk could have said no and either retired, become a free agent, or ask to be traded. I am speaking purely from Gronk's perspective.

Have we heard anything on Michel and Gronk?

Us wearing the color rush uni’s is good news.

We’ve kicked ass every time we’ve worn them.

He wanted more money, which he was certainly entitled to based on how he played last year. However, he agreed to a new contract that gave him more money based off of incentives only. His base salary remained the same. Rosenhaus, knowing his client’s injury history, should have advised Gronk not to take it and ask for one where base salary was higher. The pats may very well have balked at this, but my point is Rosenhaus didn’t help Gronk on this.

I think you’re using the term “new contract” much too loosely, that’s all. The reality is that he was still under the 8 year deal that made him the highest paid TE in the game. All the Patriots did was offer him the opportunity to earn a raise if he met certain criteria. If Gronk wanted to retire and quit football, he could’ve done so like any other NFL player. The team gave him more money even though they didn’t have to.
