The Patriots added incentives and per-game roster bonuses to tight end Rob Gronkowski‘s contract last week
Troy Brouwer Jersey , which makes it two years in a row that they have sweetened the pot for one of their best players.
Gronkowski stayed away from the team during their voluntary work this offseason, but never missed mandatory work and reported to training camp on
time. With a nod to players like Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald, Gronkowski noted
that holding out beyond voluntary work gets results on the contract front while
saying he is content with how things have played out with the Patriots.
“I’m super satisfied with my situation
Joel Edmundson Jersey ,” Gronkowski said, via NESN.com. “If I wasn’t, I would try to pull a move like they did. It works out. You get rewarded for
holding out. But I’m not frustrated at all or anything. I’m super satisfied and
just ready to go. Ready to play. That’s my main focus.”
While it wasn’t frustrating
Jake DeBrusk Jersey , Gronkowski said it is “definitely a relief?to have that all out of the way” and declared himself happy to have his focus solely on
playing the Texans this weekend. Given that his new incentives are tied to
playing time and production, a fast start to the year would benefit all
involved.
The Buffalo Bills have addressed depth needs by signing cornerback Phillip Gaines and receiver Kaelin Clay.
Gaines spent the past four seasons with Kansas City, where he had one interception and two forced fumbles in 41 games
Youth Matt Irwin Jersey , including 16 starts. He was the Chiefs' third-round pick in the 2014 draft out of Rice.
He finished last season on injured reserve with a dislocated elbow. Gaines will compete for a backup spot behind starters Tre'Davious White and veteran
free-agent addition Vontae Davis.
Clay rejoins the Bills after Buffalo acquired him in a trade that sent cornerback Kevon Seymour to Carolina in September. Clay had one catch for 28
yards in four games before being waived by the Bills. He finished the season in
Carolina after the Panthers claimed him.
