Could Rob Gronkowski be getting a new contract soon? It appears like it could happen.
According to Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald, Gronkowski's camp and the Patriots continue to work on tweaking Gronkowski's deal. This comes after his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and Bill Belichick met a few weeks ago when Gronkowski declared he would be back in 2018.
Gronkowski is on the books for a base salary of $8 million this coming season. It's possible the team could throw in some incentives based on his production like it did around this time last year, or perhaps it could just give him a bump in salary as he's coming off one of his best, and healthiest, seasons of his career.
It is worth noting Gronkowski cannot officially sign a new contract right now, as NFL rules don't allow new contracts until a full year has passed. This means Gronkowski cannot get a new contract until May 24.
The tight end is currently signed through 2019.
