Gronk inks 6year 54 million extension

[Double J]

nah, Welker will be the odd man out. they will pay him before Wes, hes 10 years younger and could easily become the #2 target

Nah I think Welker will end up getting a new deal. It'll probably be only a 3 year deal though.

I don't think the Pats will end up resigning Hernandez. It's not like them to tie up a bunch of money in one position.

UPDATE 2 -

Ok it looks like the Pats got good deal. Greg A. Bedard breaks it down.

Gronkowski gets something because he was due to only make $1.17 million the next two seasons. Now he's making that plus a guaranteed signing bonus of $8 million. And even if Gronkowski, who sat out his junior year in college with a back injury, suffers a career-ending injury, he’s walking away with $18 million. That's a win for Gronkowski, obviously.

But anytime you get something, you give something up. And, potentially, Gronkowski could have given up a lot by being locked into the Patriots through 2019. There’s a club option for $10 million in 2016. If the Patriots pick that up, that means Gronkowski won’t be able to use the leverage of potential free agency until he’s 31 years old. This isn’t a player’s “huge deal” that they get a shot at. And, potentially, Gronkowski might not get a chance at that until he’s 31. That’s giving up a lot.

So for the Patriots to potentially have the game’s greatest tight end ever locked up until 2019 -- at what in reality is an eight-year, $55.23 million deal ($6.903 million per year) -- could be a huge, huge win for the Patriots down the road.

Gronkowski is not the highest paid tight end in league history, not if the first two years are included -- which they are

For the entire eight years at max value, here's where Gronkowski ranks:

It is important to note that Gronkowski ranks fourth in guaranteed money, which is the most important category of all.
