However, after Tom decided to come back, fans are expecting Gronk to return as well. While the air around his presence in the coming season is not yet clear, one thing is for sure, Gronk will never forget Brady’s help when he needed seven catches and 85 receiving yards in the final regular-season game last season to get to two separate bonuses and Brady made sure his friend get the bonus.

Rob was able to earn another $1 million in contract incentives. Recently, Rob appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, where Jimmy asked him, “have you been seen a similar situation before where guys know they need one more to get a performance bonus?” In reply, Gronk said, “Yes I have seen it before.”
