Rob Gronkowski Says Patriots Wouldn’t Have Let Him Go For Contract Incentive Like Buccaneers

In the regular season finale of the 2021 season, Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski secured a $1 million contract incentive and the video of him talking to Tom Brady went viral when he told his quarterback he needed just one more catch to cash in.

Knowing this, Brady and the Tampa Bay offense designed a play for Gronkowski and he was able to satisfy the incentive’s mark. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the four-time Super Bowl champion said that his former team wouldn't have helped him get paid. His comments can be heard here at the 6:45 mark.
