The Patriots and Rob Gronkowski are nearing a reworked
contract Youth
Derek Stepan Jersey , Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports. Howe adds it is
unknown whether the All-Pro tight end will sign an extension or simply earn a
raise.
The sides have worked toward a renegotiated deal since last month when
Gronkowski committed to playing this season.
Gronkowski is signed through the 2019 season and scheduled to make $9 million
this season and $10 million next season. The Patriots restructured the deal May
24, 2017, giving Gronkowski a chance to earn more in incentives last season.
Gronkowski made $5.5 million in incentives in
2017 Jonathan
Huberdeau Jersey , giving him a total salary of $10.2 million.
He has skipped the team¡¯s voluntary offseason workouts. The Patriots¡¯
mandatory minicamp is June 5-7.
Veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall has
indicated on social media he¡¯s joining the Seattle Seahawks.
Marshall posted a series of pictures on Instagram on Tuesday decked out in a
green Seahawks jersey, one captioned ¡±Let¡¯s go,¡± and another with Marshall
saying he¡¯s always wanted to play before Seattle¡¯s fans.
A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that Marshall¡¯s
contract is expected to be finalized in the coming days. The person spoke to the
AP on the condition of anonymity because the contract had not been officially
signed.
Marshall visited Seattle earlier in the offseason after he was released by
the New York Giants and worked out for the
team Dave
Robinson Jersey , but no deal was struck at that time. His representatives
did not return messages seeking comment. The Seahawks typically do not announce
deals until they are signed.
Marshall is coming off a disappointing 2017 season with the Giants when he
played in five games, had 18 receptions, and saw his season limited by an ankle
injury. He was released by the Giants in mid-April and was due to make $5
million this season with New York.
He is three years removed from being a second-team All-Pro in
2015 Brady
Skjei Jersey , when he caught 109 passes and 14 touchdowns with the New
York Jets. But at age 34, Seattle will be his fifth team since the 2011 season.
He¡¯s clearly joining the Seahawks in a complementary role, especially with
Seattle¡¯s insistence this offseason it¡¯s going to be more dedicated to the run
game. In
2016 Luke
Schenn Jersey Kids , Marshall appeared in 15 games and had 59 receptions
for the Jets.
Seattle has made a priority this offseason of focusing on adding bigger
receivers to its depth. The Seahawks are set with Doug Baldwin and Tyler
Lockett, but at 6-foot-4 Marshall is a big target that could prove beneficial in
the red zone. Seattle also signed 6-foot-3 Jaron Brown.
