Its good to be Gronk. Thats both a fact and the title of his book, of course. Business is booming for Rob Gronkowskis bro brand.
Everyones favorite fun-loving, football-spiking Patriots tight end is on the cover of GQ with the headline Gronk up your Life, managing to turn his name into a convivial verb. He is on the cover of EA Sports Madden NFL 17 video game, the 21st-century Wheaties box for NFL players. He popped up on the late-night talk show circuit, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday.
The Patriots will pay Gronkowski base salaries of $2.25 million, $4.25 million, $8 million, and $9 million over the next four seasons. He has another $1 million in workout bonuses and a total of $2.5 million in per game roster bonuses he can earn over that time, too. The Patriots were proactive in rewarding Gronk with the lucrative extension, worth up to $55.2 million.

(6,437 posts)He says he is very financially responsible in that he only spends $2,000 or less when he goes out for the night.
That should tell you what some of the other players do when they go out... and one of the reasons why the bankruptcy rate is so high for professional athletes.
