The start of highly paid TE's.

that might be more than we've spent on te's in the last decade? Good move Pats! hope this is the one that really bites down on that ass! They might have to throw in an emporers crown with brady's next contract.

Lord almighty that's a lot for a tight end.

[Darth Biscuit]

He's good, but THAT good?

[DaCityKats]

132 catches and 27 TDs in 2 years. yeah he is that good.

That's a lot of dough, but Gronk has put up big numbers for a couple years now. He deserves it. Good move by the Pats locking him up long term.

Now, I wonder what they do with Wes. He wants 10 milli a year, but I don't think he's worth that. We'll see what happens.

Aaron Hernandez.....how ya doin?

Yes, he is now the highest paid TE ever in NFL history, overshadowing Vernon Davis' contract extension in 2011 which was for 42 million 6-years.

Wow, Jimmy Graham only gets $540k/yr. Maybe Graham should get an extension with the non-existent money the Saint will be devoting to Drew Brees.

I would hold-out if I were Graham.

Compare his output with DWill's and ask that question again.
