In the last game of the season, the Buccaneers kept Rob Gronkowski in the game longer than normal so that he could get the catches necessary to earn the bonus stipulated in his contract. Gronk was on “Live With Jimmy Kimmel” where he spoke about the team’s bonus and roasted the Patriots. He claimed that they’re a franchise who would purposely take players out of the game if they were close to such a bonus.
