New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski took to Twitter on Monday in an effort to clarify his new contract status.
The perennial Pro Bowler had his $6-million option picked up by the Patriots, meaning he'll be with the team through 2019. Some view the contract as a team-friendly deal.
If ya think about it that Option pick up basically equals pay cut the next 4 seasons...π€π€π€π€π€π€ I don't work hard for those reasons. Haha ππΌπ

While it's hard to decipher what Gronkowski is saying, he seems to be jovial about his status with the Patriots.
Some might read the tweet as a playful plea for a restructured deal. Others might view the message as a comment on his lack of interest in money.
But with Gronk, who really knows?
