Patriots' Gronkowski beaming after signing restructured deal

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- For the second straight year, the Patriots have tried to show Rob Gronkowski how much he's valued.

The All-Pro tight end says he's feeling the love and is looking forward to showing them his appreciation on the field.

Last week the Patriots added $4.3 million in incentives to Gronkowski's contract over the next two seasons. The deal includes $1 million in per game bonuses and $3.3 million in incentives for catches, playing time and touchdowns.

It is the second consecutive season the team has added sweeteners to the 29-year-old's contract.
