Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is expected to report to training camp on time and not hold out as a means to get a new contract, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Gronkowski, who did not participate in the team’s voluntary offseason program but reported to mandatory minicamp in June, is set to be the fourth-highest-paid tight end for 2018 at $8.75 million, behind Jimmy Graham ($13 million), Greg Olsen ($12.35 million), and Trey Burton ($11.3 million). Jordan Reed, Travis Kelce, and Zach Ertz are also making in the $8 million range.
The All-Pro said after a minicamp session last month that he is “trying to’’ get a new contract.
