Rob Gronkowski will get that money after all.
Gronkowski, who needed to be named a first-team All-Pro to reach his contract’s incentives, received the honor Friday. He was joined on the first team by Tom Brady.
Gronkowski led all tight ends with 1,084 receiving yards and added eight touchdowns. Brady was third in the NFL with 32 touchdowns and led all quarterbacks with 4,577 passing yards.
The All-Pro nod means that Gronkowski will get an extra $2.5 million this season.
Matthew Slater, who was limited to nine games this season, was named a second team All-Pro.
