For the second straight year Womens Robert Woods Jersey , 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. Last season the incentives New England gave him pushed his compensation to more than $10 million.With this latest restructured deal he has the potential to make $12.3 million this season and $13.3 million next year. It could again place him among the league's highest-paid tight ends as he prepares to open his ninth NFL season Sunday against Houston."It's definitely a relief to have that all out of the way," Gronkowski said Tuesday. "That was last week. That's in the past, which is good. I'm just gonna put my main focus on the Houston Texans."This new pact comes after Gronk made a silent statement by skipping the voluntary portion of offseason workouts.When he returned for the mandatory minicamp he wasn't bashful in saying he'd like to see his contract redone again on the heels of other NFL players getting offseason raises.Gronk insisted that there was never any acrimony between himself and the Patriots this summer over his contract."It didn't weigh on me at all," he said. "I mean, everything is always 'in the works.' Nothing is just gonna happen in a day when it's something like that. It's in the past. ... It's go-time now."Gronkowski put himself in position to renegotiate after leading the team in receptions (69), receiving yards (1,084) and receiving touchdowns (eight) last season.Though he never contemplated holding out, Gronkowski said he isn't envious of some of the heftier contracts that some of his NFL peers have gotten recently."I'm super-satisfied with my situation," he said. "If I wasn't, then I would try to pull a move like they (did). It just works out. You get rewarded for holding out. But I'm not frustrated at all. ... I'm ready to play."He expected to again be one of 41-year-old quarterback Tom Brady's top targets in the passing game. His importance to the offense will only be amplified with receiver Julian Edelman suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancers.Brady is also adjusting to some new receivers, following the trade of Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams and Danny Amendola signing a free agent deal with Miami.With Edelman out http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/johnny-hekker-jersey , Chris Hogan ¡ª entering his third season in New England ¡ª is the most-tenured receiver Brady will have at the start of the season.Special teams captain Matt Slater is listed as a receiver. But he has caught just one pass in 10 seasons with the Patriots.Still, Gronk said he doesn't feel any extra pressure to produce more than he normally does."There's always pressure around this building, no matter what the situation is," he said. "When you lose a guy, or for example when they lose me out there on the field, the goal is just to keep on maintaining what you're doing."No matter who is in there, who's not, I just gotta keep focusing on my job and keep helping the team the best way I can."NOTES: Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey made headlines last week when he told "ESPN The Magazine" that "I don't think Gronk is as great as people think he is." Asked if he had any reaction, Gronkowski said he'd defer responding for now. "We got the Houston Texans this week," he said. "That will just be another time and place to talk about (that). But, as of right now, I'm just focused on the Texans." New England visits Jacksonville on Sept. 16. LOS ANGELES (AP) ¡ª Rams running back Todd Gurley has been ruled out of Los Angeles¡® regular-season finale against San Francisco because of a knee injury.Safety Lamarcus Joyner also won¡¯t play Sunday at the Coliseum Authentic Samson Ebukam Jersey , Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed Friday.¡°Those guys are making progress, but we don¡¯t feel like it¡¯s going to be at the point where they¡¯ll be ready to go,¡± McVay said. ¡°So we want to continue to be smart with that.¡±Los Angeles (12-3) can clinch a first-round postseason bye with a win over the 49ers or a loss by the Chicago Bears, but the Rams will have to do it without the centerpiece of their offense.Gurley is the NFL¡¯s second-leading rusher with 1,251 yards, and he leads the league with 21 touchdowns. He is fourth with 1,831 total yards from scrimmage after leading the NFL last season when he was the AP¡¯s Offensive Player of the Year.Gurley will miss the final two games of the regular season after sitting out last week¡¯s win at Arizona, but McVay says he isn¡¯t concerned about the star running back¡¯s availability for the playoffs. While Gurley wasn¡¯t ready to declare himself out for another week when he spoke to the media Thursday night, the Rams decided to be careful.¡°I think he understands his body better than anybody else,¡± McVay said. ¡°I don¡¯t get the sense that he¡¯s concerned, but we want to be smart about this. If it¡¯s feeling like something where he¡¯s not going to be able to be the Todd Gurley that we¡¯re accustomed to seeing, just based on the way that that thing is feeling Womens Marcus Peters Jersey , the smart thing for him, No. 1, and for our football team is to be able to rest him and get him back as quickly as possible.¡±Gurley rushed for just 76 combined yards in his past two games earlier this month, and he appeared to be moving gingerly at times. He couldn¡¯t identify a specific play on which he was injured, saying he just felt ¡°something wasn¡¯t right¡± during the Rams¡¯ loss to Philadelphia on Dec. 16.C.J. Anderson is likely to be Gurley¡¯s primary replacement again this week against the 49ers. The longtime Denver running back joined the Rams last week and immediately thrived, rushing for 167 yards and a touchdown in a 31-9 victory over the Cardinals last Sunday.Gurley participated in pregame warmups at Arizona. He said he could have played, but wasn¡¯t sure how effective he would have been.Knee pain has stalked Gurley for months ¡ª no surprise given his heavy workload. After sitting out the entire preseason, Gurley also felt pain in his knee after the Rams¡¯ season-opening win at Oakland back in September ¡ª and that was worse, he claimed.¡°It was bad,¡± Gurley said with a laugh. ¡°I was contemplating on giving the Rams back their money and everything.¡±That win over the Raiders was Gurley¡¯s first game after agreeing to a four-year, $60 million contract extension through 2023 at the start of training camp, making him the NFL¡¯s highest-paid running back with $45 million guaranteed.The Rams won¡¯t have any concrete idea about Gurley¡¯s playoff availability until next week Authentic Austin Blythe Jersey , but McVay is cautiously optimistic he will be back to full strength.¡°I would think so, but if you said a couple weeks ago that we would have to hold him out for the last two weeks, I probably would have been surprised about that,¡± McVay said. ¡°But based on the information that we¡¯re getting, there isn¡¯t any reason for us to press the panic button or think that he won¡¯t be available.¡±Joyner has started all 15 games for Los Angeles while playing more than 95 percent of the Rams¡¯ defensive snaps, but he has an ankle injury. He is the Rams¡¯ third-leading tackler with 78, along with one interception.Backup defensive backs Blake Countess and Marqui Christian will play extensively in Joyner¡¯s absence, McVay said.
