He was a beast in the red zone for TDs, but outside of that? Ehhh... ranked among TEs in 2015:

• 16th in receptions
• 12th in yards (12th in yards per game)
• 1st in TD
• 11th in catches of 20+ yds
• 16th in yards after catch
• 9th in first downs
  

Not sure that combined with only playing 44% of the offensive snaps in his career is a guy I would want to pay as the 2nd or 3rd highest paid TE in the NFL.

Of course this is all dependent on his 2016 season. If he's healthy and increases all his non-TD number rankings, by all means throw a bag of money at the man and let him get paid. If not, it starts being a much tougher discussion of risk/reward and benefit/cost. No sense in paying Gronk money to a guy who isn't Gronk.
