The New England Patriots are willing to restructure Rob Gronkowski's contract.

The tight end assured the Patriots two weeks ago that he would play for them in 2018.

Gronkowski skipped voluntary workouts, reportedly due to financial concerns.

"The Patriots are willing to adjust Gronkowski's contract for at least a year," Ian Rapoport reported. "They never do extensions two years out, but they are at least open to taking a look at Gronkowski's deal and giving him some more money which he no doubt deserves.

"He has stayed away from the Patriots, which is believed to be related to his contract. When they do come up with a new deal or part of a new deal, Gronkowski will in fact probably show up."
