$1M earned. Gronk's one-year deal he signed with the Buccaneers in the offseason included $500,000 incentives for reaching 55 catches and 750 yards, respectively, as well as $500,000 for nine touchdown receptions.

That mark would give Gronkowski 55 on the year, allowing him to earn $500,000 in contract incentives.

In fact, they're a sign that you're challenging yourself and progressing.
