Rob Gronkowski’s known to enjoy the Miami nightlife. Now he has a place to stay.

The Patriots tight end shared a tribute to Danny Amendola on Instagram after reports emerged Tuesday that the wide receiver is expected to sign a two-year, $12 million contract with the Dolphins.

“It was a honor playing with ya the past 5 years,” Gronk wrote. “Thanks for all the hugs and memories!”

Tom Brady and Julian Edelman also posted social media send-offs to “Danny Playoff,” who earned the nickname with a series of clutch performances for New England in the postseason. Amendola caught 26 passes for two touchdowns and 348 yards as the Patriots drove to Super Bowl LII and fell to the Philadelphia Eagles.
