Patriots still negotiating Gonzalez extension
Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced an extension offer for cornerback Christian Gonzalez that would make him the highest-paid player at his position in NFL history and the largest contract in Patriots franchise history, with negotiations ongoing ahead of training camp. Gonzalez, entering his fourth season, is seeking long-term security beyond his rookie deal, and industry expectations suggest the deal could surpass Trent McDuffie’s $124 million contract and roughly $31 million per year.
