Christian Gonzalez Has Been Offered Highest Contract in Team History, Patriots Owner Kraft Says
Christian Gonzalez arrived for camp and said he expects to be a full participant as extension talks with New England remain unresolved.
- On Saturday, New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez reported to training camp and participated in the team's first practice despite lacking a new contract extension.
- Patriots owner Robert Kraft publicly revealed Saturday that the team offered Gonzalez a deal making him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history and the highest-paid player in franchise history.
- The offer aims to surpass Los Angeles Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie's four-year, $124 million contract, which includes $100 million guaranteed and averages $31 million per season.
- Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed negotiations remain ongoing between the club and Gonzalez's representatives, stating the situation is unrelated to Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon's pending deal.
- Gonzalez previously expressed a desire to be rewarded as a Patriot during mandatory minicamp in June, and with two years remaining on his rookie deal, the team expects his continued contribution.
