NFL insider makes prediction on Christian Gonzalez extension timeframe
With the Devon Witherspoon extension done, Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez is next on deck for a historic contract extension.
The NFL insider Ian Rapoport has predicted that Christian Gonzalez's extension with the New England Patriots will be finalized swiftly. This comes after the Seattle Seahawks signed Devon Witherspoon to a lucrative four-year, $132 million contract extension in a similar situation. Rapoport believes the Patriots are aware of Gonzalez's value and expect him to become the highest-paid cornerback in the league once the deal is sealed.
The cornerback has been absent from practice since last Monday, including the team's joint training camp session with the Indianapolis Colts, due to an injury sustained during a recent practice.
