Christian Gonzalez skips OTAs seeking contract extension

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez is skipping organized team activities to pursue a contract extension, teammate Marcus Jones revealed.

Jones explained Gonzalez's stance at Drake Maye's Softball Classic, noting it is a 'day-by-day' situation. The Patriots hold his fifth-year option for $18.1 million in 2027 after he made the Pro Bowl in 2025.

Gonzalez, the 2023 17th overall pick and second-team All-Pro, seeks to match market rates like Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie, who earns $31 million annually. He shares an agent with Seattle's Devon Witherspoon. raccoongame.org
