The Patriots are locked in a high-stakes contract battle with star cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who’s now facing a skyrocketing price tag after the Seahawks’ Devon Witherspoon signed a $100M+ deal—making him the highest-paid corner in the league. The team’s initial offer, once thought to be historic, is now outdated as the market shifts daily, forcing New England to pay even more to keep their top defender. Former Super Bowl champ Mark Schlereth criticized the delay, arguing the Patriots should’ve locked down Gonzalez sooner to avoid this scramble. Time is running out—and every new contract just raises the stakes.
