Christian Gonzalez Contract Timeline + Roster Battles

Alex Barth and Brian Hines check in from a walkthrough day at Gillette with a quick but packed practice report. Will Campbell's snap count management is the right call this late in camp, and the guys break down what that looks like heading into the preseason stretch. Christian Gonzalez remains the biggest storyline — with the Devin Witherspoon deal now setting the market, the clock is ticking on getting something done, and Alex and Brian walk through the realistic timeline. The safety depth is thinning with injuries, the defensive line rotation is still sorting itself out, and the tight end competition between Eli Araratan and Tanner Arkin is quietly becoming one of the more interesting battles left to resolve. With joint practices against the Eagles on the horizon, this week is shaping up to be the most important of the summer.
