Optimism waning about Christian Gonzalez signing extension before season opener
Pats Pulpit • • sports
Key Points:
- There is skepticism about the likelihood of a contract negotiation resolving soon, with both sides firmly holding their positions and no clear deadline prompting urgency.
- Some believe a deal may be reached favoring the Patriots, though there is concern a competing team might present an irresistible offer, potentially involving a trade with Vegas for Max Crosby.
- Questions have been raised about the player's commitment, as missed practices and OTAs suggest a possible holdout, which could validate the Patriots' concerns about his dedication.
- Despite mixed opinions, several voices express hope or expectation that an agreement will eventually be made, though doubts remain about the timing and terms.
