The Christian Gonzalez contract situation continues to drag on for the New England Patriots. And now it's starting to get even uglier. Gonzalez's trainer posted — and later deleted — a message suggesting New England should simply trade the star cornerback. That's not Gonzalez requesting a trade. But it's another sign of the growing frustration surrounding these negotiations. Robert Kraft has publicly pointed toward New England offering Gonzalez a deal that would make him the highest-paid cornerback in football. But the disagreement appears to involve more than the headline number, with Gonzalez's camp looking for guarantees and a front-loaded structure. At some point, the Patriots need to get this done. Plus, we might have spent all of training camp debating an RB3 competition that nobody actually won. Hassan Haskins? Lan Larison? Jam Miller? Two separate roster projections mentioned on the show have New England carrying only Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson on the initial 53, potentially sending the other backs through waivers before looking elsewhere for another option. Maybe the answer to the Patriots' RB3 competition isn't currently on the roster. #NewEnglandPatriots #Patriots #ChristianGonzalez #RobertKraft #MikeVrabel #RhamondreStevenson #TreVeyonHenderson #PatriotsNews #NFL Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
