New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez described contract negotiations as "frustrating" while acknowledging he remains focused on the upcoming season. "I'm focused on the season, I'm focused on here now and doing what I gotta do," Gonzalez told reporters. mchezo.co.za

Gonzalez declined to address speculation that his recent practice absence was related to contract talks, saying "I'm not going to get into that." The negotiations come as cornerback Devon Witherspoon recently signed a $33 million per year deal, which could serve as a template for Gonzalez's contract.
