Gonzalez: Contract Talks 'Frustrating'

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez expressed frustration about the lack of a new contract agreement as the regular season approaches. "I mean, it's frustrating," Gonzalez told reporters on Tuesday. "But I'm focused on the season. I'm focused on here now and doing what I gotta do." likesport.biz

Gonzalez sidestepped questions about whether his recent practice absence was related to contract negotiations, saying, "I'm not going to get into that." The negotiations come as the NFL market for cornerbacks has been set by a recent $33 million per year contract signed by Seahawks' Devon Witherspoon, which could serve as a template for Gonzalez's deal.
