Christian Gonzalez extension talks may extend into Patriots training camp

The New England Patriots are working on a contract extension for Christian Gonzalez, but reports indicate negotiations might not conclude until training camp begins. Gonzalez was not present at voluntary OTAs and participated minimally in mandatory minicamp, focusing on individual drills. He expressed a desire to remain with the team, but acknowledged that the outcome hinges on ongoing discussions between the Patriots and his representatives. Insider Greg Bedard suggests that updates on the situation are unlikely until training camp, with a possibility that Gonzalez may hold out during team activities while negotiations continue.
