Coming off an All-Pro selection in 2024 and a Pro Bowl nod in 2025, the New England Patriots want to make Christian Gonzalez the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. During the team's first public training camp practice on Saturday, Patriots owner Robert Kraft told reporters they have offered Gonzalez an extension that would make him the top-paid cornerback and highest-paid player in franchise history. The richest contract the Patriots have ever given out was the four-year, $104 million free-agent deal signed by Milton Williams in March 2025. Witherspoon, the sixth pick in 2023, has been offered an extension from the Seahawks worth more than $30 million annually. Gonzalez still has two years remaining on his rookie deal after the Patriots picked up his fifth-year option for 2027 in April.
