The last remaining major storyline surrounding the Patriots after a week of training camp involves cornerback Christian Gonzalez and his looming contract extension. Fortunately, unlike others around the league and suggestions that claimed it would happen, Gonzalez is not holding out and has been present at training camp. And while that's good news for the defense, the longer he doesn't sign a contract, the worse the situation gets for the Patriots' pocketbook. Christian Gonzalez gets more good news in the midst of contract negotiationsEarlier this week, the Browns rewarded 5-time Pro Bowler Denzel Ward with a two-year, $62.2 million deal that includes $52.3 million guaranteed. Yet it looks like the waiting game will continue, and the hope is that Witherspoon gets a deal done first to get things rolling in Foxboro.
