The Patriots' Risky Bet on Christian Gonzalez The New England Patriots have offered cornerback Christian Gonzalez a contract with an average annual value reportedly surpassing $30 million per season, the richest deal ever for a player at his position.
This move is consistent with the team's history of investing heavily in its top players.
Gonzalez has shown flashes of brilliance on the field but has yet to establish himself as a long term cornerstone of the Patriots' defense.
