Gonzalez Wants Private Contract Talks

Cornerback Christian Gonzalez wants to keep his contract negotiations private, differing from Patriots owner Robert Kraft's public comments about a lucrative offer.

Gonzalez, when asked about the contract negotiations, stated he has 'a ton of respect for Mr. Kraft and what's he's done with this franchise' but prefers to handle the matter privately with the team. He has declined to discuss what's on the table in public.

The young cornerback also explained why he's participating in training camp despite the unresolved contract situation. 'These are my guys,' Gonzalez said. 'It's hard to sit and just watch. I like to be out on the field.' He's taking a day-by-day approach while focusing on improvement for himself and the team. amunra-online.pl
