Gonzalez: Contract talks 'frustrating'

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez expressed frustration about ongoing contract talks as the regular season approaches. "I mean, it's frustrating," Gonzalez told reporters on Tuesday, adding that he remains focused on the season despite the negotiations.

Gonzalez sidestepped questions about his recent absence from practice, which many speculate was related to contract talks. "I'm not going to get into that," he said. The recent $33 million per year contract signed by Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon is likely serving as the template for Gonzalez's potential new deal. milkshake.it.com
