The New England Patriots are showing cornerback Christian Gonzalez how much he’s valued.
Team owner Robert Kraft said Saturday that the star cornerback has been offered the highest contract in Patriots history.
“We love Christian Gonzalez. We love him as a player, as a person. That’s why we’ve made an offer to him that makes him the highest-paid player ever to play that position in the NFL,” Kraft said before the team’s opening training camp practice. “Coincidentally, it’s the highest contract in Patriots franchise history.”
Kraft didn’t provide details on the offer. But Los Angeles Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie’s four-year contract currently tops NFL cornerbacks with an average yearly value of approximately $31 million.
