Gonzo is certainly keeping the notion that he's considering sitting out.
I don't think he will in Week 1, in the opener, a nationally televised game. But I'm not so sure he won't sit later in the season (faux hammy issues) if he's not going to be extended.
The clock is ticking on the New England Patriots to reach an agreement with Christian Gonzalez ahead of next week’s season opener in Seattle. This offseason has already seen a number of the NFL’s top cornerbacks receive huge paydays, but Gonzalez has been left waiting on his.
