Gonzo signaling…

Show me the money
 
purely speculating here....Gonzo doesn't want to set the market for the CB position. he wants to be paid at the rate as the highest defensive players. Watt. Garrett. Parson. Hutchinson. $40m

Recently the trade market for a CB of his caliber has been 2 1st round picks but the teams in need already made their moves and I don't wanna think in a scenario of Gonzalez not playing here, but yeah that extension will cost, and if there was a trade offer on the table depending on the team you would think theere would be some temptation in trading him, 2 1st round picks from a sorry ass team you could replace him and more.
 
The longer they wait, the more it’ll cost.
That’s why I’m hoping it gets done before Seattle signs Witherspoon. But I can see both players wanting to wait and see what the other gets so they can top it.

gonzo and Mcduffie both share the same agent.. gonzo is a better player but Mcduffie is a draft class ahead of him... Gonzo gets the same or in the ball park of Mcduffie.. is my inclination... only a matter of time..

Mcduffie is the Barometer..

Very true, but players and agents understand that too. If you're willing to risk injury/performance by waiting it out, you can make an extra $40-50 million in guaranteed money.

A deal not getting done doesn't necessarily mean the team is dragging its feet. (Not about Gonzalez specifically, but in general for every team)

the trade for Sauce for 2 picks in rd 1 also came with some financial certainty.
Sauce cap hits are as follows:
2026-$9.5m
2027-$21m
2028-$26m
2029-$36m
2030-$36m

trading for Gonzo before having him under contract is risky.

I don't really have any reason to believe he has that kind of ego. He is a very charitable personality, I doubt he wants that kind of attention. But I could be wrong.

Agree completely. There is absolutely nothing to support the contention that he wants to be paid as the highest defensive players. And if he did they should just let him play out his deal and then franchise him.

$8-$9m per is a lot of money to leave on the table.
not saying that is the case, but it could be

Agreed!... as Gonzo is still a very young guy at just 23.. he sees his peers as well as all the same media coverage & talk as we do as fans.. with all the different kinds of media outlets these days it's natural for a player to use it get thier points across whenever negotiations are on going..
 
It takes two sides to get a deal done. He can rub his fingers together all he wants.

That logic doesn't really hold up. So you are saying he wants to be paid as the highest defensive player because... it's a lot of money? Who's to say that he doesn't want to be paid as the highest player, period, then? That's even MORE money? He wants QB money!!! It's the MOST money!!!! I mean, it's a lot to leave on the table, man!
 
The longer they wait, the more it’ll cost.
That doesn't matter anymore. Not like it used to

The cap keeps going up up up.

The CG contract will be the reason used for not trading for AJ Brown... And I'm good with that
