Curran: "In my estimation... [Gonzo would like to] be treated as if he's at the table in 2027." [previous title: "say goodbye to gonzo"]

I think that this is all good news. Gonzo is basically saying that he is willing to play this year under the current contract and negotiate again next year.

If a deal isn't reached, I expect the team to add an addition roster 2026 bonus to his contract.

I am not starting a new thread over an unsubstantiated rumor. Posting this hear and waiting for better sources. I see nothing else out there so it could be fake.

Yes, could be.

And next year after Mitchell extends to a mega contract from Philly, guess what happens to Gonzos price tag, you think Kraft is going to pay and and Maye in the same offseason? No way that happens, Gonzo will be traded.

Yes, it is better if he signs now.

However, the possibility of his not playing in 2026 is important.

I don't think he'll hold out in 2026, but I expect that negotiating a deal in 2027 will be a lot more expensive and there will be a lot less goodwill on Gonzo's side.
