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"]

IF Gonzo was traded you can forget about another Super Bowl anytime soon.

Vrabel can leave Gonzo alone on any WR in the NFL.

So, are we gonna pay the man or not?

IMO, his benchmark is the Witherspoon deal. Match that or offer a little less because he was drafted AFTER Witherspoon.

This is not complicated. I think it is just his agent juggling two players….

I think the parameters are clear and it will get done in the next week or so.

Gonzalez played great in the Supet Bowl, Bedard is an ignoramus.

People forget the actual timeline and like to remember like we didn't suffer letting elite players in the secondary go, after Asante left after the 2007 season the secondary was mostly a complete disaster by Patriots standards in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 until Talib came in 2012 the Patriots massively lacked that key player in the secondary who could get a stop when it was really needed in a big game.

I remember 2011 being especially bad teams seemed to sleepwalk into the 20s on the Patriots defense that year.

You remove Gonzalez from this secondary and the whole thing falls apart, Carlton Davis is swiss cheese as a number one corner, Marcus Jones can't play on the outside and anyone else covering a #2 WR on this roster seems problematic and that's before an injury happens we know Davis gets banged up imagine he goes down you take Gonzalez and Davis out you've gone from one of the best secondaries in the league to one of the worst overnight.
