2023
In his second year as a pro, Gonzalez recorded 59 total tackles, 11 pass defenses, two of which were interceptions, and a fumble recovery over 16 regular-season contests in 2024. The 2023 first-rounder is a rising star in a New England defense that now includes free-agent addition Carlton Davis, giving the team a nice one-two combo at outside cornerback.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
New deal could top Witherspoon's
Patriots Executive VP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf indicated Tuesday that the team's current contract extension offer would make Gonzalez the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
If that's accurate, then the offer would have an AAV north of $33 million, topping the deal that Devon Witherspoon got from the Seahawks earlier this month. Witherspoon's extension was also for four years and included $101 million in guarantees, and it could be one or both of those numbers that are the sticking points in negotiations with Gonzalez. "There's certain things that go into a contract, but my team knows what we want, so it kind of depends how you put it," the Pro Bowl corner said Tuesday. Gonzalez returned to practice Monday after sitting out the last two weeks with an ankle injury.
