Yahoo Sports NFL on Christian Gonzalez
From the article
Christian Gonzalez was present at all three mandatory minicamp practices in June, but he was a limited participant, sitting out of team drills. Vrabel also expects his star cornerback's participation level to change.
STACKED’s take
All-Pro CB expected to participate fully in training camp despite extension negotiations.
All-Pro cornerback entering fourth year of rookie contract with fifth-year option picked up in April; seeking long-term extension amid ongoing negotiations with Patriots. Expected to increase participation level from limited minicamp status (sat out team drills in June) to full participation when training camp begins Saturday. Coach Mike Vrabel stated he expects Gonzalez to participate and emphasized the team is preparing to win through training camp, with players earning roles and building the team. Witherspoon's contract extension negotiations are further along, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport indicated he would not be surprised if Gonzalez's deal materializes shortly after a potential Witherspoon resolution, suggesting Witherspoon's contract could serve as a market-setting precedent for elite young cornerbacks.
