## Resource

The Patriots face a high-stakes Week 1 showdown with the Seahawks — but their star cornerback Christian Gonzalez might miss it due to unresolved contract talks. With New England willing to make him the highest-paid corner in NFL history, the sticking point is guaranteed money. Gonzalez remains silent on trade rumors and his future, showing up for camp but missing time with an ankle injury. Coach Mike Vrabel wants to help resolve the impasse, but uncertainty looms over whether Gonzalez will play — and if this dispute drags on, it could derail the team’s season from day one.
