## Resource

The Patriots face a high-stakes opener against the Seahawks amid growing tension over Christian Gonzalez’s contract extension, as the star cornerback reportedly remains frustrated despite his commitment to the field. With a shaky offensive lineup featuring Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the coaching staff is already stretched thin—now grappling with uncertainty over Gonzalez’s long-term future. While the team pushes forward, focused on preparation and contingency plans, the head coach stays silent on negotiations but insists players must be ready regardless of personal drama. Gonzalez, meanwhile, respects his opponent but the looming contract question adds pressure as the season begins.
