Gonzalez: Contract Talks 'Frustrating'

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez expressed frustration with the ongoing contract negotiations as the regular season approaches. 'I mean, it's frustrating,' Gonzalez told reporters on Tuesday, via Michael Hurley of NBC Sports Boston. 'But I mean it's -- I'm focused on the season.

Gonzalez sidestepped questions about his recent practice absence, which was speculated to be contract-related. The negotiations come as the recent $33 million per year deal signed by Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon could set the template for Gonzalez's contract.
