Patriots Reveal Record-Setting Christian Gonzalez Contract Offer originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Robert Kraft is ready to pay Christian Gonzalez a lot of money.
It's up to Gonzalez to accept what is going to be a record-setting contract offer from the New England Patriots.
In fact, the Pats have already made such an offer.
Kraft told reporters on Saturday that they've offered Gonzalez a deal that would make him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, and the highest-paid player in Patriots history.
That doesn't give us an exact number, but we can deduce about how much that might be.

What's the biggest contract in Patriots history?
Right now, that honor belongs to defensive tackle Milton Williams.
He signed a four-year deal for $104 million in March 2025.
That works out to $26 million per year for Williams.
Both the average and the total value are Pats records.
What about Tom Brady?
Brady took team-friendly deals his whole career.
He maxed out at $25 million in salary for a season, and the largest individual contract he signed was for $72 million -- also impacted by the growth of NFL salaries and the cap over time.
Who is the NFL's highest-paid cornerback?
The highest-paid cornerback in the NFL is Trent McDuffie, who is on a contract with the Rams that pays him $31 million per year and $124 million in total.
So for Gonzalez to break those marks, he'll shatter the Patriots' all-time amount.
A four-year deal for $32 million per year would get him to $128 million in total value and break all the aforementioned records.
