Patriots Owner Robert Kraft: We've Made Historic Offer To Christian Gonzalez

Apparently, the New England Patriots are ultra serious about locking down Christian Gonzalez for the long haul.

"We love Christian Gonzalez. We love him as a player and as a person. That's why we've made an offer to him that makes him the highest-paid player ever to play that position in the NFL, and, coincidentally, it's the highest contract in Patriots' franchise history," Patriots owner Robert Kraft said on Saturday when asked about Gonzalez, who's extension-eligible, at team training camp, according to ESPN.
