What’s Holding Up Christian Gonzalez Extension? | Greg Bedard Patriots Podcast

The Patriots concluded Day 17 of their 2026 training camp on Monday, which saw an impressive outing from Drake Maye and the Patriots offense. Nick and Greg are back together to break down the latest from camp and the Christian Gonzalez saga.

They discuss the likely sticking points over Gonzalez's contract extension after Devon Witherspoon got his deal. They also discussed Drake Maye's hot performance in Monday's practice and his development with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. Greg also gives thoughts on the run game, what to make of the linebacker room, Will Campbell’s improvement, and Caleb Lomu’s camp so far. Finally, the boys gave an early read on the Eagles joint practices and where the Patriots will be tested.
