The Christian Gonzalez contract saga finally came to a close today after the Patriots cornerback signed a 4-year, $135M ($102M guaranteed) extension. Mike Giardi is joined by Andy Hart of 98.5 The Sports Hub to discuss the news. They dive into why the deal worked out for both sides as well as the ins and outs of the contract. After the break, Mike and Andy get into the reasons why (or why not) the Patriots are better equipped to go to Seattle and beat a Seahawks team that trucked them in the Super Bowl. What is different about the Patriots this time around? The guys get into what we can expect from the offensive line after their Super Bowl struggles, including how much Will Campbell has improved. Lastly, they explain who could be potential X-factors on both sides of the ball for Wednesday night’s season opener and reveal their predictions for the game. 00:00 Intro 02:12 Reacting to the Gonzalez news 10:20 Quick tip from Drake Maye on investing with Betterment! 10:50 PrizePicks 12:34 How is this Patriots team different now vs in February 19:58 Expectations for the Patriots’ offensive line 26:23 Ethos 27:45 Patriots-Seahawks x-factors 36:52 Predictions 41:13 A word from Drake & Anne Michael Maye on investing with Betterment!
