00:00Do you think it gets resolved before week one?
00:03I'm not confident.
00:04I think if you say you're confident,
00:05you're just an optimistic, glass-half-full kind of person
00:08who just has blind faith in things.
00:11I think what was said this week on both sides
00:14gives me very little confidence that they're close to getting a deal done.
00:17They both seem to be dug in.
00:20They both seem to, based on the answers that both Elliot Wolfe
00:24and Christian Gonzalez gave, they both understand what they want,
00:28and they both understand what the other side is looking for,
00:31and neither is thrilled.
00:33And so Gonzalez clearly, I mean, he used the word frustrated.
00:37Again, he wouldn't commit to playing week one.
00:39He was asked and he reiterated the fact
00:42that he didn't want to make this a public thing,
00:44and then when he was asked if he felt like the team had held up its end
00:47in terms of not making it public after Robert Kraft commented on it
00:50a month ago or whenever that was,
00:52and Elliot Wolfe commented on it, albeit briefly,
00:54but did say yes when asked if the deal presented to Gonzalez most recently
01:01would make him the highest-paid corner in football,
01:03he had this long, pregnant pause and said, I don't know.
01:08So he's not happy, and it doesn't seem like a deal is imminent right now.
01:13I just think I really would love to know what his ask is.
01:17Obviously, we all would.
01:20My understanding is he wants to be number one in everything, right?
01:25Which he should want.
01:27If he thinks he's the best corner in football,
01:30he should feel as though he deserves to be paid
01:33as the number one guy across all metrics.
