Gonzalez Sees Frustration in Patriots Contract Talks Ahead of Season

As the Patriots near the regular season, cornerback Christian Gonzalez still hasn’t signed a new contract and says contract talks are frustrating, though he’s focused on the season and competing. His absence from practice has fed speculation, but he declined to discuss specifics; the deal could be shaped by the recent $33 million-per-year benchmark set by Devon Witherspoon, though Gonzalez technically has two years left on his current contract. He’s back at practice and the team prepares for Week 1, with questions about whether he’ll sit out again.

Porter Jr. Trade Watch: Possible Deals and Destinations for Steelers Cornerback

Porter Jr. is entering the final year of his rookie deal and has missed time with a back injury, prompting talk that the Steelers could trade him. With the team's policy of not negotiating during the regular season, Bleacher Report outlines four potential packages and landing spots: Bears (Steelers receive 2027 2nd and 6th), Packers (Steelers receive 2027 2nd and 5th), Dolphins (Steelers receive 2027 3rd and 4th), and Giants (Steelers receive 2027 2nd and 6th). Each scenario envisions Porter stepping into a starting role on a contender and potentially securing a long-term extension after the move.

Seahawks sign Trevon Diggs on one-year pact to bolster cornerback depth

The Seattle Seahawks signed former Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs to a one-year deal in an effort to add veteran depth at cornerback. Diggs, who led the league with 11 interceptions in 2021, has battled injuries and uneven play in recent years and will compete for a roster spot as Seattle reshuffles its CB group after trying out Diggs and adjusting the 90-man roster.

Seahawks stall on Terrion Arnold signing amid legal cloud

Six days after agreeing to sign cornerback Terrion Arnold, the Seahawks have not completed the deal because Arnold would be placed on paid leave and unavailable to play while his eight felony charges are unresolved. With an October 5 court date and no trial date yet, Seattle could wait until the preseason ends to add him to the 90-man roster or sign him later if/when he’s cleared, potentially avoiding pay until he’s eligible. The big risk is Arnold could sign with another team if the process drags on.

Arnold Signing Could Put Seahawks on Exempt List Before He Plays

Seahawks have not signed Terrion Arnold yet; per NFL Network, if/when they sign him he would go on the commissioner’s exempt list, receive pay that still counts against the salary cap, and not be allowed to play while facing eight felony charges—timing of the deal is uncertain and could take long or never happen as potential new owners Neeru and Vinod Khosla assess the situation.

Giants' four-day cornerback stint ends in retirement

Cornerback Sam Webb retired four days after signing with the New York Giants, after appearing in 14 preseason snaps and being placed on the NFL reserve/retired list; Webb, 28, has played 36 NFL games across the Raiders, Panthers and Browns. With Giants dealing with cornerback injuries, the team will likely search again for help at that position and may look for running back depth after Dante Miller's injury news. The Giants will practice Monday and Tuesday at Quest Diagnostics Training Center before a joint practice in Miami with the Dolphins.

Nixon targets starting role after Pro Bowl season with Packers

Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon, who earned Pro Bowl recognition last season as a corner and returner, is in a heated competition for a starting job in 2026. He emphasizes competing for himself and staying ready, while coach Matt LaFleur notes that the decision will hinge on assignment consistency, ball pursuit, and tackling. The Packers’ unofficial depth chart lists Nixon as the starter with Benjamin St-Juste backing him up, and Nixon started the preseason opener. Nixon is undrafted (2019) and enters the final year of his contract, with about $2.66 million in salary and per-game bonuses.

Seahawks secure Devon Witherspoon with historic $132M extension

Seattle locked up Devon Witherspoon with a four-year, $132 million extension ($101M guaranteed), making him the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback by total value and a $33M per-year AAV, surpassing Trent McDuffie and Denzel Ward. The deal keeps Witherspoon through 2027 after three Pro Bowls, and solidifies him as a defensive cornerstone alongside Seattle’s recent extension for Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
