New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and cornerback Christian Gonzalez will likely be teammates for many years to come.
Gonzalez agreed to a blockbuster four-year, $135 million contract extension with the Patriots late Monday night, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. There were concerns initially that the Patriots and Gonzalez would fail to get a deal done before the start of the season, and the star cornerback might consider sitting out Wednesday’s season opener against the Seattle Seahawks.

Fortunately for the Patriots, things never got to that point, and the team can now move forward to their Super Bowl rematch against the Seahawks with their best defensive player on the field.
“Yeah Zo! Love,” Maye posted in an Instagram story on Tuesday.
