The Patriots didn\u2019t sell to accrue future assets or bring in any players to accelerate their rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>Fowler provided insight into the Patriots\u2019 unexpectedly quiet approach, and in doing so, he revealed an inquiry that Eliot Wolf and company vehemently shut down.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/patriotswire.usatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2024\/09\/2175523081-e1727880373896.jpg?w=1000&amp;h=600&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"Patriots CB coach explains why Christian Gonzalez is a 'unique' corner\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did nothing at the deadline, suggesting this isn\u2019t as big of a roster teardown as most thought. Well, it is and it isn\u2019t,\u201d Fowler wrote. \u201cNew England knows it\u2019s far too short on building blocks. But at the deadline, opposing teams had interest in only key players, such as corner\u00a0Christian Gonzalez\u00a0or defensive tackle\u00a0Davon Godchaux. The first player was a hard no, and the second is good enough to help keep the defense afloat up front. The maligned receiver room generated minimal to no interest. So New England stood pat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It probably would have taken an overwhelming offer for the Patriots even to consider trading Gonzalez. The 22-year-old looks like a star in the making, and if New England picks up his fifth-year option, he will be under contract for the next three seasons. As a very talented player at a premium position, Gonzalez is one of the Patriots\u2019 most valuable assets.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we can probably expect to see the 2023 first-rounder in a New England uniform for years to come.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New England Patriots reportedly responded with a &#8220;hard no&#8221;
