Summary

Phil Perry is back with the Next Pats Podcast. With Patriots training camp just two days away, Phil breaks down the biggest storylines to watch heading into the 2026 season. Christian Gonzalez's contract talks appear to have stalled, prompting Phil to examine what's behind the holdup and whether the star cornerback could hold out during training camp. Meanwhile, second-round pick Gabe Jacas remains unsigned. Is the rookie trending toward a redshirt season in Year 1? Phil also highlights several under-the-radar players who could make an impact this season.
