Gonzalez’s Payday Exposes Commanders’ Draft Blunder | Washington Commanders News
Description
Christian Gonzalez just shattered NFL records with a $135 million, 4-year deal—$102M guaranteed—making him the highest-paid cornerback ever, beating out Devon Witherspoon by a million. The move exposes Washington’s colossal draft mistake: they traded their 16th pick for Emmanuel Forbes Jr., who’s now on the Rams with an uncertain future, while Gonzalez dominates. With Trey Amos sidelined and thin depth at CB, the Commanders’ secondary remains shaky. This error is widely seen as Ron Rivera’s biggest blunder—and likely why he hasn’t landed another NFL coaching gig.
