The New England Patriots have reportedly had discussions with wide receiver Chris Hogan about a long-term contract extension.
Per The Athletic's Jeff Howe, Hogan and the Patriots are currently "a bit too far apart" right now, but the discussions are still ongoing.
Howe added a potential problem for Hogan's team in negotiations is that the average salary for No. 2 receivers at $8 million is more than Julian Edelman currently makes.
