Do you think we will be trading TG before next year's draft?

Uh no.....he just got a new contract.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

THE CAP!!!

[Logical]

We might but he almost has no value left, too old and frankly he is in decline.

[Basileus777]

Cap hit would be too much.

[BigChiefFan]

Anybody remember the deal he signed? I sure would like to see the details.

[noa]

He said that he is only going to play 2 more years, right? That is what I seem to remember, anyway.

Then he can spend his retirement days humping October all day every day.

[keg in kc]

I can't find specific details other than "17 million guaranteed". Which could mean anything from a 17 million signing bonus to a 7 million signing bonus with a 10 million roster bonus in 2010...

He's probably tradeable in cap terms, but at his age, I doubt the value would be enough in picks to make it worthwhile. I could see maybe squeezing a low 2nd out of a contending team, and that's probably overly optimistic.

[Direckshun]

I'm willing to bet the Chiefs would love to take the cap hit for the 3rd or 4th rounder they think they could get in return.

[Hoover]

Nope. TG is the vet who will usher in the new Chiefs. I hope we can turn it around and get TG deep in the playoffs in 2 years

[jAZ]

Uh no.....he just got a new contract.

Sort of... back in January 2007. Since only $17M was guaranteed, he could be traded after June 1 and have the cap hit spread over 3 years.

Right?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tony Gonzalez has agreed to a five-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs that keeps him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.

The eight-time Pro Bowler, just two touchdown catches short of the league record for his position, will receive about $17 million in guaranteed money, a person close to the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose the information.

[BigChiefFan]

Found it...

1/12/2006: Signed a five-year, $35 million contract. The deal includes $17.75 million in guarantees. 2008: $1 million, 2009: $4 million, 2010: $4.5 million, 2011: $5.75 million, 2012: Free Agent

[Mr Luzcious]

If he was going to be traded, it would have been this year. Any later and he's too old, IMO.

[Ari Chi3fs]

$1Million 2008. Nice.

[BigChiefFan]

I wonder if it's a two-tiered bonus? It also only shows four years on a five year contract. Did we re-sign him with a year remaining on his previous contract or were his numbers completely off the books when he was re-signed??

It shows free agent for year 5. I would assume there is some kind of opt out option for that year.

And no, I do not think Clark would agree to trading Tony. He will absolutely retire a Chief.
