He isnt known for being locker room cancer, plus it states in the OP that players have said they'd welcome it.

The media's been bleating about this for a few weeks now. In all that time, I haven't heard Gonzalez say anything but "I want to stay in Atlanta." Not a peep about his time in Kansas City, not a word about how much he appreciated the fans, not a sound about his legacy as a Chief. Why?

Because he doesn't give a **** about Kansas City. Or its fans. Or his legacy as a Chief. He cares about his legacy as Tony Gonzalez. The end.

If he comes back, he comes back. I'll welcome him because we need him. But if Arrowhead had been swallowed by a giant sinkhole yesterday when it was full of fans, he wouldn't have given two shits.

Would love this move and from Dorsey's perspective it makes sense in every way. He already has a relationship with some of the guys in the locker room, and would obviously add so perfectly to this offense it boggles my mind. Bring him home Dorsey!

:clap:

what do you want him to say? he cant say whats really on his mind in this circumstance. Plus he has stated time and time again that he would retire as a Chief. How is that not respecting to his time here?

I have less concern with him than I'd have with Josh Gordon, but even though he won't go Dez Bryant on anyone, it's hard to predict how his teammates will react to the return of the prodigal son.

If he helps us win, and get to the next level on offense, I dont see whats to not like.

Can't say what's on his mind? You mean like when he doesn't realize he's wearing a hot mic and bitches about having to deal with the little people? Unless there's a camera rolling, of course.

He's a dick. Which is fine, because I don't want to hang out with him - I want him to catch passes and block. And if you think he's all dreamy, I get that, but that does nothing for me.

All this COME BACK SHANE! crap is laughable. Kansas City is not Tony Gonzalez's home.

I couldnt care less if hes a dick or not (Ive met him many times and hes not a dick to me anyways), if he gets this team to the next level, I could give a **** what he says on a hot mic.

Sure, but if he doesn't, what's to like?

The team rolling the dice and going for it NOW!

If we want to do more than get our asses handed to us in the coming weeks, then we need to try and get him back.

This whole Axl shit-fest was predicated on WIN NOW. So, you'd better get the piece that can help make it happen.

We actually agree!:clap:

The only thing I'd change about the OP is the "coming home" part. I don't view this move with nostalgia. He's still a top level TE who can make the plays our offense desperately needs on 3rd downs and in the red zone. And if he can be had for a 5th or less, I say that's a good football decision.

How can anybody not think this guy would be worth a 5th rounder? Have you seen the collection of clowns we drafted this past Spring? Afraid we won't get one more of those next year? WHY?! I'd pull trigger for a 4th rounder in a heartbeat. Let's not forget this regime considered Alex Smith to be worth two 2nd round picks.
