Tony has always been gracious. He is a class act, at least in the last few years that I've met him and interviewed him. During my last interview, over a year ago, he said he would retire as a Chief. He didnt even hestitate until he comsidered gettinga SB ring. That may change his mind. But he was certain he was going to retire a Chief, he didnt even flinch at the question.

He will always be a Chief....until he bitches and moans so much about wanting to "play for a winner" that he wasn't a Chief anymore. KC gave him a lot of money, and was loyal to him. He turned his back and asked to NOT be a Chief anymore. So there you have it. He started a Chief and ended a Falcon....and turned his back on the Chiefs in the process.

**** Tony Gonzalez.

I'd LIKE him to, but I don't see any reason why he would. The whole "sign for a day" thing is more for players who were successful with their first team but moved on after they started slowing down. Tony was the opposite of that. Chances are he'll remember his time in Atlanta more fondly than a lot of his time in KC.

I mean, it's up to him, of course. But, yeah, I'd LOVE for him to retire as a Chief. I think that would be awesome.

In the era of free agency players don't really retire as such and such so what would be the point?

I didn't think it worked that way in the NFL Hall of Fame. You're just an inductee, you don't get inducted as a "team name here". Of course, if you played you whole, or the majority of your career at one place, they'll say "such and such a team" has so many inductees. But officially, you're just inducted as a player.

Great moments in Kansas City Chiefs 1-day contract history:

2005
3 years after leaving the NFL and 4 years after leaving the Chiefs, WR Derrick Alexander celebrates his 4 years in KC by signing a 1-day contract to retire as a Chief.

2010
Despite never signing with another team after leaving KC after the 2008 season, WR Eddie Kennison for some reason signs a 1-day contract to retire as a Chief.

Memories.
