The Falcons are reportedly interested in trading for Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez.
The National Football Post's Michael Lombardi says the Falcons are "seriously considering" the option, with their second-round pick as bait. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt is attached to his franchise icon, but he might be convinced to part ways as the team rebuilds.

Atlanta has the 55th pick in the second. Maybe Jarron Gilbert or Paul Kruger although I'd rather see Tony stick it out here.

a 2nd and Jerious Norwood will do the trick.

Frazod · 04-12-2009, 11:42 AM

Isn't Coffman projected as a 2nd round pick?

Hootie · 04-12-2009, 11:42 AM

and the only way you trade Gonzalez is if you think Cottam has a shot to be an outstanding TE if given playing time.

I think Cottam can be pretty damn good if he is able to stay healthy (big question mark).

I really don't think they would give up Norwood

Having TGon means you have an extension of the OL and a legitimate receiving THREAT....88 has shown zero signs of slowing down. He may only play a couple years, but I do not see his production slipping.

Not to mention, if it's your intention to give Cassel some weapons, why trade the best TE to ever play the game???

Kellen Winslow is a Chief?

What pick at #55 is going to make the Chiefs better than having Tony Gonzalez? is going to make Matt Cassel better?

The drafturbators are quick to give away all-pro caliber players if it means a more thrilling draft weekend.

I, however, would like to see our QB given the luxury of such an outstanding player to help him develop into the pro bowl caliber QB Chiefs fans and GM Scott Pioli envision.

I know Cassel succeeding would be terrible for all of the drafturbating Sanchez fans...

There you go. I'd make that trade.

nychief · 04-12-2009, 11:47 AM

I don't see Clark letting this happen. The price is right, but that being said - he is our only reliable pass catcher... I mean if we could get a Coffman or somebody - but then what is the up side? Salary?

Could send them Dorsey and TG for their first that would be the only way we could get a first out of them.

If we trade Gonzalez for ONLY #55 and use that pick on Coffman I am going to hate this world.

DaWolf · 04-12-2009, 11:48 AM

I wouldn't make that deal. What kind of a message does it send? On one hand we're signing guys that make it look like we want the veteran presences around to lead the way by example and start turning this into a culture of winning now. So trading away Gonzo for a draft pick would be counterproductive to that, and it is highly doubtful that any second round pick would have the same type of impact that Gonzo would have on the offense as a perrenial pro bowler. The only way to make the trade is if you are 100% that the guy is over the hill.

Dude, it's not all about next year. Sure, part of it is, but really it's about long term value. You're trading for a good chance at getting a player who will be able to help to franchise for the next 10 years, not two.

you'd trade Gonzalez for Coffman (when we already have Cottam)?

No ****ing way that happens.
