Sorry if re-post, didn't see it anywhere.

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.

To argue otherwise is flat-out ridiculous.

Yeah, and I stand a better chance of breaking the sound barrier in a Mustang than I do in a Civic.

It's going to have to be a WOW offer for them to trade Tony Gonzalez...

#55 overall isn't a WOW offer. Sorry drafturbators, it's clear Pioli is trying to build a contender with veteran presence...the Herm Edwards 25 and under only approach isn't the Pioli way. Gonzalez has a reasonable contract and is showing no signs of slowing down...he's not going to be traded IMO.

Gonzalez for DE Jamaal Anderson 6'6" 282lbs.

Exactly!!

I'd probably do that deal, you move his contract, you can get by with an ok TE, not to mention we have a coach and a GM from teams that never really used the TE as a top option as a receiver.

There's going to be some very good players on the board in this years 2nd round.

Of course I already see the over attachment to Gonzalez in the thread, you know inspite of his constant whining.

But...but who will Pickpen throw to???

You're right though; under Haley and sooner rather than later, the TE position will be less about receiving, IF we choose to go on his past offenses as an example.

I don't want to see him go...ugh

Mecca · 04-12-2009, 03:04 PM

Personally I think people in this market get attached to players like Gonzalez because we haven't won anything so it's all that's left.

TE is already a de-valued position. There is no TE in the league that is worth a 1st rounder.

There have been 13 tight ends drafted in the first round since 2000. Seems to me that half the league thinks a tight end is worth a first-round pick.

Granted, in Tony's case age is a factor, but then again if he plays four more years and makes 350 catches, that's worth a lot.

i say give Gonzo to them for their 1st and 4th

Mecca · 04-12-2009, 03:16 PM

NO ONE is giving up a 1st round pick for a player that's 33 years old.

Yeah, I'd agree with that, other than maybe a really good QB on a team that's a QB short of a strong run.

Mecca · 04-12-2009, 03:21 PM

Jason Taylor went for a 2nd and he does something that is much more valuable than Gonzalez a team offering you a 2nd for Gonzalez is actually really high.

**BigMeatballDave** · 04-12-2009, 03:22 PM

A 1st for TG is a pipe dream. If they could get a 2nd for him, they should be all over it.

How much of that was BECAUSE of Tony Gonzales, though? I think the position as a whole holds alot less value, we've just been spoiled because we've been watching the greatest ever.
