Dorsey get on the Phone

[Shox]

With the Falcons at 1-4, and the Saints 5-0 it begs an phone to see if Gonzo is available for a late round pick.

We need aTE and Gonzo has proven he still has a lot of gas still in the tank.

Is this even a possibility? I dont think TGs cap is all that high. I would think TG would be interested in coming home for a playoff run. Will the Falcons send a signal to their fans it is a lost season is a long shot.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

That would really be something.

[Fritz88]

He wouldn't even pick up the call. He's done.

Edit: done playing and not producing because he can ball.

COME BACK, TONY!!

[Bugeater]

We kinda already had this thread.

[DaWolf]

It's only 5 games people. The Falcons are 2 games out of a playoff spot with 11 games to go. Their next 3 are winnable. They're not trading Gonzo...

[hometeam]

No way in hell this happens. I am not sure why people keep pretending like its a possibility.

[Ace Gunner]

TONY AND WE NEED A WR TOO SAY HELLO JULIO JONES MAN SUPERBOWL THIS IS AWSUME YAY

Saw that just now.

Still don't see it.

[CaliforniaChief]

Yeah we've pretty much beat this horse.

I would imagine Tony would have to initiate it in terms of interest. But Dorsey should at least make the call and let Dimitroff know we're interested.

[BossChief]

I know Tony G says this is his last year, but if that's the case, why did he sign a 2 year contract?


[x]
3/14/2013: Signed a two-year, $14 million contract. The deal contains $7 million guaranteed -- a $3.5 million signing bonus and Gonzalez's 2013 base salary. 2013: $3.5 million, 2014: $4 million (+ $3 million roster bonus), 2015: Free Agent

[RealSNR]

Tony probably hates KC and won't give a shit anymore if he gets yanked away from Atlanta

[mikey23545]

Well, someone with source says it's a possiblity

What the hell is this supposed to mean?

[CaliforniaChief]

Yeah, who's the source?

By the way, Sheldon Richardson looks hella hella good. You made a great call in clamoring for him at #1.

Can you imagine this defense with Sheldon?

Like, my brain hurts trying to contemplate the awesome.

[Eleazar]

Realistically, is Tony going to see us as a super bowl contender? I don't think even we here on CP see us as that.

[tk13]

That's the catch with the NFL trade deadline. With White and Jones banged up trading Gonzalez is basically giving up. The Falcons certainly don't look like they're going to make it... but they're still only 2 games behind Arizona for the last WC spot. Really, within 2 games of every NFC team but NO and Seattle. They really aren't dead if their WRs could just get healthy.

For some reason, it seems like the Falcons talked him out of retiring to play this season - did I just imagine that?

That's pretty homertastic of you. I don't think their Defense is worth a shit but Denver is the best team in the league. It doesn't matter if their D gives up 48, Peyton will beat you for 51. They'll lose a game here and there, but to put them below some of those teams is ..... yeah.

I think Power Rankings have it right, we're in the 3-5 range with the Saints and Broncos at the top 2.

Yet they've destroyed the NFC throughout the year... If anything the NFC is over rated.

[tk13]

With that defense, what the **** difference does that make?

Oh they'll get killed in the playoffs. The last three years they've gotten ripped by Wilson, Kaep, Eli, and especially Rodgers. But NFL teams don't often tank. Especially when the coach and GM might be fired if this team totally falls apart.

I doubt dimitrof would go, they're a year removed from the #1 seed. Smith is a goner though

I'm hopeful right along with you guys, but my realistic side says our offense is too inconsistent at this point to expect us to make a move in the postseason. I feel like what's going to happen to us is having to play a wild card game on the road and losing 13-6 or whatever.

Of course anything can happen, and there is a dearth of great teams in the AFC apart from the Donkeys, but I still feel like we are probably a year away.

[Saccopoo]

Also, who cares about a 6 round pick if that's what it would take

Tony is a freak, sure. And he's still putting up numbers/production that puts him at the top of his position pile. And he's a great tight end. And Reid loves tight ends. And A Smith loves to throw to tight ends. However...

It's a pick. For a guy who's likely to resign with the Chiefs for retirement purposes anyway. After we just spend a high third rounder on Kelce. And Duck McGrath is kicking ass right now. And Fasano is a really good tight end.

Let's not let the sentimentality of Tony G's KC career cloud up your objective blue skies.

There's apparently thought that kelce is done fort he year. And we have an extra 6 rounder from Dallas.

McGrath is a great story, but I don't know if you watched gonzo this year, but hed monumentally improve our offense.

[whoman69]

Atlanta has to know that Tony almost didn't come back this year, and surely won't be back next year if it looks like Atl is nowhere close. Giving up a late round pick for someone who is almost sure to retire is not a bad plan.

[tk13]

Another major problem is Junior Hemingway is wearing 88 now. Tony would have to change his number if he came back. :)

[L.A. Chieffan]

If Kelce goes IR for reals, yo, then I might be down with it though.

Have you watched any of the falcons this year? He'd be the best te on our team for a late round pick.

[CaliforniaChief]

Yeah for me the nostalgia is the cherry on top of everything else. Very productive, would help in the run game, could give us some really nice 2 TE sets with Sasquatch, and give Alex Smith the stud TE he would excel with.

Especially if Kelce's out for the year.

[Eleazar]

I doubt Atlanta is ready to throw in the towel.

A team like that could right the ship at midseason and make the wild card. After you have a ticket to the postseason anything can happen. I don't see them tanking.

They're not winning that division. And they're essentially playing the bears, pack, lions, 9ers, for a wc spot

[O.city]

Tony and fasano would be some really dynamic sets

The guy is still an elite te. With our qb, an elite te would be huge

For ten games...

And Fasano looked as good with more speed prior to injury.

Look, I like Tony a ton. But that ship sailed.

Depends what you think about this team and what they can do. If you think tony allows you to have a better chance of beating the broncos, make the move.

Just keep 3 tes active and ir kelce.

[ChiefsFanatic]

McGrath is way better

Sarcasm, right? McGrath has great hands, but he isn't breaking tackles and getting yards after the catch. TG may be old, but i het he is still faster, and he is a master route runner. Even if he had never played here, if Atlanta would dump him, it would be a mistake not to at least check with them.

It has been frustrating the past couple of years watching Ryan ignore Tony for double covered wideouts. I have watched games where he was consistently open 10-15 yards downfield and Ryan would force passes to White or Jones.

[Saccopoo]

Potato Head's arm is going to fall off by week 10.

And no team wins the Super Bowl with zero defense. I'm sure it's fun to watch games like the Boys/Doncs this past Sunday, but their defense absolutely sucks, they've got no running game and we all know how this shit plays out - circa 2003 Chiefs.

How epic would it be for Gonzalez to return to the Chiefs then play in a Super Bowl in his final season?

[Saccopoo]

Besides, we've got Demetrius Harris on the practice squad.

There's no more room on this roster for former college bball players.

If Kelce goes IR, let's call up Harris. Guy had a great summer run from what I remember.

Eh, I'm sure that there would be more than a few guys willing to restructure in order to add Gonzalez.

How epic would it be that after demanding a trade to a Super Bowl contender that the Falcons end up not making the playoffs in his final season as a pro and the Chiefs win the Super Bowl?

Well, maybe not epic, but epically ironic, no?

It's a really huge long-shot to happen and Atlanta isn't likely to trade him. But there's a lot of people in that front office that think he could put this team over the top this year.

We need somebody opposite of Bowe. A TE would be one possible solution, but you know that there are good veteran receivers out there who could be had for a reasonable pick.

[jspchief]

Does anyone think Gonzalez would want to do this for a half of a season in likely his last year playing? For a team that is hardly a favorite to make any post season impact?

I just don't see it.

The chiefs look better than the falcons right now. This really is his last shot at a SB. Not that I think it would happen (TG leaving or the chiefs winning the SB)...

[CaliforniaChief]

So he'd have a better chance with a 1-4 team than a 5-0 team?

Math says you're wrong.

A great TE is paramount in our offense. It's a perfect fit. But yeah, still a pipe dream.

The Chiefs do look better than the Falcons.

But the idea that he would be willing to up and move for half a season seems unlikely. The idea that he would do it for KC over some other teams that look a lot more likely to deliver a superbowl seems unlikely and tainted with homerism.

Not saying it's impossible. I'm just not convinced that #88 holds the same level of nostalgia that fans are thinking he does.

I agree with you. There are other teams more likely to win the SB than us, however do they want/need a TE?

Maybe TG believes the chiefs are a TE away from winning the superbowl? Or maybe it just won't happen. Would love to see him finish as a Chief though...

[CaliforniaChief]

Remember...NONE of the people who pissed TG off are still in KC. From an objective, football standpoint, TG could conceivably look around the NFL and ask the question:

"Who could I go to that would give me the best chance to win a Super Bowl?"

Denver: TE is set with Julius Thomas.
New Orleans: Jimmy Graham
San Francisco: Vernon Davis
Seattle: Not a bad option, although Zack Miller is fine there, but would he want to go all the way there?
Patriots: Gronk will be back soon.

KC: Elite defense, an offense that features tight ends, a great head coach (at least superior to the one he has now.)...and then the intangibles. Familiar setting for him and family, and yes, the chance to finish it where he started.

This ain't Scott Pioli's Chiefs, folks.

[UK_Chief]

TG lining up with the Beard and Bowe/Avery would be awesome. You can't double cover all of them!

[Frazod]

I don't think this will happen, but you know what? It would make for great drama if it did, and the NFL loves great drama. Future HOF player returns home for one last shot at a championship.

That shit sells.

[UK_Chief]

Oh shit, I'm getting erect!

[seaofred]

If we are trading for a TE, I would rather go after Vernon Davis at this point. Plus Smith already is familiar with him.

Yes.

But even if it was on the same level, it's still idiotic and mindless.

[wink91wink]

Is it anymore dumb than suggesting trading for TG?

I mean the trade for TG makes some sense, because he was here before and his team is tanking. The one for Vernon makes no sense because he is a young stud TE on a 3-2 team who has won 2 straight and is one game back of a division lead.

[BossChief]

Why couldn't the Chiefs make any post season impact?

I think they absolutely can...but a lot of things need improvement for that to happen.

In sum, it makes all the sense in the world from a football perspective, but that he is something of a diva and might mess up the chemistry. And that ATL would have no chance at a Wild Card.

The first argument is BS. The second is valid.

These teams can all score a lot of points on offense and play good defense that we will need to be able to beat and thus far, I'm not sure our offense can match some of those teams point for point.

NY? Wtf are you talking about?

[MotherfuckerJones]

As much as I really don't want him back, it'd be great to have him for Denver. He's add a great dimension to the offense.

[CaliforniaChief]

This is probably the last I'll say about the whole thing. For all of you who don't want him because you're still mad about how he wanted out (from Pioli/Haley, mind you) just know that if, against all odds, it happens, you'd be cheering at the top of your lungs and totally excited to have him back the first time he spikes the ball over the goalpost after scoring another touchdown.

Why couldn't the Chiefs make any post season impact?

Yes, they're winning. And I'm thrilled with that. And if it doesn't work out with TG, I'll be fine. But it's an opportunity to upgrade the quality of our roster with a great player. Not a great player of the past, but a great player at a premium position on our roster. Chemistry? You think one guy who wants a ring walks into a locker room and interferes with clubhouse chemistry? No way.

If we're talking about trading a draft pick for him, what you call upgrading the roster, I call mortgaging the future for half a season of a guy who is more interested in himself than the team.

Realistically, even a 5th round pick would be unlikely to have the kind of impact on the team in a 2-4 year career as Gonzalez would in half a season plus the playoffs. When the iron is hot, you strike it.

And if him being interested in himself means still routinely dominating games at a position that we need to upgrade in order to play with the Broncos, then so be it. His interests align with ours. He's a mercenary. Cool.

[Halfcan]

Chiefs wil resign Tony G. eventually to go into the HOF. We might as well get some more Big games out of him.

Please trade and bring in Gordon and Gonzo-Thanks!!

We'll have to agree to disagree. The Chiefs are on the rise. That's not the time you mortgage the future by trading draft picks for end-of-the-line players or bundle picks to trade up in the draft.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Trading a 6th is hardly mortgaging the future...we already did that with the Alex Smith signing. If Tony would be agreeable, hell yes I'd pull that trigger. He is still elite, he's on a team whose offense is crumbling...it's a chance at the storybook ending. I'm not saying TG is all we need, but damn, he'd add a shit ton to this offense, which is really just pretty good. With Tony, we'd be pretty DAMN good. If the D keeps owning...I don't see a downside to taking a chance on Tony with a 6th...we have two of them anyway!

But the tone of Glazer's tweet is a different story.

Nothing you can do about it but just move on and hope that we keep getting better or that it's a smoke screen and can be resolved behind closed doors.

But if that's his legitimate take, then good luck and have fun watching us in the playoffs.

[The Bad Guy]

I have no idea if Atlanta does end up trading him, but really what message is Gonzalez going to relay? That he wants out of Atlanta?

Gonzo is all about the nice guy image. He's not going to come out and say trade me, but there's 3 weeks and the Falcons may decide they want to get a pick for him instead of watching him retire on a bad team.

The Chiefs would have some cap massaging to do if this were to happen. I trust what I was told that they are in fact interested.

Won't happen and KC fans know the "image" is just that.

Most wife-beater fans would have him back in a heartbeat though (and there are a lot of them) if it was an option...

[threebag]

While we are at it do you think we could add Bam Morris and Vanover too?

[Ace Gunner]

they need a WR but Tony would help a lot. I just don't think the situation in ATL is going that way.

[Mr. Plow]

Is TE the missing piece to our offense?

[Nightfyre]

I think the downfield threat is a big piece we are missing. Making the defense pay for stacking the box or even zoning up in the near part of the field would really open up the underneath stuff that the WCO thrives on.

Hard to do that with a struggling oline

[MotherfuckerJones]

My guess is Atlanta says give us 2 weeks and see where we're at. If they're 2-5 then they'll trade him is my guess. The falcons won't magically start winning. Not with their injuries and the way they're defense has played.

[CoMoChief]

I love Tony G. but if we're going to add an offensive piece I'd much rather it be a WR...

Why?

A TE...esp one like TG, would be more of a prime WR target for AS..much more than a WR would be. Smith goes to the TE...A LOT. We have Bowe and he doesn't ever get targeted but a few times a game. It's ****in bullshit.

If Smith is going to ignore our WR's then **** it let's get him one of the best pass catching TE's there is. For a 4th or a 5th? Why the **** not? We have 2 4th rd picks right? This team needs to start thinking homefield/playoffs. **** Denver. BRING THAT SHIT MANNING!!!

Let Tony come back to KC...get him working asap w/ AS. Get behind the motherfucker and let's win a FUCKING SUPERBOWL!!!!! Let him cry tears of joy with all of us while he rides off into the sunset.

[clyde05]

More interested in Gordon or Nicks

[ChiefAshhole20]

More interested in Gordon or Nicks

Why? Gordon thrives off the deep ball (something Alex doesn't throw) and Nicks is basically the same as Bowe and he has done nothing to want another one like him.

No but it would definitely help in the redzone.

[mcaj22]

Why? Gordon thrives off the deep ball (something Alex doesn't throw) and Nicks is basically the same as Bowe and he has done nothing to want another one like him.

just because Gordon is fast doesnt mean he thrives on the deep ball. Hes a complete WR, he can run any route. He makes his living in the intermediate routes if you watch him. He usually kills zone defenses

[patteeu]

Why? Gordon thrives off the deep ball (something Alex doesn't throw) and Nicks is basically the same as Bowe and he has done nothing to want another one like him.

Because the Chiefs need to upgrade their WRs for the next few years more than their TEs for the next couple of months.

[Rasputin]

Tony Gonzalez is going stay a Falcon.



Heh if any thing he would go to the Pats for BB & Tom Brady.

[MotherfuckerJones]

I would take Gonzalez at this point. Him with 2 defenders raping him in the end zone would open up Avery Bowe Charles or Hemingway. A guy like McGrath could even leak out after blocking and get the TD.

[Stalker]

It would be good if he came and I am sure that it will really give us a shot at this years Superbowl which is f'ing ridiculous after a 2-14 season but I don't think he is coming. It would be a fairy tale ending if he came and got the winning TD in the super bowl final haha. I think i'm getting ahead of myself with this Superbowl talk, so I'm going to shut up and avoid any jinxing

[Rasputin]

I think its all wishful thinking but its not going happen. Tony G made his bed and is going lay in it.

[Mr. Plow]

We have Bowe and he doesn't ever get targeted but a few times a game. It's ****in bullshit.

He has 31 targets in 5 games. Not that it is a shit ton, but don't act like they are never looking at him.

[Mr. Plow]

No but it would definitely help in the redzone.

So would not running a pass play out of shotgun when you have the ball on the 1 yard line....so would not running a fade when you have Charles in the backfield on the 1 yard line.

[Simply Red]

He has 31 targets in 5 games. Not that it is a shit ton, but don't act like they are never looking at him.

21 a piece. Tied still, looser!!!!

[TEX]

I think if Julio Jones is really out for the season, and Steven Jackson and White continue to have problems, in the next couple of weeks, the TG to KC trade will gain ground.

I'd do a 6th that turns to a 4th IF KC reaches the SB. We'd be crazy not to. There are no guarentees of success next season. KC is in positition to do something this season. When you have the chance, you take it and do what's within reason to improve your chances. TG can still play at a very high level so you take that chance he can help you get to where you havent been in 40+ years. Just my opinion.

[King_Chief_Fan]

I think its all wishful thinking but its not going happen. Tony G made his bed and is going lay in it.

this....Tony is about Tony....that is all

[lcarus]

Is there any traction to this? I blew all this Gonzalez talk here off, but saw an article on ESPN about whether Tony should demand a trade, and that Dorsey would possibly consider it, but that Falcon's coach said "no way". It was entirely speculative, but interesting. I'd personally love to see it happen, if the price was right.

That's where I'm at with it too. It makes too much sense not to be considered as the trade deadline approaches. Our saving grace (if you want this deal) is the moving back of the deadline. Under old rules, it wouldn't have happened.

The biggest thing that could happen to push this deal, IMO, would be TB shocking them after the bye. I think it's highly unlikely, but I thought the same thing about the Jets game. But if the Falcons win their next two, they move to 3-4 and probably hold on to him.

Right now they have to deny it wholeheartedly.

I could see it being possible if the Falcons lose their next game or two. They have a bye this week and then play TB, Arizona and Carolina, so they might end up at 4-4. They aren't gonna give up on their season at 1-4, and with Julio Jones out for season and Roddy White suffering from nagging injuries, they're gonna rely on Gonzalez to right their ship.

Only hope would be they lose 2 of those 3 and are sitting at 2-6. Even then - would a team that was thinking Superbowl abandon all playoff aspirations without having reached their 7th loss yet? I doubt it.

Tony Gonzalez trade rumors: Chiefs, Patriots, Ravens interested

BY JOSH SANCHEZ - OCT 9TH, 2013 AT 12:48 PM

Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports
With the Atlanta Falcons season off to a horrible start after entering the year with Super Bowl hopes, there is plenty of trade buzz surfacing that involves veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez. The future Hall of Famer wanted to finish off his career with a contender, so shipping him off to one of the top teams in the final year of his career would be a classy move from the Falcons.

Among the teams interested in Gonzalez are the Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens, according to CBS Insider Jason La Canfora.

It would be great to see Gonzalez have his swan song with the Chiefs, where he spent most of his career and established himself as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, so we will have our fingers crossed for that one if a move is made.

The Ravens would also be interesting, considering their need at tight end, but the team hasn’t looked too spectacular and they could be the least appealing potential suitor.

As for the Patriots, they love their tight ends and it would give Tom Brady another great weapon.

If Gonzalez is moved, let’s just hope that he makes the trip back to Kansas City where Chiefs fans would welcome him with open arms.

[Simply Red]

I don't know how he left here, how the mood/environment were. I think you'd have to know that before you could determine if it's possible.

[Sfeihc]

I don't know how he left here, how the mood/environment were. I think you'd have to know that before you could determine if it's possible.

I've heard from enough different sources(former players and journalists who covered the team when he was here) that it's VERY unlikely to happen. Without impugning Tony G.'s character they made comments regarding how he was more interested in personal stats than winning towards the end of his time in KC. Can't say as I blame him when he had the likes of Croyle, Huard and every other broke dick throwing him the ball. (note I left off Thiggy the Great).:)
It does make an awful lot of sense given current circumstances. Let's see how things evolve over the next couple of weeks. With Kelce being out for the season and Julio spending the rest of the season down by the school yard. Who knows?

Perhaps Tony G is the albatross around the neck of a franchise which prevents said franchise from reaching a superbowl.

[MotherfuckerJones]

I thought KC fans hated Gonzalez for being an arrogant prick or something like that.

I do but now I just want to beat Denver and he helps our chances

[BossChief]

I love Tony G. but if we're going to add an offensive piece I'd much rather it be a WR...

Why?

Alex Smith wants to throw to his tight ends and backs on 90% of his attempts.

Matching him with Tony Gonzalez would be a match made in heaven.

[BossChief]

Exactly.

At this point (being 5-0) getting into the playoffs isn't the question.

It's what we are gonna do when we get there that matters now.

A player like Tony G would DEFINETLY give us a MUCH better chance against teams like Denver, Indy, NE, NY, Cincy and Miami once we are trying to advance in the playoffs.

PLEASE FOOTBALL GODS, LET THIS HAPPEN.

Why do you keep including ny?

[Down4Chiefs]

We have a tight end who's the brightspot far as options for alex smith to throw too. This would be for nothing but nostalgia. I'm pretty sure we need a better first option at wide reciver.

[BossChief]

Why do you keep including ny?

Because they are 3-2 and they have a defense that is gonna be hard to put up points against if we play them.

Alex favors the TE.

They haven't beaten a good team yet, so let's not get too far ahead Of ourselves.

Plus they're likely another wc team. We won't see them till the AFC championship, likely in KC.

In KC, the only team that would really worry me is the broncos.

[BossChief]

And you told me to not get ahead of myself...

[O.city]

What team, other than the broncos, would you feel could come to arrowhead in January and beat the chiefs?

[mrbiggz]

I would bet money on it that Dorsey and Reid have talked about it and at some point will make the call to see if Atlanta and Gonzalez are interested. Now whether they can actually work out a deal is yet to be seen.

[Mr. Plow]

Man, some of you have some confidence in the Chiefs.

[Carlota69]

Tony did say he would retire as a Chief. Maybe he'll also play is last game as a Chief as well. That would be ****ing epic, especially if it was a very very meaningful game.

[MotherfuckerJones]

What team, other than the broncos, would you feel could come to arrowhead in January and beat the chiefs?

The teams that have Super Bowl winning QBs

[MotherfuckerJones]

@Espngreeny: Rough news for #Falcons. Would love to see them trade Tony Gonzalez to a contender. Maybe back to #Chiefs.

[Sorter]

Really depends on how the teams progress. I wouldn't think it out of the realm for Indy, Baltimore, NE, Cincy to win here.

By then, we are gonna be seeing completely different versions of the teams we are seeing right now. I think some of the AFC defenses will have the potential to really slow down our offense if it doesn't improve in areas that have been talked about a lot over the last few months.

[O.city]

I think Indy could.

The others could, but I wouldn't favor it happening at his point.

If Cincy had a good QB maybe. Not sold on Dalton

Yes.

A lot of this hinges on our offense improving over the next few months.

[JENKINSWINS]

The way Gonzo gets doubled, he would be a big help in getting the ball to the guys on the outside and in the run game.

[DaneMcCloud]

If things continue to go the Chiefs way, I'd almost rather see them lose to Indy so that the coaching staff figures out a way to beat them in the playoffs. Beating them twice would be a massive undertaking and would require "perfect" games, something I just don't see as possible.

From my perspective, I can't see Marvin Lewis and his staff outcoaching Reid, Ault, Sutton and Childress in January. Same for Baltimore.

I think the hatred for all things New England seething through 80,000 strong at Arrowhead would propel the Chiefs to a 1 point win at Arrowhead.
