Does anyone think Carl and Herm might call plays to throw as little as possible (not that he's being throw to a lot now...) to Tony and make him block, instead, for spite?

Glazer was on Fox Sports Radio and said Buffalo offered a 3rd but Tony turned down going there with the cold and being too far away from California. So I wouldnt put it all on Carl.

But he wanted to play for the Giants? WTF is the difference

Carl is a dipshit, but Tony had atleast 1 ticket out of town and should've taken it. There is really not much of a distance difference between buffalo and NY

This just sounds very odd he wouldn't take it...

As mecca pointed out, even Tony knows that no one is going to give up more than a third for a 32 year old TE, and a third was on the table.

They weren't going to take it in the "arse".

They were offered fair market value.

All that means is Tony has more value to the Chiefs than what was offered. Not hard to understand that he means more to KC than to other NFL cities.

To the fans he's great...but he doesn't want to be here and probably will retire soon and we won't get shit for him. He isn't going to help us get in the playoffs, we are a long way from that.

My understanding is veteran players can veto a trade according to the current CBA.

Bingo. Oh, and it was another chance to show Herm ****ing Edwards, who is really the boss.

I think it has more to do with this than tickets to sell. What a tool.

We are only in position to speculate on when he will retire. I think he will play at least 3 more years, which is enough time to get him to the playoffs again.

Typically 3rd round picks take 2+ years to develop and equivalent talent is available through free agency every off season so I see more value in keeping Gonzo. We are not talking about just any player we are talking about a HOF who is part of the very fabric of the organization and is a great mentor and leader to the young guys. The team needs a few veterans on the team to lead by example, thus I think the Chiefs need Gonzo more than another 3rd round pick.

I don't disagree.

I fully understand that Tony is worth more to the Chiefs,

But the point remains that the Chiefs were offered fair market value.

Yes, it seems they were offered fair market value. He is just worth more to the Chiefs than market value so I'm glad he was not traded.
