what is tony worth?
 

IF the chiefs were to trade Tony g for some reason ... what is his worth in draft picks.

a 2nd, a 4th or 5th, and a whole lot of pie

so that's about a low 1st rounder then?

a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

How many years are on his contract, and at what base rate?

I would guess somewhere between a second and third round pick, depending on the circumstances. I think Tony would be hard to trade. The Chiefs would need to get a second round pick for the guy, and the bidding team would only want to part with a third for a Tight End, knowing that they can get a pretty good tight end in the second or third round of the draft.

I wonder if Atlanta would be willing to part with a second to pair Tony up with Michael Vick? That would be the type of situation where I could see the Chiefs getting a second rounder for Tony.

I know I don;t expect much in the way of football from a Donks fan, but why do they go out and get TG when they have Alge Crumpler?

3rd rounder at best. Gonzo is too expensive for anyone to be that interested.

Not many teams think a TE is worth 5+ million per year.

He's worth more to us than another team would trade for him.

3rd

Where's the T.O. option?

Trade Tony for T.O. and a draft pick. Do you think the eagles would bite?

at the combin there was a TE that ran a 4.39 40. he looked like a tackle. huge arms and thighs. he`ll go high.

Exactly what I think, too. I'd put Priest and T-Rich in that category as well, and probably a few other guys who don't come directly to mind.

...I most likely could have just said "Yep" here instead.

Under ideal circumstances a 2nd. Very similar to the Patrick Surtain situation. Only a limited number of productive years left (likely 3), Pro Bowl players (though Tony has more, CB is a more strategic position on most teams).

3rd.

He's a great TE....but he's a TE.

He's not going anywhere........:harumph: so invalid question..:D

That's dumb. Why would they trade for Gonzalez when they have Crumpler?

isn't that pretty much the usual for us

That was Vernon Davis. Amazing speed. I wouldn't mind seeing him here.

would you trade tony g for a draft pick to use on Vernon davis?

I would consider replacing Gonzo with Davis. Gonzo may be on the downside of his career, while Davis looks very interesting. It would certainly be cheaper.

Vick can only complete passes to tight ends, why not bring in another?

don't underestimate the value of pie.

Considering TG spent the first half of the year blocking-I think he put up descent numbers. Anything less than a high 2nd and a 4th thrown in, would be a wasted gamble.

More than a first, he knows this offense. Somewhere I heard our time is limited with this group.

sure lets get a 4th for him.

Trade him to NYJ for their first round pick, then we select Mario Williams, and then Rodrique Wright in the 2nd round. Then maybe we'd have some money for FA. I'd be happy with that. It wont happen though.

Then the next season's draft we just focus on the OL and our secondary, because thats where we are old at. Draft a CB or OT depending on if Roaf plays another year, or if theres a CB that we can not pass up on.

Probably a 3rd rounder.

With his reputation I'd like to think we'd get more, but everyone knows he's been around for awhile and even though he has gas left in the tank, he's probably still seen as an aging vet on the downhill side of his carrer.

I would also insist on the pie to go along with that pick. Maybe key lime.

Agreed!

Did someone say pie?

:homer:

Mmmmm, kee-eeey liii-iime :drool:

I said a 3rd. He is still highly productive, but he'll be asking for a contract value inflated vs. the long term return on investment.

:bong:
