Tony G has cleaned out his locker
 

NFL Network, expecting to be traded.


**********

Per Rotoworld
NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports that there's an "80-85 percent chance" that Tony Gonzalez will be dealt to the Falcons this offseason.

Lombardi says Gonzo has already cleared his Chiefs locker in anticipation of a deal. The Chiefs lost their second-round pick in February's Matt Cassel trade and are reportedly willing to send Gonzalez to Atlanta for the No. 55 overall pick. Gonzo recently turned 33, but obviously can still play. He caught 96 passes for 1,058 yards (11.0 YPC) and 10 touchdowns in 2008.

It's good that he's tidy.

Just a rumor. No source was ever named. The guy said a trade to Atlanta was probable at 80% to come to fruition.

Interesting...

he fold his underwear too

Nice, very nice.

See that ball gag in your avatar?

Wow, no shit?

crap.

I don't think the NFL Network is just going to throw shit against the wall to see what sticks like WPI.

Enjoy Atlanta Tony.

Damn, I have to leave for class in 15 minutes.

I'll have a lot of catching up to do come 10:00.

Yes I do, if you don't stfu it is going up your ass.

Interesting avatar, October. Very interesting.

Wow. Guess they really wanted back in the Second Round.

Who's still available at WR?

I still want Hakeem Nicks...

ROFL YES!!!

Complete the following phrase:

"The Deal Is_____"

Pioli wouldn't do something like that to me. I've had Pioli's back since the beginning. We have a deal.

That ball gag wouldn't fit up your ass. Not without some lube and a jackhammer.

:(

I bet it is more than a 2nd...

I do too.

Yeah..they're prolly giving us their 2nd, Roddy White and Matt Ryan.

GET IT DONE SCOTT.

That would be great......

I'm pissed. Unless they get 3 1sts for him, it's not worth it. He's given everything to the Chiefs and deserves to retire a Chief. He hasn't slowed down and I think he could play another 5 years or so.

And a 7th maybe.

The day you stfu, is the day Nick "Assclown" Athan gets a pulitzer.

I bet it is a 2nd and a player...not another pick.

if we get more than a 2nd, Pioli is the ****ing Mafia...

3 1sts that post literally made me spit soda everywhere.

:eek:

If we get more than a 3rd he's the ****ing mafia. We're talking a rent-a-player who might go two years, regardless of how good those two years will be.

I'm pretty sure he has more than 2 years in him.

I don't think you could get 3 firsts for Mario Williams let alone an aging TE.

I completely concur.

I was going to say 2, but I thought someone would actually take me seriously.

ROFL

I'm sure he does, physically. But 2 years is what he's said.

He's not being traded. They're just offering him to the Broncos to get another QB or two to leave.

LOL, it was a funny post I give you that.

you should have got on the bus with Carl...


we're no longer building a franchise around a TE...

I'll be sad to see him go. I started watching the chiefs weekly when he became a Chief, and i was really excited to see what Haley & Gailey could do with him.

Damn I didn't think anyone would bite.

wait if he doesn't want to be a chief, he doesn't deserve to retire a chief. We deserve players that return the loyalty that the fans have given him. He thinks he "deserves" a ring. Again....I hope that he fades to obscurity. I cannot root for him to get a ring.

Didn't the Cowboys give up two 1sts for Joey freakin' Galloway at one point? That trade still amazes me.

I'd give up three firsts for a 27 year-old Peyton Manning or Tom Brady (with a good knee).

O

G

:eek:

Chill. It's a fake.

can't understand people getting upset about a player who has repeatedly pronounced his desire to leave..

plus, we've already gotten his best years....trading him is a total win...getting a 2nd is an epic total ****ing win...

and now we can try building the team around the QB instead of the TE....crazy...i know

Why? the dude did everything in his power to bring KC a ring. KC didn't return the favor. Let the man become a champion. Even though KC drafted TG, KC didn't make TG a star. TG put KC in the spotlight. KC owes him.

Chill?

Do you live in the San Fernando Valley, circa 1980?

I'll take him. He's gonna go where though? Bottom of Round 1?

Nope. Defending that dude has LEFT THE BUILDING. I gave him a pass on the record-breaking, Donko game pissy-fit.

I gave him a break every time he went to the Pro Bowl and did the( everybody say it with me )"I've never won a playoff game, I don't know what it's like" pity-party. Enough of that shit!

DONE. OVER. SEE-YA!

I thought I would care more.

Yes. Yes I am. I thought that was rather polite myself.

Didn't Clark say right after the Owners meetings that they were not trading Gonzo? Could have sworn I watched the presser where he said that.

Either pushing up the price tag or Pioli just told him, "I thought you were gonna let me do this".

Maybe Lombardi dosen't know what he is talking about.

Falcon fans are polling. I voted for three firsts.

I'll definitely be sad to see him go. Chiefs fans can be brutal turncoats I tell ya...
This guy's played his heart and soul out for this team.
I don't mind him wanting a shot at a ring before he hangs it up.
I hope he gets one. GREAT player. I appreciate all he's done in his time here.
One of my Top 5 all-time Chiefs.

TG and Cassel for Ryan. You heard it here first.

Eh. I never really cared about what he SAID. Just what he did, and what he still can do on the field. I understand being pissed off about him constantly asking for a trade though.

As much as I want Tony to finish his career a Chief, That does make sense.

Plus, He blew me off for a autograph at Training camp. :cuss:

He's played on some good teams in KC and was absolutely prioritized in KC and deservedly so. It's not either or. A tight end can't carry you. I think that he's the greatest tight end to ever play. But how many years in a row has this guy asked for a trade? I have more respect for a guy that is a team guy. I understand what you are saying, and I'm sure that he's a good guy....just never has liked KC as much as KC has loved him. He will never play in another place like Arrowhead.

Trade his ass then!!!!!111

If the Chiefs pull this trade off I'll be stoked. I wanted the 3rd during last season and thought no way KC would get better value after the season.

I'll miss him, but if the dude wants out he wants out. Now it's up to Pioli to get maximum value for him

Guess Carl was wrong as usual.

"They'll run me out of town if I trade you". But then again, if was Carl handling the deal; probably so.

I can understand that. It's a tough one no matter who's side your on. The smart thing is to let him go, but it's not what i'd like to c

I find it humorus how some say he deserves a ring or a chance with another team Like it's a gimmie just because he changes teams he gets to the SB.

What are the chances he goes to Atlanta and their coach and QB have a sophmore slump and the Chiefs have a 2008 Miami like turnaround? :doh!:

It can be looked at, that he played his way out of KC. No way did he have to play the way he did last season. He proved he was ALL PRO, after not getting his wish to be traded.

it's not personal...he's a great player, i loved watching him

but we've gotten his best and now we need to move on...and he seems to want to move on as well

win
win

like 0

I'm good with him wanting out of Kansas City.
I just don't get all the backlash from fans that accompanies it.

Isn't it nice that a team that was 4-12 the same year we were, and had no more talent then KC, made changes in the FO and at coach a year before we did, drafted well, and now our HOF TE is worth a second rounder to them and the second rounder is now worth more to us some how.

If TG is worth more to us in a trade for a second round pick when we have no $ issues and need all the play makers we can get..........

Sorry I find that depressing.

Yep. He and Thigshit were a 5-10 yard lob Wonder Twins.

Exactly. That's why I've never been on board with this nonsense about him being a "me-first" type of player.

Yeah, because the Chiefs have defensive players equal to the Falcons.

:rolleyes:

The Falcons have several high first round picks on their roster. They didn't have a roster bereft of talent, unlike the Chiefs.

according to micheal smith on espn, KC isn't interested in trading Tony


couldn't tell if he had a source or was just offering an opinion

I've always liked him. He's always put out 100% on the field and deserves total credit for that. But it really is the whole "trade me" thing that has done me in toward him. If we keep him, I will still like him as a player. I would like to see him just be content to be a Chief and go out as a total class act, proud to be a chief his entire career, having left everything out on that field in arrowhead. He would retire here as the most decorated Chief (next to maybe Lenny Dawson) in the history of the franchise. But He can't see the value in that.
