Tony was going to get Franchised had he not signed. Who knows. Maybe they would of Franchised him the year after (a la Walter Jones) who got it several years in a row).
If a team wants you to stay, they can make it happen.
Or maybe Tony was just foolish in believing that the team could still make a run at it when he signed.
Either way it doesn't matter much. Forget about what Tony wants. Shipping him for future picks would be a good move.
Will Tony help us win games in the next couple of years? Not much. He's a TE and only has 3 yrs left max.
Perhaps this will force some of the Chiefs QBs to throw the ball opposite of D Bowe once in a while. Maybe a decent 2nd WR will emerge?
A deal could work for both sides.
