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.

Maybe it's just me, but I would have a difficult time following the lead of a teammate that made it pretty clear that he didn't want to be here to lead.
