ESPN.com's Bill Williamson is reeruned

Chiefs will regret trading Gonzalez

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afcwest/0...-Gonzalez.html

I've really liked most of what the new Kansas City regime has done this offseason.

Until now.

I hate the decision to trade tight end Tony Gonzalez to Atlanta.

I was against it when Gonzalez requested a trade in October. I was against it this offseason when the talk resurfaced and I am against it now. I am really down on it now that I've heard what the Chiefs got in return for Gonzalez: A second-round pick in 2010.

This certainly balances out Kansas City's steal of a trade for quarterback Matt Cassel and linebacker Mike Vrabel earlier this offseason. It only cost Kansas City a second-round pick for the two players. The least Kansas City should have received in return for Gonzalez was a second-rounder in this weekend's draft.

It just doesn't make sense that Kansas City has to wait until next year to get compensation for Gonzalez. The Chiefs need plenty of help now. They could use another quality rookie.

They could still use Gonzalez as well. He was brilliant last season and he had one of his better seasons with 96 catches.

Gonzalez, who owns every significant NFL receiving record for a tight end, is 33 but is still playing at a high level. He caught 195 passes in the past two seasons. How are the Chiefs going to replace all the catches?

The Chiefs will regret this day. Gonzalez has been a pillar in the community as well as one of the greatest players in team history.

I thought Kansas City owner Clark Hunt had a handle on that when he said last month that the team didn't want to trade Gonzalez. The team needed to talk Gonzalez into being part of the new regime. He could have brought so much to the Cassel era.

Sure, Kansas City probably wasn't excited that Gonzalez didn't show up for a voluntary minicamp last weekend, but he has missed voluntary camps in the past. Gonzalez said last month he was a "neutral" about a trade. Kansas City didn't have to trade him.

This was a bad move by the Chiefs and it was a move that makes it difficult to believe they will be improved in 2009 because of it.

What's the deal with the growing attitude around here that anyone that doesn't agree is a "tool,reerun,idiot" etc?

I think it's all going to depend on what the aftermath of this trade is.

Obviously I think it's a mistake to take your most reliable pass-catcher away from a newly-acquired $14,000,000 QB. But if we're able to bring Boldin in or draft Crabtree it won't seem like such a big deal. We'll be securing a reliable option elsewhere who'll figure into our future.

I would've liked to have seen Gonzalez retire a Chief, but you know the end is near so why not get something for the guy?

I have mixed feelings...

But I don't think we've seen the last of the wheeling-and-dealing.

I think he is right, just another reason the chiefs never win shit, because of moves like this.

Be patient. It's still just April 23rd.
We've got a long way to go and this is a process.

I tend to agree but I will wait until this weekend is over before making a final judgement. If they use that pick to trade up into the 2nd round this year then all is good even though I hate losing Tony.

How about actually having a #2 receiver? Like most successful passing teams?

Crazy crazy thought.....

I don't think it's realistic to expect a 2nd round pick for a tight end in his 30s, hall of famer or not, especially not when the player has been vocal about retiring inside of two years.

I think it's a miracle we got what we did.
