Chiefs Tony G has cleaned out his locker - Page 13

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.

Frank Boal's a dick.

And how many times has he actually "been in the know" in the past 26 years?

Yeah, you're about 6 days late. Everyone knows I'm DCS with a new handle, but thanks for playing!

In the meantime, enjoy this case of Turtle Wax and a copy of the "Go **** Yourself" home edition!

You know... I can't afford this. I have 4 jerseys. 1 Tony Gonzalez, 1 Trent Green, 1 Priest Holmes, and 1 Larry Johnson.

I'm ****ing getting one that just says Mer.

If you do, you'll be traded.

Years ago, I vowed to stop buying jerseys... they're way too much and by the time I settle on a player that would be worth the investment, they're gone.

I have a 75th Anniversary Elway jersey... and barring getting a new one as a gift, that's the last one I'll have.

That's why I have a Joe Delaney jersey.

I never catch crap for wearing my Len Dawson jersey.

I remember when Donnie was traded, I had his jersey and I took it out of the rotation (I can never bring myself to discard them.... even the Bono jersey)...then, I got to bring it back into circulation a couple years ago.

SenselessChiefsFan · 04-14-2009, 06:22 AM

I am all about going young, but I think at a point, you have to have some veterans to show the younger guys the way.

I also think that the young players need time on the field to develop. Losing Gonzo takes away a ton of third down conversions. It takes away a lot of snaps from the offense because they will be sitting on the sidelines when they could have been converting a third down.

Remember, every third down conversion is at least three more snaps.

Plus, this team has been losing for so long, that they need to get that taste out of their mouth.

I understand that you don't build around a TE. However, every situation is different, and I am not sure that a low second round pick really makes up for what Gonzo gives the Chiefs on the field, even if it IS for only two more years.

And, lets face it. If the Chiefs are competetive this year, and a playoff team next year, then Gonzo will probably want to come back for a 'chance' to win a ring.

Again, I truly understand why trading him makes sense, but I think that sometimes you have to look beyond the way things look on paper.

I won't bash the Chiefs if they trade him for a second. A second is VERY good value for a 33 old TE, even one that is going to the HOF. But, I won't bash them for not trading him either.

If this does go down, I won't necessarily celebrate it. I mean, kudos to Pioli for turning Gonzalez for more than the 3rd rounder we thought we'd get for him at the trade deadline last season. But I can't say it's a great day when a team icon who's given his all game in and game out gets dealt away.....

I agree. I've been saying this for years. I love TG but he has hurt the over all offense developement for the last few years. WR specifically.

I wish him well but he needs to be traded.
