Source: Chiefs' Gonzalez wants out

[warpaint*]

Trade LJ and TG. By the time we're good they will both be shells of their current selves (ie two yrs from now).

Trade him, get atleast a 3rd for him

Another great trade for both teams. Gonzo to the Patriots for one of there 3 third round picks. Patriots can afford to give one up and Brady firing to Moss, Welker, and Tony would be awesome.

Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

God damnit Tony. There is no ****ing loyalty in the NFL. What a bunch of shit. This is a problem in professional sports all over though. I still can't believe that John Smoltz can pitch for the ****ing Red Sox...

I have a hard time believing that they're going to trade for Cassel, or worse yet, draft Stafford or Sanchez, and then ship Gonzales off to another team leaving the new QB with no reliable safety valve.

If they're going to trade Tony Gonzales (which is fine with me, BTW, in and of itself) they better damn well have a backup plan to get a TE in the draft.

This. Plus, IMO, it's MUCH less likely to get a player in the 3rd or 4th round who will be as productive in his entire career as TG will over the next 3-4 years.

I have not had a chance to read the whole thread yet, but this is from the Q&A with Haley from kcchiefs.com on the 17th of this month...

“The big thing that Scott (Pioli) and I are looking for, and we’re going to say this over and over again, we’re looking for guys that want to be here, not talk about it, but want to be a Kansas City Chief. That goes for guys on the roster and free agents. We’re looking for guys who want to be here.”

And try to trade Waters.

Waters' production is much easier to replace than Gonzo's, though. I don't have a problem with them letting either one go, as long as they have an adequate backup plan.

I'm old school and wanted him to go out as a Chief. Not getting a ring would be a downer on his stellar career, (don't see that as a first ballot deal breaker)

Cottam or other TE will have huge shoes to fill. we should be planning on that already. Let's not get Roafed.....

Not as big as you'd think.
The difference between a great TE and an average TE is not nearly as wide as the difference between a great OT and an average one.

Maybe Tony should cry on Grandpa Dick's shoulder.

If not a third, then get a 4th for 2009 and a 2nd in 2010.

Im so sick of this shit. I'm a huge TG supporter and want him here, but this is getting old already. IM tired of hearing about it.
