Chiefs Tony Gonzalez Trade Talks? - Page 17

Micjones · 10-10-2008, 02:21 PM

I just stepped out to lunch and heard a 610 report that the trade talks for Tony Gonzalez are pretty serious. It was said that he could be moved to New York as early as today?

Does anyone have more information about this?
I was only in the car a short time.

Let's say that we trade Gonzo. Let's say that he goes to a team that doesn't emphasize the TE position as a "go to" weapon on offense. Let's say that he sits on the bench a lot studying the playbook. Then, let's say that they go to the Super Bowl and win the dang thing. Gonzo will have a ring, sure. But, will it be satisfying? Will it be worth it? Since he didn't actually contribute to that objective, I mean?

If he plays in through the playoffs and in the SB then he deserves it and in no way will it be cheapened. It's not like he Huarded a ring.

Anybody who calls Mr. FAX a fool is my personal enemy!

Then let's say, when the Acadamy Awards rolled around, the movie won the Oscar for Best Picture. You're saying that you would feel just as satisfied and accomplished as the director or producer or lead actor or the other people who actually worked on the movie?

See? Wisdom just oozes out of this man.

I would never call Mr. Fax a fool, but if I ever even considered it, trust me, this would not deter me.

Tony is a star, no doubt, but that doesn't change the fact that TE is one of the lowest value positions on the football field.

If the Gints offer their 2nd and 5th, call Philly and ask for a 2nd and 4th. If its a no go, pull the trigger. We can always use those as ammo to move around back into the first round if we absolutely covet someone.

Nothing new here but saw this on the ESPN bottomline..

Chiefs Tony Gonzalez inquires about a trade to a contender. ESPN's Micheal Smith reports, Chiefs are open to trading Tony Gonzalez before tuesday's trade deadline.

If the trade can enhance your position to win a Superbowl in those three years you do it. The Giants won the SB last year and are having a great year so far. If they think that making a move for a proven TE can ensure that get back then they make the deal. Having TG on the Giants makes them much tougher to beat IMO.

We'll never agree.

Giants won one without a star TE, and look better this year.

You don't trade away the future for a 3 year player, especially a TE.

The Giants have the extra draft choices to do it, so it certainly won't hurt them. Especially if Gonzalez helps them win at least one more Super Bowl (which would seem to be a certainty if he's traded).

We might as well trade TG. This team is never going anywhere with or without him.

Wouldn't those extra draft choices be of more benefit to the Giants if they were used to fill holes, instead of using them for a luxury item?

Like Milkman said, the Giants won last year with Kevin Boss at TE.

They don't NEED Gonzalez to win a SB.

The Giants would be crazy to give up more than a third for Tony, but if they offered that 2nd and fifthas has been suggested by Glazer, I'd be all over that like a pig on shit.
