Chiefs Tony G has cleaned out his locker - Page 11

LaChapelle · 05:37 PM

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.

Hey, Gonzo will be in Canton one day, but he's 33 and entering his 13th season... KC should smile big for a R2.

Micheal Smith on NFL LIVE said that this is unlikely to happen cause we aren't going to trade a good player and want to win NOW,

He did say ATL wants this to happen bad...

I know he is a good NFL reporter guy, but seriously?

Report: Chiefs Reject Falcons Offer for Gonzalez

Frank Boal of FOX4 in Kansas City is reporting the Kansas City Chiefs have rejected a trade offer from the Atlanta Falcons for tight end Tony Gonzalez. The offer was for the Falcons' 55th overall pick according to Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post.

*Boal rarely breaks news about the Chiefs and the rest of the mainstream media hasn't picked up on this yet so we're certainly going to continue following this story until we can get another confirmation.

Rumors have been swirling that the Chiefs were nearing a deal with someone to move Gonzalez. The basis of some of these rumors? Gonzalez cleaning out his locker.

We'll never know if the future Hall of Fame tight end was simply cleaning out his locker before the start of the Chiefs first veteran mandatory mini-camp on April 17th or if he removed his belongings with the intention that he wouldn't be back.

If the GM Scott Pioli values Gonzalez more than the Falcons' second round pick then it's unlikely any team in the NFL will match his price. The overlord of the previous Chiefs regime, Carl Peterson, reportedly pushed his asking price from a third to a second and fifth round pick at the trading deadline last year.

We can debate about Gonzalez's worth all day long but he's worth whatever any team will offer him. If the offers that came in last season (Eagles' 3rd, Giants' 6th) are any indication, Tony Gonzalez will not be traded by the Chiefs this season.

Guess Michael Smith is right again, we really want to win now huh?! Take the ****ing 2nd rounder or hope we are waiting till draft day

tk13 · 04-13-2009, 10:39 PM

Haha well, not that it isn't necessarily already a fair offer... but there's no harm in waiting to see just "how bad" the Falcons want this to happen.

So is someone in the ATL is ultimately going to squeal like a pig?

SBK · 04-13-2009, 10:46 PM

If that was ATL's first offer it would absolutely be rejected. If a 2nd is their initial offer it means they're prepared to offer more.

If they've been discussing this for awhile then maybe we don't want to trade....

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 04-13-2009, 10:49 PM

It's gonna be their 2nd and the rights to Mike Vick.

DUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can only assume you are joking.

I'm not exactly sure I'd trust Frank Boal.

I'll be pretty sad to see him go, but, it's probably best for the team.
