Sorry if re-post, didn't see it anywhere.

The Falcons are reportedly interested in trading for Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez.
The National Football Post's Michael Lombardi says the Falcons are "seriously considering" the option, with their second-round pick as bait. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt is attached to his franchise icon, but he might be convinced to part ways as the team rebuilds.

Atlanta has the 55th pick in the second. Maybe Jarron Gilbert or Paul Kruger although I'd rather see Tony stick it out here.

I read that as, "You would trade for O.J. in a second."

You have to know that part of the deal in getting Pioli to sign on had to be full control over those football operations.

Clark could have told Pioli OK as long as TG is off limits.

As we saw last year. He is more important to our offense than even Mecca knows.

What I meant was we'd have a pick in the Second Round.
#55 isn't exactly anything to sneeze at.

This team isn't above taking a player even at the bottom of that round.

I am fine with whatever they do. Even if i dont like a particular trade i am fine with it. i wasnt thrilled with the Allen trade last year, but i have no control over what happens. So whatever happens happens. Players come and go.

Put your ass on the line.

I'll wait until after the draft and after all of the signings are in before I make any wagers/predictions about next year.

I think so far Pioli has addressed several needs (Cassel, Vrabel, Thomas, Engram, Goff, Beisel) and I don't think he's done yet.

Come find me after the draft/rest of the signings are in and I'll give you my prediction...and if it's so 'out there' we can make some kind of a wager.

Sounds good.

Regardless of what they do this offseason, I'm sticking to no more than 4 wins.

Why you'd tempt Aaron Curry like this, I have no clue.

I'd put money on them getting 5. $20 sound good?

We should all be emotionally married to a player that's never even been part of a playoff win.

Joe Montana won 4 Superbowls and got traded.

I am pretty sure Pioli cares more about the color of my poop than what Cassel thinks.

If that was the case, I am pretty sure Pioli would have told Clark to go **** himself and then finish his career in New England.

Also why do people think Gonzalez is a team leader? I've never seen that I've seen a guy who's been great at his position and cares about his personal stats but not team leader.

maybe.

He's been a bust, 0 sacks in 07, 2 last year. Mike Smith may try him more at DT hoping to get something out of him.

He might be a good fit for a 5tech in the 34. We could probably have a shot at Jarron Gilbert at #55 and try to develop him instead. I'd trade Tamba for him straight up though.

We were 2-14 last year and looked god awful on both sides of the ball. Last year did not establish any precedence about the future of this football team.
