Source: Chiefs' Gonzalez wants out
Didn't see this posted already...

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...ml?eref=si_nfl

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Contrary to remarks by Kansas City owner Clark Hunt, Tony Gonzalez wants to be traded if the right deal can be made, a person close to the Pro Bowl tight end told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Asking not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject, the person said Gonzalez was surprised that Hunt had said the Chiefs were definitely not going to trade their 10-time Pro Bowler.

"If the right deal can be made, Tony very much wants the Chiefs to trade him," the person said. "Tony is not demanding a trade. Tony cherishes the time he's spent with the Chiefs and he loves the way he's always been treated by the fans there. But he knows of some other teams that would be interested in him and if the right deal can be made, he wants it to be made."

A Chiefs spokesman said Hunt could not be immediately reached. At the owners' meeting in Dana Point, Calif., on Monday, Hunt said the Chiefs had decided not to deal Gonzalez, whose many NFL records includes the most catches, yards receiving and touchdown receptions by a tight end.

"We certainly will not seek a trade for Tony," Hunt told The Kansas City Star. "I think he's excited about the changes we've made here. I think he recognizes that with Todd (Haley) as the head coach, we're going to have an exciting offense and one that will feature the passing game."

Since the end of a 2-14 season, the Chiefs have installed Scott Pioli as general manager and Haley as head coach.

The 33-year-old Gonzalez asked to be traded last October. But then-general manager Carl Peterson said no team that Gonzalez was willing to go to made a good enough offer.

The only tight end in NFL history selected to 10 Pro Bowls, Gonzalez was usually double-teamed last year but still caught 96 passes for 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns. He plans on playing at least one more season and possibly two.

"If the Chiefs can't make a deal with the right team, then Tony will be fine with that," The AP was told. "He is not demanding a trade. But if the right deal can be made, he very much would like to be traded."

Even if TG is traded, he only has short odds that he'll go to a franchise that will find their way to the Super Bowl. That's why they play the games.

I'm weary of this drama.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts on the subject.

And what's this whole "he's got 1 or 2 more years left" crap? I've never seen/heard anything about him showing up to a team activity out of shape and he's still very productive. I'm willing to bet he could play 3, maybe even 4 more seasons if he wants to. By that time, we should hopefully be competing for playoff spots & whatnot.

Sorry, but this is nothing close to the Cutler saga. This team is going to need TG next season and Mr. Hunt has spoken. Story over.

I'll bet both the Eagles and Giants wish they'd pulled the trigger on that deal last season, though.

Eh, if it was unprecedented I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, but it seems like we have a Tony drama once or twice a year. I sometimes think he's wanted out of KC ever since he was drafted.

It's a tough spot.

If you really have a legit shot at the SB, you have to pull out all the stops. But if my team gave up a high draft pick for an old player whose level of play could realistically fall off a cliff tomorrow (don't think it will with Gonzo, just saying) I would be beyond pissed.

And we're not talking about an old QB or dominant pass rusher; we're talking about a TE. Aside from KC fans, saying 1st rounder for a 30-something guy who plays an ancillary position will cause people to look twice.

Sounds like TG and BW are working from the same playbook then. I suspect Mr. Hunt's comments are final. Unless someone makes an offer that can't be refused.

I agree. But Gonzalez would have immediately contributed and could have well put either one of them over the hump. And he is, at the moment, at least, at the top of his game and healthy. It is reasonable to assume he's got at least one good year left in him, so they would have had that plus the end of last season.

If it works, the GM is a hero. But even if it doesn't, I think it would have been an acceptable risk.

Now, with another year gone? Perhaps not.
