Chiefs Tony G has cleaned out his locker - Page 5

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.

I gave him a break every time he went to the Pro Bowl and did the( everybody say it with me )"I've never won a playoff game, I don't know what it's like" pity-party. Enough of that shit!

DONE. OVER. SEE-YA!

Eh. I never really cared about what he SAID. Just what he did, and what he still can do on the field. I understand being pissed off about him constantly asking for a trade though.

plus, we've already gotten his best years....trading him is a total win...getting a 2nd is an epic total ****ing win...

and now we can try building the team around the QB instead of the TE....crazy...i know

As much as I want Tony to finish his career a Chief, That does make sense.

Plus, He blew me off for a autograph at Training camp.

He's played on some good teams in KC and was absolutely prioritized in KC and deservedly so. It's not either or. A tight end can't carry you. I think that he's the greatest tight end to ever play. But how many years in a row has this guy asked for a trade? I have more respect for a guy that is a team guy. I understand what you are saying, and I'm sure that he's a good guy....just never has liked KC as much as KC has loved him. He will never play in another place like Arrowhead.

Trade his ass then!!!!!111

If the Chiefs pull this trade off I'll be stoked. I wanted the 3rd during last season and thought no way KC would get better value after the season.

This guy's played his heart and soul out for this team.
I don't mind him wanting a shot at a ring before he hangs it up.
I hope he gets one. GREAT player. I appreciate all he's done in his time here.
One of my Top 5 all-time Chiefs.

I'll miss him, but if the dude wants out he wants out. Now it's up to Pioli to get maximum value for him

Guess Carl was wrong as usual.

"They'll run me out of town if I trade you". But then again, if was Carl handling the deal; probably so.

I can understand that. It's a tough one no matter who's side your on. The smart thing is to let him go, but it's not what i'd like to c

DTLB58 · 04-13-2009, 05:48 PM

I find it humorus how some say he deserves a ring or a chance with another team Like it's a gimmie just because he changes teams he gets to the SB.

What are the chances he goes to Atlanta and their coach and QB have a sophmore slump and the Chiefs have a 2008 Miami like turnaround?

It can be looked at, that he played his way out of KC. No way did he have to play the way he did last season. He proved he was ALL PRO, after not getting his wish to be traded.

**the Talking Can** · 04-13-2009, 05:48 PM

it's not personal...he's a great player, i loved watching him

but we've gotten his best and now we need to move on...and he seems to want to move on as well

win
win

I'm good with him wanting out of Kansas City.
I just don't get all the backlash from fans that accompanies it.

Marcellus · 04-13-2009, 05:49 PM

Isn't it nice that a team that was 4-12 the same year we were, and had no more talent then KC, made changes in the FO and at coach a year before we did, drafted well, and now our HOF TE is worth a second rounder to them and the second rounder is now worth more to us some how.

If TG is worth more to us in a trade for a second round pick when we have no $ issues and need all the play makers we can get..........

Sorry I find that depressing.
