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 feel like draft picks are so overrated these days. In the last 5 NFL drafts not counting last seasons, we only have a couple players left on the roster....and most are not even in the league.

Anything less than a first for Gonzalez, and I keep him on the Chiefs.

Even a low-round #2 is a hell of an offer for Gonzalez.
Forces you to immediately find another reliable pass-catcher though.
Might not be the worst thing. We do have Engram. He won't be as productive as Gonzalez, but he's got really reliable hands and with a legitimate #2 I think we'd be okay.

I really wanna see Gonzalez retire as a Chief, but as a pure football move this would definitely get me to thinking.

We'd get that #2 back and still have an outside shot at trading down.

Peterson cared way too much about him, and even though there was a deal on the table with the Falcons LAST SEASON, it didn't get done. Because Carl allowed Gonzalez to turn it down. This was confirmed by Jay Glazer.

But if Pioli wants Gonzalez shipped out, adios. I doubt he would consider his feelings.

One more thing for Tony to talk to Oprah about.

They just picked up Thomas and could be trading Tony G? The unpredictablity of this new regime is thrilling and scary at the same time. SCHWING

I'l be fine either way. I see the obvious value of picking up a 2nd. I also love watching Tony play and think he's got some good years left. Not gonna get worked up about this one.

JuicesFlowing · 04-12-2009, 01:16 PM

I could care less how old Tony G is, he's still at the top of his game. Keep him.

KChiefs1 · 04-12-2009, 01:16 PM

Coffman is going to be a stud TE in the NFL.

Direckshun · 04-12-2009, 01:28 PM

I side with milkman, OTW, and others who say a 2nd round pick is more than fair. Do the deal, and do it now.

With that in mind...

You've got to give Carl Peterson credit for not trading Gonzo away last year for a 3rd.

#55 ain't gonna' get it; NEXT!

I'm sorry, but yes it will.

TE is already a de-valued position. There is no TE in the league that is worth a 1st rounder.

For a 33-year-old, it makes sense that a 2nd rounder is the best possible compensation we can get for a player that won't be here when we're good.

KcKing · 04-12-2009, 01:42 PM

Guess I should sell my Tony G. Chiefs Memorabilia soon before it devalues like my Signed LJ jersey and my Okoye 8X10...

LaChapelle · 04-12-2009, 01:46 PM

KWII and Tony G in the same division(for 2s) would make the NFC South interesting.

Direckshun · 04-12-2009, 01:49 PM

I will say this.

If the Chiefs tarde Tony G, they have to burn at least one major pick, and maybe as much as two picks total, on WR and/or TE in this draft.

We cannot leave Cassel with one weapon.
