We'd have a hell of a shot if Tony G. came to help. When's the trade deadline?
Dunno about the trade deadline, but I suspect we don't have the kind of cap space we would need to get him even if Atlanta was willing to deal. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...ng_smiley2.gif
A fun fantasy though.......
We don't have the cap space to pay him unless we get rid of someone really good. I can't think of a deal that the Falcons would go for. Who would you trade for him? Jamaal Charles? They need help on defense. Would you trade Hali or Flowers for Tony? That's what it would take. They might go for both Houston AND Poe, but that still wouldn't give us enough cap space.
I'd love to have him back, but he only has a year or two left and besides, we are winning without him. We are trying to build to be a powerhouse for the long haul. Our offense will continue to get better and even more so when we get Fasano and Kelce back. Next year, if we still see a need, we can address it in the draft or free agency. That makes more sense to me.
^^ As much as I liked Tony G., the fact of the matter is that his time has passed. That chapter was closed in 2009 and it did not end well with Pioli using the draft pick we got for him on Arenas, who I did not think was any better than a 4th rounder.
Tony G. is never going to happen.
I just don't see Tony G. coming back. Too many other teams with more cap space would love to have him. With that being said I'll always remember him as a Chief.
Everybody is correct of course. TG won't be back. But thinking/talking about it is sort of like buying a Powerball ticket....you know you are not going to win, but it's still fun to dream.
