Regarding Gonzalez aka Greetings from Atlanta

[karst41]

Greetings from Atlanta.

Obvious that the Falcons season is a train wreck due to injuries
and questionable drafting by Dimitroff.

Tony has brought us many spectacular plays and he is still playing at a very high level
in spite of missing training camp.

Many Falcon Fans really appreciate what the man has brought to the team and
in his final season it makes most of us sick to the stomach to see him
trapped with a team that will be drafting #8 overall.

We want this guy to exit the game with a team that has a strong chance to
play for the Lombardi, and the Chiefs are in a very good place right now.

Tony has stated that he has no desire to be traded away from his team mates in Atlanta (mostly Ryan)
and is not going to throw us under the bus.
The guy has Class.

If we just cut him the the Jags will have first dibbies on him.

Trading for draft picks is a bit much being that this is his final season
and we are paying his azz $7mil.
So I am thinking a 7th ?? or a player off your roster.
We need defensive help,,and I am betting that your scrubs are better than ours.

Any thoughts?
or do I have to emotionally hold the Donks (Denver) over your heads..

Yaeh yeah yeah,,, I know that was a cheap shot, but for the sake of Gonzalez
I just had to ;)

Cheers

Any of y'all remember the Atlanta Cheifs?

Reports that we made an offer for TG..... http://bleacherreport.com/tb/dbBXv?u...as-city-chiefs

Given how Dorsey is about draft picks, I find it sketchy. What do you think?????

I would have offered a 5th round pick. I mean, after all how often is a 5th round pick a long term contributor on anything more than special teams (except for maybe a kicker or LS). Anything less than a 5th and I would have said no dice.

Whether it's true or not, it makes "TG the Free Agent" in 2014 an interesting story. Sure he's retiring. Can't blame him. But he has been retiring for 2 straight years now. One last try for the ring....in red and gold???????? Talk about "cinderella stories"......

What difference does it make. The deadline passed and he is still in Atlanta. Why bring up talks of rumors?

Because he would be a free agent next year and if the Chiefs looked like a contender he might be willing to take one more shot at that ring he wants so much. Giving up a pick for him and picking up the last half of his contract would have been a stretch.....but if we could get one year out of him for nothing more than a paycheck????
