The Eagles are said to have offered KC a third round pick for TG. I dont know if if this is true or not, but I hope we don't do anything less than a 2nd rounder.

I'm surprised Philly isn't giving in to the idea of a second round for Tony G. It's not a crazy thought considering you'd get the best in the business immediately. The Eagles are close to winning a championship and who better to put them over the edge than a guy who deserves a ring like Tony. McNabb and Westbrook are not getting any younger and I thought they were going to pull the trigger last season when they still had Dawkins.

The Philly are in a bit of a "Need to win it all Now" mentality. While it would be crazy, the idea that they just traded for Jason Peters, could possibly trade for Tony G., then trade their other first round pick for Anquan Boldin would really make that team scary. They seem to be getting desperate just to win it all but I can't really blame them. Even if a move like Gonzalez would last about 2-3 seasons instead of drafting a TE in the second and having him for ten years, having that ring and trophy makes all the difference.

I read an article which stated the Eagles had offered a 3rd round pick. Also stated the Chiefs were not interested in trading TG, and would not trade him unless someone makes an offer they can't refuse.
IMO that would probally be a 2nd round pick.
Coach is right TG would be the perfect fit in philly. McNabb isn't the most acurate QB in the NFL, TG would help greatly.

The ickles big weakness is wr and te. Would hate to have TG bail them out. He could make up for the inaccurate throws from McNabb with his great reaching ability.

Bottom line though, I want the best te of all time to stay in KC where he belongs.

Exactly how I feel.
