TG just went to atlanta for a second round in 10'
ESPN just reported on Sportscenter that TG is traded to ATL for a 2010 2nd Rounder. Im sad.
Sad to see him go, had to happen some day, would have rather seen the pick for this year.
Damn it, now go out there and hurt someone!
that sucks... I wanted TG but i was ok with a 09 2nd rounder. NOT a 10 2nd rounder
BS to let him go for a pick next year not knowing the pick placement

The Chiefs have agreed to trade the perennial Pro Bowl tight end to the Atlanta Falcons for a second-round pick in the 2010 draft, FOXSports.com has learned.
Gonzalez has already spoken to both the Chiefs and Falcons about the deal, according to sources.
Gonzalez has been the subject of trade rumors since asking
out of Kansas City in October. Last month, however, Kansas City owner Clark Hunt indicated that his prized tight end would remain with the organization.
[i]"We certainly will not seek a trade for Tony," Hunt told the Kansas City Star. "I think he's excited about the changes we've made here. I think he recognizes that with Todd (Haley) as the head coach, we're going to have an exciting offense and one that will feature the passing game."
Since the end of a 2-14 season, the Chiefs have been in rebuilding mode. They installed Scott Pioli as general manager and Haley as head coach and also traded a pick in this year's draft for former Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel and linebacker Mike Vrabel.
After Gonzalez's trade request in October, then-general manager Carl Peterson said no team that Gonzalez was willing to go to made a good enough offer. Gonzalez has been the symbol of the Chiefs offense for the past 12 seasons, making 10 consecutive Pro Bowls and six All-Pro teams. Kansas City drafted him with the 13th overall pick in 1997.
i'm wondering if we are not going to try to swap our #3 and the 2nd rounder from 2010 in a deal for saturday to move back and get a 2nd back this year.
atlanta is going to be sick this year.. they can focus on D now
