TE Gonzalez: could we use him?
 
so...how good of a blocker is he?

watson is hurting, and neither watson nor thomas are too spectacular blocking....how is Tony at it?

he is getting up there in years, and does not have a ring...and plays for the lowly chiefs...could we pry him from KC for a moderate contract?

im asking this mainly for his blocking abilities...

Do you know something we don't???? Is he on the block?

He's a top 5 TE (not sure about blocking though)

Would he take a pay cut? I'd give up a 2nd rounder for him if he'd be willing to give up some cash for a ring.

He's not on the block as far as I know and he isn't too good of a blocker. That would be a complete waste of a second rounder. Why not just keep it for a better trade offer/free agent/draft pick?

Circumstantial evidence, but he's blocked on the line that helped Larry Johnson to some very productive seasons. I wonder whether he'd 'fit the system' in these parts, especially in the passing game. I certainly don't know enough about football to even pretend to grade his blocking, though.

We could also use Brian Urlacher, Champ Bailey, Lito Sheppard and Peyton Manning. Let's get them also.

Just another thread of wanting a player...even though he's quite unavailable..
