Tony G still wants to be traded
 
Now I know we seem to have a full stable of TE's, but really, Wendy or Watson (pref Wendy, imo) could be dumped or traded away. We have a retarded amount of extra picks.

Think a deal could get done with Pioli, maybe for one of his TE choices here?

Asking not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject, the person said Gonzalez was surprised that Hunt had said the Chiefs were definitely not going to trade their 10-time Pro Bowler.

“If the right deal can be made, Tony very much wants the Chiefs to trade him,” the person said. “Tony is not demanding a trade. Tony cherishes the time he’s spent with the Chiefs and he loves the way he’s always been treated by the fans there. But he knows of some other teams that would be interested in him and if the right deal can be made, he wants it to be made.”

Who would you rather have playing for the Pats in 2010--Tony G or Big Vince?

Do you honestly believe he wants out for more money? Maybe, but I can't see anyone throwing monster cash at him.

We have 2 rookie contracts [watson is like 1.5 millio and tomas close to a million] and chris baker here

you want to cut a 1.5 million contract so you can sign a older player for more ?. more over Tony cannot play watson role as the inline blocker and in pulling gaurd run take on defensive end . he has never done it so you want to get him to put in passing downs and use another TE for blocking aka graham when every one could guess when a running down is coming and when a passing one.

If Gonzalez was this teams TE it wouldn't matter if the defense knew we were gonna pass because they couldn't stop it anyhow.

Teaming Gonzalez up with Moss, Welker and Galloway and having Brady tossing balls to the open target would be sick!

You really believe that if a team brings all out blitz every down knowing their is NO run to defend you will be fine. AKA gaints superbowl plan.

Cutting Kazur saves 1.8 mil. Cutting Hobbs saves 2.2 mil. Niether player is a must have.

NE could create enough space for Tony G not that I believe he would cost that much to sign in NE. The NE offense would be flat out unstoppable with TG as a TE.

Gonzalez is the highest paid TE in the NFL at $7 million/year. I doubt it's a money issue for him.

I have no doubt Gonzalez would be an upgrade in the passing game over any of our TE's, but honestly, how many balls are there to go around? Moss and Welker are going to combine for close to 200 catches if Brady is healthy all year, and Galloway is no slouch as a number 3. Factor in Faulk on screens and an added emphasis on the running game (given Brady's injury and the addition of Fred Taylor), and how many catches do you expect to go the TE's way?

Having Tony Gonzalez on this offense would be a thing of beauty.....to Pats fans

A nightmare to opposing defenses.....

I'll accept him gladly....:cool:
