Glazer: Tony Gonzalez working on deal to return to Atlanta Falcons - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN
Nice guy and a great player, wish him all the best for the remainder of his career.
The most productive tight end in the history of the NFL is officially putting off retirement for one more year.
Tony Gonzalez told FOX Sports in an exclusive interview that he has now told the Atlanta Falcons he is coming back and the two sides are on the verge of a new contract that will put him back with Matt Ryan and Co. for one more run.
"After discussing it with my family and really, truly struggling with this decision, I informed the Falcons that I would like to return for one more shot," Gonzalez told FOX Sports after meeting with doctors in order to get medical clearance. "Considering how this season ended, I wanted to give it another run with Matt (Ryan), Smitty (head coach Mike Smith) and the guys we have in there. It was the first time I had won a playoff game and hopefully coming back once more we can take it one step further."
