It's easy, and only takes a few moments.In the interview, Gonzalez also says that he’d be open to a possible return next season for the stretch run with a team that’s established itself as a championship contender.
just wondering did you read it?
This was his quote

so he wants to come back in december basically. Wants to skip the important parts.

I think he basically means TC, more or less. A guy in the league that long can skip TC if he wants to. It just means his body won't break down as quickly at the end of the season. Gronk and Gonzalez would be a sight to see.

Was - as in past tense. The hacks at PFT hacked that part when they were hacking someone else's story. Plus he'll be 38 later this month.
Tony Gonzalez: Falcons QB Matt Ryan not elite; I was open to trade - CBSSports.com
Besides talking about Ryan, Gonzalez also touched on a few other topics during his interview. For instance, he was open to being traded before the Oct. 29 deadline after the Falcons fell apart in 2013. Atlanta was 2-5 at the point.
"You trade me to a team that needs me, that wants to make a serious run in the playoffs and the Super Bowl," Gonzalez said. "You get something in return for a guy who you know won't be here next year. And the season isn't going anywhere anyway. That's rational."
According to the ESPN story, Gonzalez was at a restaurant with his wife expecting to be traded and the two were waiting for a call from the Falcons. Gonzalez's phone never rang and he wasn't happy about not being traded.
Back in October, Gonzalez had said he'd 'listen' if Atlanta was interested in trading him.
It really made no sense for the Falcons to keep Gonzalez. Getting any draft pick for a guy who currently has no plans of playing in 2014 would have been a steal for a team that has a few holes to fill.
Ha PFT also edited their original post also.
