The Chiefs supposedly offered the falcons a 5th round pick for Gonzales and they didn't take it ahahaaaaa

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Yes, you read that right, the Chiefs offered to take Tony Gonzales, who was in his final season, a 5th round pick from the Falcons, and the Falcons REFUSED.

We need to stomp them out like a house fire Sunday.

Falcon fans agree with the decision from what I've read on their board, they actually thought he was worth a 3rd. Lmao

If it wasn't for his damn push-offs, I'd feel for the guy.

[TylerVagyler]

I wouldn't have done the trade either, honestly.

[top dawg]

The Falcons are done, with or without Gonzo.  They might as well had pretty much taken a free 5th rounder, and allowed him to at least have a chance at a championship in the place where he spent most of his career.  It would have been a class move, but we're talking about the Falcons. 

[SmashNDash]

Gonzo should retire midseason to screw them back over.

[CelticCat]

They should have let him go.

 

Surely this is his last year anyway. The only reason he came back was because he thought ATL could make it to the SB.

 

Maybe they were scared Matt would get killed for real and needed his security blanket.

[AceBoogie]

They didn't make the trade simply from a business standpoint. You make that trade and your telling your team and your fans that the season is over. Can't have that. I knew they wouldn't make the trade unless they were mathematically out of it. Washington started off 3-6 and made the playoffs. That has to be their mindset, you can't give up on the season when there is still hope

[KendrickPanther]

That would have been a great trade for Atl, glad they didnt take it.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

gettleman would have made that trade!

[TbTeRRoR]

Not surprised.  I agree with other poster  esp if they lose to us this week.   Retire Tony and tell ATL to EAD

[KSpan]

As someone who lives in KC (Panthers fan, Chiefs observer), I continue to be impressed at Tony's Teflon-like ability to not come across as a whiner with this 'trade me to a contender' business. I understand he didn't outright say that here, but wouldn't every player prefer to play for a winning team? He played on plenty of winning teams in both KC and Atl, so not sure what gives him a pass.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

i wouldn't have taken it either.

doing so says they've given up on the season.
