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.

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.

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

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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
