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.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
