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


Recommended Posts

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'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
