metalfalcon Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 ajc Sports TalkIs Tony Gonzalez worth the Falcons’ 2nd-round pick?7:36 pm April 13, 2009, by AJCThe Internet and sports talk radio were buzzing Monday about the possibility of the Falcons trading for All-Pro tight end Tony Gonzalez.According to the National Football Post, the Falcons “are seriously considering” sending a second-round pick (No. 55 overall) to the Chiefs for the 33-year-old tight end.The AJC’s D. Orlando Ledbetter looked into the rumors and found nothing concrete, but says things could “percolate” into something.Gonzalez caught 96 passes for 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.The Falcons’ top tight end Justin Peelle caught 15 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns.Would this be a good move for the Falcons?LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRob215 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Gonzo is still good, but I don't see him lasting more than about 2 years. I hope TD sticks with his "build through the draft" mantra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalfalcon Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 I agree, I hope we do stick with the plan but a third round pick for Tony sounds pretty good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymadd Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 If we can squeeze this trade out with a 3rd round pick then i will be all about this trade, but just a little uneasy about a 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanka Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm not sure about using a 2nd round pick on him but if we do it I will still be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Offseason Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 id be happy if we dealt a 2nd for him, but id be really happy if we only needed to send a 3rd. :P and waddya know... mike lombardi makes up more nonsense. why do i ever even listen to what that jerk-off has to say. -Mr. Offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynyrd04 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Is Gonzo worth a 2nd - No. I s Gonzo worth a 3rd - Yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevesmetro Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 If it is true (2nd rounder) then hopefully it happens after this draft. With the extra picks it looks like we will get next year(Maybe a 3rd & 4th) then losing a 2nd wouldn't sting as much as it would this year.Of course a 3rd next year would be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalfalcon Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 No Gonzalez Conversations Yet Between KC-FalconsPosted by Tom Curran: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 3:09 PMThe Falcons and Chiefs haven't talked about a deal that would send wide receiver Tony Gonzalez to Atlanta, according to two sources.That's not to say that Atlanta wouldn't be happy to have a player of Gonzalez' ilk but that's been nothing more than a daydream to this point.Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post reported Monday that this is a deal Atlanta is "seriously considering." And while they may be considering it, it hasn't - as of Tuesday afternoon - progressed past that.We'll be keeping an eye and ear on this and will let you know if anything shakes out.NBC Sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
