“I love my guys on this team too much to go ask for a trade,” Gonzalez told Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. “It would be something that would come from them where they said, ‘Hey, it makes sense because we could get something good for you and send you to a team that’s a contender.’ So I understand the thought process behind that.”


“When [FOX's] Jimmy Johnson says that it would be respectful of [the Falcons to ask Gonazlez if he wants to play for a contender], I see that,” Gonzalez said “And like I said, if that’s something they wanted to do and they asked me, then, yeah, I would listen to them, of course. Yes, I would sit down with them.

The guy was already contemplating a retirement this past offseason. He's a rental for the season then he'll most likely walk away. I liked what I saw from Quarless against the Vikings. Wouldn't hurt though to have a badass 2 TE threat like during the days of Keith Jackson and Mark Chmura.

i'd be for it.

bet he goes back to KC though.

Tony G with Cobb, Jones, Nelson, and possibly Finley would be fantastic.

I could go either way.

I trust in Ted.

I don't think it would happen; I don't think it should happen. A factor, of course, is when/if Jermichael Finley comes back. I am reasonably satisfied, for the short term anyway, with Quarless, Bostick, and Stoneburner. If we did trade for Gonzales, I would hope Ted Thompson didn't give more than a 6th round pick - and that probably wouldn't be enough for the Falcons.

It all depends on what the asking price is. I can't see anything lower than a 6th for a rental. Knowing Ted he can find our long term TE with that same pick.

I would love this trade. Depending on what we have to give up which I don't think would be much.

I have always been a fan of Gonzo, he has been nothing but class his entire career. And he can still play enough. If there was one non-Packer I would like to see win a SB, it would be Gonzo and having him win one as a Packer would be even better.

I'd much rather have had the Packers trade for Marcedes Lewis from Jacksonville. The guy is a beast, just hasn't had an NFL quarterback throwing to him for the past few years. Skill set that is very similar to Finley's.

Trade deadline has past

Ted Thompson remains Ted Thompson.

The Packers TE's will stay as they are and I'm quite satisfied.

All part of the puzzle.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Zero2Cool (10h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (10h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (10h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (11h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (11h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (11h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (11h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.
Martha Careful (11h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat
Mucky Tundra (12h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point
Zero2Cool (12h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
beast (13h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)
Mucky Tundra (22h) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree
dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo
dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening
Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
