“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.
