Well that messes up my Mock draft. Brandon Pettigrew to the Ravens now I think.

For all of you who are going to jump on Ted Thompson for not pulling the trigger on this deal last year, even Gonzalez himself contemptuously remarked after KC's GM raised the asking price: "Nobody is going to trade a second for a 32-year-old tight end." If not even Gonzalez thought he was worth a second-round pick, it's hard to fault anyone else for agreeing.

The irony, of course, is that Atlanta has now paid a second-round pick for a 33-year-old tight end. He'll be 34 when the payment is actually made.

A second round pick for Tony Gonzalez? Are they crazy? This will set back their franchise for years. The Falcons are doomed I tell ya. DOOMED! ::wink:

I'm not going to bitch about the Pack and Ted Thompson not getting him last season because it was not our faults and I think a lot of people failed to see that.
I think this helps the Falcons tremendously on offense. Matt Ryan is a good quarterback, don't forget that he was a rookie last year and he helped bring a bottom feeder to a contender.
Falcons got a steal. Tony Gonzalez is 33 and is still a top 3 tight end in the league. I can't believe people don't see this as a steal. Next years 2nd round pick?
Gonzalez had more redzone td's than the whole Falcons team did last year...saw that this morning.
STEAL.

Hmm...

I'm not blaming Ted Thompson on this at all because if I remember correctly, KC offered a deal then pulled it, and it was KC's fault, not ours. Wasn't that the case? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Chiefs Did Well For Themselves
Posted by Mike Florio on April 23, 2009, 7:59 p.m.

Heres a quiz for you. (The winners get a free one-week subscription to PFT.)

Who made the following question statement last year regarding the possible trade of Tony Gonzalez?

Nobody is going to trade a second for a 32-year-old tight end.

Was it: (a) Chiefs G.M. Carl Peterson; (b) Packers G.M. Ted Thompson; (c) Eagles president Joe Banner; (d) Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star; or (e) Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez?

If you picked (e), you win the prize.

Gonzalezs comment came as part of a diatribe regarding the failure of Chiefs G.M. Carl Peterson to trade him during the 2008 season.

I know teams offered a third and in the end, Carl [Peterson] made the asking price a second, Gonzalez said. Im very disappointed that he didnt go through with it after he told me he was going to try to make it happen. Ive been around this league a long time, its a business. Theres nothing I can do about it. I was pissed off about it but Ill get over it.

So now, during the 2009 offseason, the Chiefs got a second-round pick for Gonzalez, whos now a 33-year-old tight end.
