Report: Gonzalez Traded To Falcons
Posted by Aaron Wilson on April 23, 2009, 2:30 p.m. EDT

The Kansas City Chiefs have traded Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2010 second-round draft pick, according to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com.

This marks the first trade between former New England Patriots colleagues Scott Pioli, the Chiefs General Manager, and Thomas Dimitroff, the Falcons General Manager.

Ironically, the 10-time Pro Bowl selection and five-time All-Pro rejected a trade to Atlanta last year.

Now, though, the Falcons have an established young quarterback in Matt Ryan.

Gonzalez caught 96 passes last season for 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns.

In a dozen NFL seasons, Gonzalez has caught 916 career passes for 10,940 yards and 76 touchdowns.

UPDATE: The Chiefs have officially confirmed the deal and released statements from Chiefs team owner Clark Hunt and Pioli.

On behalf of my family and the Chiefs, I want to thank Tony for his time in Kansas City, Hunt said. Over the last 12 seasons, Tony has been one of the finest players in Chiefs history, and he will always be remembered as a member of the Chiefs.

His play on the field speaks for itself he holds almost every major NFL record for tight ends, and he is arguably the best to ever play his position. We wish him the best in Atlanta.

Added Pioli: From an organizational as well as personal standpoint, there are mixed emotions. I have the highest personal and professional respect for Tony and consider him to be a future Pro Football Hall of Famer.

A 2nd round pick for a TE in the twilight of his career.. Not a steal in my book.. fair value to slightly overpaying to obtain him.

2nd round pick spends the same next year as this.. heck it might even be better if they redo the CBA with a realistic salary numbers for draft picks..

Well they just said on ESPN that the reason for the pick next year is because the Falcons have a few extra compensation picks from previous deals so they can use them and get the 2nd back. Plus i see them making the playoffs and that 2nd will pretty much be like a 3rd rounder.

I think the Falcons have a ton of questions in that secondary.. hardly a lock to make the playoffs. IMO.

About right for TG..

I think Matt Ryan is a fine QB, but I can't help think he's benefiting from that running game.

Well okay but you've just taken away a valuable asset for Cassel in my opinion. Falcons got a deal there. I would have assumed two draft picks for a fair deal.

Ya, if you discount the prediction that there is going to be about 10 bazillion "rebitches" posted here and elsewhere until the 9th pick, when the rebitchers can switch to bitching about the 9th pick. I wish we could just cut through all the paperwork and dig up the old thread and repost the same crap that got whined about last year and be done with it.

I agree. And even then he was good, not amazing, although he is still a rookie. I think he might be one of the most overrated players in the game. Good for the kid though, but we'll see where he goes. Ryan Leaf had a couple of good games in the beginning aswell. So did Roethlisberger. It can go either way.

I like this deal. A 2nd is something a contending team should give and I think the Falcons think that they are there themselfs. That's all KC could get, though.

I do agree that they take away a weapon from Cassell. Someone who can get him settled there. I'm not sold on Matt and I think he might struggle even more this way than he would just getting to a worse offense than he was in.

Tyler Thigpen liked him aswell, the real talent they have on the bench there.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed
