So you're being part of 13-3 team does not qualify as a shot. I believe a lot of people would beg to differ. Really? So you’re being part of 13-3 team does not qualify as a shot.

I predict that if this goes down, so will this team, for many years to come. As others have said, lots of players "deserved" a Superbowl ring. I would add Warren Moon to the list of those already mentioned. What's more, Tony G has been part of a team that's was well positioned for many years to make a championship - which is more than a lot of great players can say - so saying he deserves "his shot" elsewhere is complete nonsense. The Chiefs have given him "his shot." In the process, he has been paid very well. There is nothing that is owed to him other than maybe honest, straigtforward talk from the management and coaches. Moving Gonzalez can only mean one thing - that management and coaching simply do not expect this team to be "in contention" before Tony retires. What "Average Joe Fan" will plainly get from that message is that 1) the Chiefs will be no good for the next two years, 2) the only player on this team worth coming to see will no longer be around, and 3) oh, excuse the mess and inconvenience while we renovate. Has anyone noticed that season ticket sales are way down this year? Yeah, let's get rid of Tony Gonzalez and see what does to ticket sales. The new era marketing strategy is what? Come see a non-competing team, with no star talent, while we renovate, and don't worry about your job or the economy! Yeah, I like that a lot!!

I love Tony and would love to see him stay. On the other hand, if we can get some good players in trade, do it up. Actually, I'm getting kind of tired of hearing about it every other month. Sick of the drama. If you want to go pack your shit Tony. This is pretty much a non-issue for me. I love Tony and would love to see him stay.

There is not one person on our roster that is tradeproof. I would not want to trade Flowers,Albert and would need a hell of a deal to move Bowe. Everyone else is open game on that turd of a team we had last year. Sending Tony and Hali to Atlanta for their #24 would be a great deal for the Chiefs.

My problem is that we lose someone who caught, what, over 90 catches the last couple of years on average. So as a GM, who picks that up? Does that mean you take Crabtree instead of Curry, Orakpo or E. Brown? Our #3 needs to be a guaranteed defensive stud. That is what we need. Not another star QB like or even (if) better than Bowe.

How? Let me explain. Tony deserves a SB ring, you are correct. Dan Marino deserved one as well and look what happened to him and as previously mentioned, Jim Kelly. As a fan I would rather have Tony here to help the new "franchise quarterback", then trying to get a SB with a team that, and let me make this perfectly clear, WAS ABSOLUTELY LUCKY TO GET TO THE PLAYOFFS WITH A ROOKIE QB!!! They will not be as good next year. It is likely that Matt Ryan will have the prototypical sophomore jinx. Baldy,

You really think we should hold on to him just b/c he is our best offensive weapon. How exactly did that work out with LJ. We held onto him until he had no trade value and what do we have. Seriously you selfish pricks think that having him for a year or two changes anything. I'd rather get a 2nd and Mack ,Unger, or another tackle and solidify our O line for potentially 10 years then let Tony retire and get nothing in return. Yes he is our best weapon but look at our future and what we could get in return. I dont buy your bullshit that we should keep him just so he can retire in two years. vbchief and daniel your f!@#$ng crazy if you think we are making a super bowl run.

What player in the late second round is going to help matt cassel and this team as much as Tony G will. Beside ATL has as much of a chance in winning a superbowl as the Chiefs.
