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.
