05:31 PM ET 02.15 | Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the veteran tight end is closer to 50/50 on retiring, according to Dan Hanzus of NFL.com. Gonzalez said toward the end of the 2012 season that he was 95 percent sure he'd retire: "Tony has done so much for us on and off the field and I don't believe, not stating that he would be lying to anyone, but I don't believe the 95 percent," Dimitroff said Thursday on NBC Sports Network's "Pro Football Talk." "I want to believe it's a lot closer to 50/50, to be honest with you, and we've had discussions." "Obviously (head coach) Mike Smith has had discussions with him. We're all in a good place. Ultimately it's up to Tony to decide if he wants to come back and potentially catch 100 balls again. I think it's one of those situations that Tony was so effective for us down the stretch and I can't imagine that his appetite wasn't sort of whet from his contributions in the playoffs."
