Not giving Gonzales the opportunity to break the record at home confirmed Herm Edwards' poor decision making skills. Gonzales deserves better treatment. Herm Edwards AND Carl Peterson need to be sent packing.

Can't imagine why. Oh, and please CBS affiliate in my area, please please please stop showing Chiefs games every Sunday. Please?

The problem is Gonzalez signed a five year contract extension in 2007 making him the highest paid TE. His cap value this year is a little over $5 million. He is getting older. He would be a great pick up for some team ( like the Giants ), but then what? Not sure they have the cap room or the want to fulfill the rest of that contract. He is not a young man. The Chiefs would be dumping that contract off too. That changes the draft pic you would receive.

Hope you're enjoying Herm & his spectacular coaching style

That being said - Tony-
SUCK IT UP.
You are a veteran, getting paid very hansomely-
it is not your inherent right to be on a good or winning team
even though you might be amongst the top 5 TE ever
- How about the contract YOU voluntarily signed?

Herm Edwards is not a good coach, the rebuilding process will take too long under him so I think KC should send him to the Giants so he can win a super bowl.

Eagles fans want him, but how dumb is that. You franchise tagged a mediocre TE ( Smith) which means you are paying him like he is a pro bowl level TE. I do not see a GM doing that and then taking on Gonzalez's contract. You would have $11-$12 million tied up in that position. It would be an NFL record though.

He ain't going nowhere however I think he would be a nice fit for the Giants but I can't see Jerry Reece giving up the high draft pick the Chiefs would be seeking.

I have a feeling the Reese is going to pull off the trade for a 4th or later draft pick. He is set to make a lot but i believe if the Giants cut him in a couple years they would not take a cap hit. If i remember correctly, the Chiefs would take the cap hit now. can anyone back me up on this?

MWS12183...good question. I do not know. It does change the dynamics of the whole thing though.

Gee, what a surprise. When Herman Edwards was hired Gonzalez have demanded to be traded then. Edwards is a born loser, just like Norv Turner. These guys are good assistants but terrible at being the leader of the pack.

As a Giants fan i give up a 3rd and/or later picks but nothing higher. If we can get him for that price we have to do it. TG is a professional and would fit in perfectly. He doesn't carry a big ego and wants to win.

Finish your career with KC, it looks better with H.O.F. voters! No SB, in KC, I know its hard!

If KC can find someone, I hope Gonzales gets traded. That guy has been one of the best players in the NFL and he has not even won a post-season game. Not one. I just hope he stays out of the NFC East.

They have Huard, who once was a 'Fin, let's see if we can't Gonzalez for a draft pick & Beck for him...

King Carl should have been axed years and years ago...

Gonzalez wants out of K.C.

Me too .... if I was him!

Why are teams hesitating??

If your a contender jump on it.

Your a contender and expect to make the super bowl so you will have to give up a late 3rd rounder DO it.

I bet with a contender TONY would play 5 more years

Can you blame him?

It would be lovely to see Mr. Gonzalez wearing a Bills jersey (e.g., conditional third plus Robert Royal for Gonzo; etc.). Maybe even in time for this weekend's game vs the Chargers?

Us Bills fans can dream, anyway. Leave us alone: we've suffered more than enough already. We deserve a little sunshine.

there is talk of the Giants being interested. I'm all for it if it takes a 4th rounder. this is a straight salary dump, so the Chiefs will not receive any value in return for Gonzalez. tight end is one of the only only weak spots on this team. Addressing it would make a lot of sense.

In the end I think Gonzo stays put. Kevin Boss is signed for next to nothing and is developing into a solid tight end. I'm not sure the Giants have the cap room. Burress just got a raise and so did Uminyora.
