Eagles Chasing Gonzalez?
From SI’s Don Banks:
The buzz about the Chiefs resuming their attempts to trade veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez has re-started, and it sounds as if the Eagles might have nosed ahead of the Falcons as the most likely trade partner. Philly is thought to be willing to give up a third-rounder for Gonzalez. But Kansas City is seeking at least a second-round pick for a player it considers a future Hall of Famer, and may not be willing to bear the brunt of any criticism that could come if it’s perceived to have given away Gonzalez too cheaply.
Well, that might make you forget about Sheldon for a couple of minutes, right?
We could never see the Eagles giving up a second round pick for a 33 year old, even if it is Gonzalez. Doesn’t mean we’d be upset if they did, though.

TG has about 2, maybe 3 years left in the tank.. Give up one of our 1,348 picks and grab him! A great mentor for Celek
i’d be in favor of giving up a 3rd round pick for him, but the 2nd round pick would be a little excessive i think. considering randy moss was had for only a 4th a few seasons ago coming out of similar a situation as tony gonzales from unproductive teams, and putting up less than stellar numbers the last few years with that team. who knows though, he could come in and thrive in the eagles offensive system, surrounded by talent and having a real QB throwing to him. i would like to have him as long as teh price is right.
I agree. 3rd is the max. getting 3 years out of him might be a stretch. But a wonderful mentor for celek he would be. his locker room leadership can help replace dawks.
well thats that. gonzalez is a falcoln…
(*&$# — Oh well, I’m confident with Celek.
