Gonzalez hoped to be traded, later hinted at a return to Atlanta in 2014
 
Wickersham explains that Gonzalez decided he was definitely done a few days later, after Packers safety Morgan Burnett yelled, “F–k you! You ain’t sh-t!” to Gonzalez and none of his teammates came to Gonzalez’s defense.

That team has no heart.

We could use him for a year or two....could even mentor Grambeaux!

Just read another article on same topic
TG had a great year on a crap team, and is in awesome shape.
He did say he would consider coming back mid year to a contender. He might be pissed enough at ATL to join us cheaply

Great idea but I'm pretty sure Atlanta holds the rights to him. They'd have to let him go, probably through a trade. If they cut him, he'd go through waivers and there's no way he'd fall all the way to us before being picked up.

You are right- I thought Atl had only signed him for one year

As much as I like and respect the guy, I honestly think we have no use for him.

Gonzalez and Graham ? Add a true no 1 like Gordon were going to break every record that once thought of standing

maybe..I still don't see a use for him.

seriously? as much as we line JG outside I'd love to have a true TE.
I hope we draft a TE and put Jimmy wide every down. Could we use the best TE ever who still has gas in the tank? Yes

Tony Gonzalez is a terrible blocker... He isn't a "true" tight end any more than Jimmy is.

There's something to think about.....

He also said in that interview that Matt Ryan is not an elite QB. LOL

Where's Caddieman?

Even the players on that team are fair weather LOL. An elite QB makes the players around him better. That contract they gave ol' noodle arm will be the albatross around their neck.
