Question for the Forum

If Tony Gonzales decides he wants to play one more season, but not with Atlanta, should the Saints make an attempt to sign him?

A Sean Payton coached, Drew Brees led Saints team with Jimmy Graham, Ben Watson AND Tony Gonzales; (not sure if the Saints would carry 3 TEs)PLUS Colston, Moore, Meachem, Stills, Toon, PT and Sproles would be fairly formidable.

Not even for the minimum salary. We don't need no mercenaries and especially not former dirty birds. He'd probably bring the Falcons' losing/choking mentality with him anyway.

Absolutely not! The Falcons had to pay him 7 million this year and he wouldn't even come to the training camp...

That 7 million can be used for Grahams extension and besides Watson is a damn good second TE...

Re: Question for the Forum

Lofton has turned out to be a good trade from Atlanta so that part doesn't bother me. Gonzalez is an excellent player however he is 37 and Father Time is calling his number back in.

Re: Question for the Forum

If it was pre-Atlanta, I'd say 'yeah', but the disappointment of not retiring to win a SuperBowl this season and knowing already at Week 4 he's not gonna' accomplish that goal with Can'tlanta is going to be too much a burden on his psyche, IMO. .

Re: Question for the Forum

Are you that unhappy with what we have?

I just don't understand the rash of "if we could get x-bigname would you?" At TE especially.

That said, I don't sleep with the devil.... Nor do I have any sympathy for his lack of a SB ring. Especially when that devil has tortured us for years, and now that he is past his prime, we should give him a shot at a ring with a fleur-de-lis on it? Phuck Dat!

He brings nothing to the table over Graham or Watson.

Really! By the end of this season (the health gods be willing), we could have the two biggest TE names in the league. I say "Tony", you say "Who?"
