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.

Re: Question for the Forum
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. |
