Tony Gonzalez Trade Update: Buffalo Bills Offer A 3rd Round Pick
Reports are now saying that the Buffalo Bills have now offered a 3rd round pick for Tony Gonzalez.
From the Buffalo Bills official blog:
- With NFC East rivals Philadelphia and the NY Giants in the running for Tony Gonzalez’s services via trade it could drive up the price for the perennial Pro Bowl tight end. WarpaintIllustrated.com, a team outfit under the Scout.com umbrella is reporting that the Bills have offered a third-round pick for Gonzalez.
Meanwhile they’re reporting that the Giants are willing to offer more than their original offer of a 6th round selection. If Philadelphia and the Giants start competing with one another naturally the asking price goes up, which could make things more difficult for a team like Buffalo if they are in fact a part of these trade talks, which has not been confirmed by One Bills Drive to this point.
If nothing else this should start the bidding war for the services of our great, future Hall of Fame Tight End. I still stand by what I said before: I would absolutely HATE to see Tony Gonzalez go to another team, but he if does the Chiefs better make sure they get something worthwhile for him, don’t just give him away for the sake of it. Yeah, he is a little old but if he can turn your team into a legit Super Bowl contender (or favorite) for a year or two, how can you put a price tag on that?

THANK YOU KANSAS CITY!!!!!!!!! CALL YOU FROM TAMPA!
This is the first I’ve heard of any action on Gonzo since the story came out a couple days ago. I’ll still be surprised if anything gets done in less than 6 hours, but I do think it would probably be best for the team to get what value they can out of him now. Best of luck either way Tony!
