ESPN reports: Bills in Gonzo Derby

[Meathead]

a poster at bbi is reporting that espn is reporting ... ah hell, here it is

Per ESPN. No link because I saw it on television.

Tony Gonzalez wants to be traded to a contender but the Chiefs are looking for the right deal. Trade deadline in Tuesday. The Bills have expressed interest!

This would be huge addition to the Bills and help in TrEd's development. Young quarterbacks need a go to tight end. Please One Bill's Drive, get this done.

i got yelled at last time i posted a link so youre on your own

even at 80% of classic gonzo youd have to consider the bills a top afc offense contender by the end of the season if that happened

JP and a sixth round draft pick sounds fair to me.

JP, Royal, McCargo, Fowler & a large rye bread (Woody Allen reference)

Though there are no links to any written stories on their website, ESPN News (TV) is reporting that the Bills are one of several teams “known to have inquired about” Kansas City TE Tony Gonzalez. According to ESPN News the asking price is starting at a 1st round pick “and change.” The network did not attribute their report to any of their NFL beat reporters.
Gonzalez has been reportedly interested in making a move to a contending team as the Chiefs are in full blown rebuilding mode. The perennial Pro Bowl tight end is signed through 2011 at reasonable base salaries for a player of his caliber ($1M in ‘08, $4M in ‘09, $4.5M in ‘10, $5.75M in ‘11), though $17M of his most recent contract in guaranteed and could include some of the base salaries listed above.
A first-round pick and then some is a lot to surrender, but Gonzalez has been one of the most durable tight ends in the league and at 32 likely has at least two more productive seasons in him.
We’ll do our best to keep you updated on the possibility of Gonzalez being moved by the Chiefs prior to the Tuesday trade deadline. The Eagles are another team that has been mentioned as a possible landing spot for Gonzalez as well as the Giants.

Re: Rumor Central: Bills in Gonzo Derby

was the extra third the bills ended up with used this last draft or this coming one? i think we spent it but im not positive

Re: Rumor Central: Bills in Gonzo Derby

No way I would give a 1st. or even 2nd...If he was 5 years younger than it's a no-brainer but not at 32...A third is the highest I would go...
