Michael Lombardi from the National Football Post is reporting that the Atlanta Falcons are seriously considering a trade for Chiefs Pro-Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez, and have offered up a 2nd round pick (#55 overall) to secure his services.
The Chiefs were close to moving Gonzalez last season right at the trade deadline to the New York Giants, but got cold feet at the last minute and called off the deal. Gonzalez is going into his 13th season in the NFL and wants to play for a contender and realizes that the Chiefs are a few years away from that, a few years he may not have left.
The move makes sense as Justin Peelle, the Falcons top tight end target from 2008, caught only 15 passes for 159 yards and 2 touchdowns in 16 games last season.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez is coming off another Pro Bowl season in which he hauled in 96 receptions for 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns.
