Its obvious that Atlanta needs more defense to make them a favorite this coming year – so if he wants too much money, he will risk Atlanta not being able to better their D.

I don’t think they will reach the SB – honestly Seattle will beat them next year in a rematch. So while money may not be a consideration – I think the ring is.
I think’t the best spots for him next year are
1. Denver
2. Seattle
3.Atlanta

HOF’er regardless!

When Tony was on the block at the deadline in 2008, he wanted to go to Green Bay and did not want to go to Atlanta who also had made an offer. Basically there was a done deal, and then Carl Peterson tried to up the ante right at the deadline, and the deal fell through.

Honestly I’d dump Finley in the last year of his contract for one year with Gonzales. I don’t hate Finley as much as the average Packer fan, but I think Tony is more reliable at moving the sticks which is what the Packers need.

How difficult is the concept of “if the headline of an article doesn’t interest you, don’t click the link”? You know, the reason stuff like this gains so much traction and gets reported on with such frequency is because people are clicking the links.

Too bad the NYG couldn’t make it happen when TG wanted to be traded there in his last days with KC. Now’s a good a time as any. Put him on a 2x SB winner and he just might finally get his chance. Heck with that moribund NFC South. What a snoozer of a division.

It’s either he retires or comes back and play with the Falcons (only).

BTW…I knew this would happen with Gonzalez. It happens everytime a player late in their career ALMOST makes the SB but falls short. He’ll come back.

The same would’ve happened to Lewis as well if the Ravens didn’t win it all. I bet he would’ve came back for “one last run”.

How much has he earned over the course of his career, and isn’t that enough, to get out in one piece. I say he earned every dime unlike a lot of players.

I must honestly say I’m tired of Tony G and his every season I might retire talk. Dude just retire on top. If you’re 95% retired, then your heart can’t be totally into it. The Falcons are nowhere near a lock for the super bowl with a way tougher schedule this year and losing to each team in the division who well only be stronger, especially perennial top dog New Orleans. suppose you don’t even win a playoff game next season? Then what?

Go out while you are still healthy, he’s one hit away from having a badddd retirement. Hope his wife persuades him to call it a day instead of getting greedy. He’s gonna wish he had left on his own terms. There are more important things in life other than winning championships, like family. Besides, the Falcons aren’t going anywhere, really.

However, if a team that’s close to a championship like Denver, Houston, Seattle, SF, Green Bay offered him a decent deal PLUS a chance at a ring, then I think he’d consider it.

Everytime Matt was in a pickle..Gonzalez bailed him out…Try $7 million Tony…you deserve it…No home town discounts when the Falsons will be watching the 49ers and Seahawks playing in the playooffs for years to come while the Falcons will be eating popcorn in their couches if Tony Gonzalez doesn’t come back.
