DIE HARD 1967 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Only 3 teams were willing to offer a 3rd rounder AND Buffalo was one of the teams Look, he is going to go somewhere, I think the Buffalo possibility is real. If we are going to talk about trades, We know Buffalo had some interest in Tony Gonzalas. The rumors started by the KC press that he didn't want to come to Buffalo are nothing more then that, RUMORS Perhaps some draft day maneuvering by both teams with draft picks and or players. Until Tony Gonzalas is traded, Buffalo is still in the game. DIE HARD 1967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't place to much into those comments He simply made a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't place to much into those comments He simply made a mistake Seems to me like he did not make a mistake. Not move your family and miss the playoffs or move to beautiful Buffalo and miss the playoffs... At 5-1... Seems like he made the right move.

WVUFootball29 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 TG would be a great short term fix to our TE woes. However, he controls his own destiny here and will go where he feels he'll best be utilized. I don't think he wants to break in another rookie QB, which I believe was part of the reason he wanted out in the first place. I wouldn't be suprised to see him land with a team like Miami, NE, Arizona, Carolina, perhaps the Titans if Collins is named the starter in 09.

He clearly wants out, and with Tony Gonzalas maybe we make the playoffs. Its crazy to ignore the posibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 DUDES!!! Stop the fantasy insanity. Get real. Let it go. Gonzales does not want to, and will not, play for the Bills.... period, end of discussion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'd rather get James Casey with our 3rd, or Chase Coffman, or Cornelius Ingram, or another YOUNG player because TG is not the missing piece to our SB puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to talk about trades, We know Buffalo had some interest in Tony Gonzalas. Perhaps some draft day maneuvering by both teams with draft picks and or players. DIE HARD 1967 I was pulling real hard for Alge Crumpler or Gonzals, two TE's we had made a play for last season, but after seeing how much Crumpler's game had slipped from what it used to be last season, in my opinion we don't need to sink millions of dollars into someone who is at the end of their career. We need to draft a TE or if we go FA, we need someone younger who can grow with the team. I will admit though DIE HARD, if we landed Gonzalaz I'm sure I would start looking at the positives and be pretty excited about having a good TE after all these years. Veteran leadership is much needed, Gonzalaz could really help with that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veteran leadership is much needed, Gonzalaz could really help with that aspect. I look at 3 different items #1 Is there a need? #2 Did Buffalo show interest? #3 Is he still available and at what cost? And would this sell tickets? Ralph clearly needs to do something All I am saying is...lets not count it out completely, it actually makes sense for the Bills Derek Fine can develop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnbillsbacker Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think now that KC has a new gm, there is a good possibility for a trade. The old gm Peterson, was a difficult guy to trade with with. He always asked for more than fair compensation. As for now, I wonder if Tony is still worth a 3rd round pick. Last season, we were leading the division at the trade deadline. Tony was the type of guy the bills were hoping could help them maintain their lead. Getting an extra 11 games out of Gonzalez would have made the trade worth it. Those 11 games however, are gone. I'd offer a 4th and 5th and see what happens.

Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I still beg the question: Why would Tony Gonzales want to play in Buffalo? I mean really why would any HOF player who wants to win a championship want to come to a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 10 years, blew a 5-1 start only to finish last in their division, hasn't changed any coaching personnel, plays 1 "home" game in Canada, has no experienced QB, has only 1 other receiving threat... Yada Yada Yada. You realize TG has to approve the trade right? Give me 3 reasons that outweigh all of the above factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
