The Green Bay Packers came closest to making a deal before the trade deadline, [Carl] Peterson said, but their best offer — a third-round pick for a likely Hall of Famer — came with conditions about givebacks that he called "onerous." Other teams were merely bargain hunting; one offered a sixth-round pick, another a seventh-rounder.
"Am I going to do that for Tony Gonzalez?" Peterson said. "I think they would have hung me in Kansas City."

So ya just kept payin' him and watching the team crumble around him.
This apology for not trading Tony G says that King Carl probably was interested in moving him, and Pioli DID receive a 2nd-rounder for him.
I think, though, that Pioli has an easier time making deals, because he hasn’t been greedy. I think Carl showed enough greed enough times that it was tough for him to get a fair shake. Maybe I’m wrong…
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
