Tony Gonzalez Says He Has One More Year In Him

Photo

Tony Gonzalez, former Kansas City Chief and current Atlanta Falcons tight end, says the 2012 season will be his last before he retires.

TG did a chat with ESPN.com and was asked about when he might hang 'em up.

"One year. I said that last year though, and the year before. But I really do believe this is it. First of all, this is the first time my wife came to me and said, ‘You're only going to play one more year, right?"

Yeah he's said it before. We'll see if it's true.

But look at his production -- 875 receiving yards and seven touchdowns last season. This is the "year of the tight end" but those numbers are still really, really good.

Good enough, in fact, that SB Nation Atlanta wrote that he would go down as one of the two or three best tight ends in team history, despite just a few seasons in Atlanta.

Here's the video to his chat.

I know he wanted to move to a contender

But man I wish this man would have ended his career as a Chief. He’s a great guy form what I’ve heard

I think he will sign a 1 day contract to retire as a Chief

Thats what he said once upon a time anyway.

Do we go fetal and beg for mercy? Or do we pick up that broken piece of pipe laying on the ground and come up swinging? I choose pipe.

I'd Bet He Will

Going to the Falcons was only a marriage of convenience…he just wanted a shot at a ring.

by UCrawford on Feb 2, 2012 1:10 PM CST up reply actions  

Shot?

NE, NY, PIT, N.O., perhaps….heck even Indy at that time.

The year they sent him to Atl though, they looked like they could contend

Ryan was coming on strong, they had a good offense and defense. I think they had made the playoffs the year before and he was supposed to be one of the pieces to help push them over the edge into legitimacy.

Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.

and then Ryan started falling apart

and they threw the bank to get Julio Jones instead of trying to use picks to get more defensive players

I didn’t understand why getting beat down offensively by the Packers so badly in the playoffs = get a stud WR

A little late for that.

He already signed a new contract with the Falcons.

yes its been a great run for tony g the guy helped win alot of games for kc

too bad during the marty years we didn’t get it done in the playoffs.

will the chiefs ever draft a Qb in the first round, not since todd blackledge in 83. and the chiefs could of had marino. OH well atleast 65 toss power trap worked for KC, it should be wide open red. Hank stram still the man.

Exactly

He did not want to be a Chief anymore, so I do not see why we have to discuss him everytime he is in the news.

At least I can still hate the stinking Raiders!

by Chiefs1 on Feb 2, 2012 12:48 PM CST up reply actions  

He did want to be a Chief his whole career

But when your the best of all time at your position and you haven’t even won a playoff game and you’ve been through 4 rebuilds, it’s time to move on. Plus he didn’t want to play for Todd Haley.

by KcChiefsMo on Feb 2, 2012 12:52 PM CST up reply actions  

He Made The Playoffs This Year

And Todd Haley got fired. So I guess it worked out pretty well.

by UCrawford on Feb 2, 2012 1:10 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah, and he's got the same playoff record for wins with the Falcons the Chiefs have without him

Best move Pioli made coming here. A 2nd rounder for TG.

No.

TG wanted to leave…demanded it actually after signing a contract with the Chiefs.

Richardson left because his contract wasn’t renewed.

but at the time the Chiefs were nowhere and he wanted a ring, he was on the last 2years of his career at the time and wanted a shot

by tomachop on Feb 2, 2012 1:17 PM CST up reply actions  

I Don't Blame Tony G. For Leaving

Sorry, but he was 100% correct…Todd Haley was a horrible coach who had zero chance of taking the Chiefs to a Super Bowl. The only reason he got one winning season was because of one of the easiest schedules in the NFL (while playing in one of the weakest conferences) combined with his boss doing him a favor by not letting him be OC. The Falcons may not have won a playoff game, but they were a better team than we were.

by UCrawford on Feb 2, 2012 4:21 PM CST up reply actions  

agreed.

13-3 im their conference says it all.

by Eastcoastransplant on Feb 2, 2012 6:13 PM CST up reply actions  

Tony Richardson didn't whine like a bitch to leave.

“Oh, I want to win a playoff game, wah wah wah” He had just as good a chance of doing so here than he did in Atl.

by Chiefs447 on Feb 2, 2012 1:15 PM CST up reply actions  

I disagree with that one

Atl had a budding QB and and more pieces in place. We had Hurad, Thigy or Croyle and 6-26 in two years. He definitely did not have as good a chance of winning her than he did there.

by Eastcoastransplant on Feb 2, 2012 1:30 PM CST up reply actions  

unless somethimg amazing happens next year and the Falcons find a way to beat the Saints, Packers, 49ers, etc.

Then no, he didn’t have a better chance in ATL

Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl

by PVChiefsfan on Feb 2, 2012 1:42 PM CST up reply actions  

So he didn't have a better shot by....you know actually being in the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years?

Got to get to the playoffs before you can win a playoff game.

And I could argue if I was a foot taller that I'd be dominating the post in the league

ATL went 13-3 last year and have been clearly closer than KC for the last 4 years

Agreed

There’s no real comparison between the Chiefs and Falcons over the last three years…the Falcons were a better team and gave him a better chance at a ring. It may not have worked out for Gonzalez, but it wasn’t a bad gamble on his part.

The guy wanted to win and didn’t see it happening here. Considering that the Chiefs didn’t beat a single 10 win team with Todd Haley in charge, I can’t really blame him for wanting out.

He wanted to leave so he could “win a ring”. Well why not keep trying here? I understand if you’re pissed at the front office (like Jared Allen) but just because you want to be on a better team? Sorry about the cards you were dealt but get over it and do your best to make this team better. It’s not like he was guaranteed anything by leaving, as has been proven over the last few years.

We always talk about how this is a business. And players are dealt away cuz of that. No hard feelings.

Well if I am a damn good player – and nobody is arguing perhaps the best ever at my position, and I have but a few years left, AND I’ve bee on a team that isn’t going to the big game any time soon, well then I too would want to be giving myself the best shot at that ring. It’s why football players play right? For the all elusive dream of winning a SB. I don’t begrudge him that. He did a lot of time here. Most players don’t start and end with the team that drafted them.

It's Never One Player Who's The Reason A Team Does Or Doesn't Make It

Tony G. wasn’t the reason we didn’t get in…no sense in penalizing him for Peterson not putting a good team around him. He’s the Dan Marino of the Chiefs (albeit at a less important position than QB).

Really UC?

Two words:

LIN ELLIOTT

and no, I’m not afraid of saying his name folks ;)

If Paul Hackett Hadn't Underutilized Marcus Allen

Maybe Elliott is never in a position to blow all of those field goals because we score TDs. Allen was getting great yardage against a horrible Colts run D. But Hackett decided to go pass heavy and play to the Colts’ only defensive strength.

But Yes

Linn Elliott sucked. I hated it when the Chiefs signed him because he was a terrible kicker for Dallas, which is why Jimmy Johnson cut him. His decent regular season for the Chiefs was a fluke. But still, I blame Paul Hackett for that game as much as Elliott. More, actually, since Hackett’s play calling kept limiting us to field goal attempts.

He'll say the same thing again next year, I'd bet on it.

As far as him signing a one day contract and retiring a Chief? Don’t see that happening at all. There’s no one left here who has any loyalty to him. Except the fans. Or some of them, I should say.

My earliest Chiefs memories are watching guys named Dawson, Podolak, Taylor, Thomas, Bell, and Buchanan. So, yeah...I'm kind of an old fart.

by Scott B. on Feb 2, 2012 2:02 PM CST reply actions  

I don't see the point in the whole one day contract thing.

If they want to bring him back for a ceremony at some point, fine. But they don’t need a one day contract to do that.

I'm sure the Giants would've been happy to have him in 2012

using his term, yes ... wife

semantics, I suppose … like calling Tyler Palko a “quarterback” … or perhaps a judgment call :-)

I still like him

thought he was,..still think he was one of he best in Chiefs history. Name abetter TE in chiefs lore

by tomachop on Feb 2, 2012 2:05 PM CST reply actions  

No doubt

I thank him for his years of service. I really enjoyed watching him play. But, my own personal loyalty to #88 ended when he left left the team. Don’t wish him bad…or good, actually.

Can't believe anyone is dogging on Tony G

Not quit in my 30s yet, so I don’t know about the old time ballers. But Tony G is clearly one of the greatest Chiefs I’ve ever witnessed. Him and Derrick Thomas are on top of the KC mountain in my eyes.

Played in a bowl game and a Sweet 16 game in the same year at my alma mater. And I believe this year was his 12th Pro Bowl. Also, he has lost 2 fumbles in his entire career.

Fool is a legend in my eyes.

I agree

What he did the what little talent he had at QB is incredible. He is the greatest TE of all time and there is no number 2

They're Upset Because He Demanded A Trade And Left

And I can understand why that would upset people. But I also get why Gonzalez did it and considering the last three years, I don’t think he was wrong if he wanted to win a Super Bowl.

by UCrawford on Feb 3, 2012 6:56 AM CST up reply actions  

I totaly understand

I would demand to get out of town to with those QB’s he had

It sucks he's not going to win a ring

Matt ryan is the most overrated player I have seen in the last 5 years. All that talent and he can’t even win a playoff game

Ryan Is Overrated

But the biggest problem with that team is that Michael Turner is even more overrated and after they broke him 3 years ago he isn’t getting it done in the tough games. Unfortunately for the Falcons, they broke him in year one of a big contract.
