TT Sniffing around Gonzalez??

[Fritz]

why do people get their hopes up?

TT won't do this, but if he can get him for a 5th, I would try it. TE is a tough position to just pick up a new offense, and I doubt he would be as effective for the Packers. That said, he is a great veteran player who could perhaps learn quickly - but it would still take some time.

Keith Jackson helped once upon a time.

Once upon a time we had a dominating defense, a great run offense and a good passing offense. KJ really helped the passing offense. The Pack of today has an okay defense, a great passing offense, and a poor running game. Not the same circumstance at all.

Okay, this is bugging me: the previous page mentions a news source as saying the Chiefs want a second and a fifth for Gonzalez. I've read elsewhere that they want what the Giants got for Schockey - what was that, a second?

Okay - so that's the word that's out there. Next thing you know on this thread, people are bitching about TT - all the Giants want is a low second day pick and TT won't even give up a fifth rounder! Damn him and his love of draft picks!

So when did the asking price for Gonzalez become a fifth rounder? Why is the scenario now that Gonzalez can be had for a mere fifth or sixth?

Is this just an excuse to bash TT for something he - in reality - couldn't do? This is like getting mad at the guy because he hasn't solved the financial market crisis. I heard if he'd trade a fourth rounder to Washington the whole crisis would be solved, and TT is so cheap he won't do it. Bastard!

But it would be fun!!!!

I wasnt saying were going to be playing in February, but help is help. Gonzo would be a plus , I think we can agree on that.

ya, to fill in a little extra piece.

Gonzalez is a terrible fit for the Packers. They have young recievers on the rise, maybe even at TE, and this is not a super bowl year.

Wouldnt Gonzo as a threat free up more man on our WR's?

just like my dad

Sure, any team can use more good players. HE's a good player.

But he costs a roster spot, playing time lost to younger players, salary cap, a lost draft pick. All of which would be worth it if the Packers had an offensive line and defensive line ready for prime time.

We are ready! I mean .500 after six games we only need to squeek in the playoffs and then rule them all! I mean look at the G.I.Ants!

The Giants are not starting JErmemy Thompson at DE.

The Giants have an O-line.

Not to inject politics or anything, but I was against getting Gonzales before I was for it.

Earlier, the talk was first round pick or more for Gonzales. Now, it's down to a 5th, give or take. For that, I would expect Thompson to be interested, and I'd be very much OK with that.

Two other new factors:

The mediocre start for the team makes an upgrade a slightly higher priority, and the specific mediocre play of Donald Lee compared to last year would make getting Gonzales relatively more of an upgrade.

So go ahead, Ted. You got my permission. I'd say no higher than a 4th rounder, though.
