Football Tony Gonzalez to the ATL

[HiEnd]

The Kansas City Chiefs have traded Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2010 second-round draft pick, according to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com.

This marks the first trade between former New England Patriots colleagues Scott Pioli, the Chiefs’ General Manager, and Thomas Dimitroff, Falcons’ General Manager.

Ironically, Gonzalez rejected a trade to Atlanta last year.

Now, though, the Falcons have an established young quarterback in Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan Happy
Matt Cassel Sad

Great pickup for Atlanta. They should be nasty this year. Fair trade, he's not young but Gonzalez still has some playing time left. And had a ProBowl year last year with bad QBs.

Falcons could make a real run depending on how they draft on defense this weekend....They lost 5 defensive starters, that they have to replace.
