If they could have stolen him for a 6th rounder, fine. Otherwise we do not need to start getting older, and overpaid. I have no complaints about the way this season is going, but if someone really thinks that lack of production out of the TE position is something to get worried about, the answer is more targets - not a different target.

If only the Saints had waited a little, they could have had Gonzalez instead of Shockey. I am not sure how much of an impact Tony Gonzalez would make in our offense. Gilbride does not use the TE much. The TE mostly blocks in our offense, with the surprise pass rout that catches the defense with their pants down. Reese should give up a fourth rounder for sure.

Another thing is his $$ Due. I hear he is only making 1 mil this year but it escalates to $4M in 2009, 4.5 in 2010 and then in 2011 it jumps up to $5.75M. i know we can always cut him but thats a nice piece off the cap. Not sure how it would affect the signing of Jacobs and our other young FAs. a 4 sounds fair seeing as he is 32 years old and has 10 plus years in the league.

Maybe not worth a 3, but i'd definitely give a 4 and a 5/6. If the best we can offer is a 6th rounder for Tony G, then i’ll be very upset. Maybe not worth a 3, but i’d definitely give a 4 and a 5/6.

I wonder if Eli would be intimidated by him but deep down I believe Eli is on another level now. I do believe the G-Men hold the Saints 2nd rounder. Its possible Jerry Reese could trade the pick he got for Shockey to KC for Gonzalez. Giants should inquire about Gonzalez, he would fit like a glove with this team on offense.

On top of his obvious talent, Gonzalez would be a huge asset in the red zone, where we still have trouble. Probably wont happen, but this would be a BIG move.
