The two teams are still haggling over what draft pick the Eagles will be trading. The Eagles are willing to trade a third-round pick for Gonzalez, the Chiefs are looking for a second-round draft pick.
Pro Football Talk reports that the Eagles and Falcons also have interest in Oklahoma State tight end Brandon Pettigrew.

So much for that. Jay Glazer at Fox Sports reports that the Chiefs have agreed to a deal to send Tony Gonzalez to the Atlanta Falcons for a second-round pick in the 2010 draft.

Vinny DiTrani on his blog for The Record reports that the Giants were willing to offer their first-round pick (No. 31) for Falcons CB DeAngelo Hall, but according to sources backed off when the Falcons wanted RB Danny Ware as well.
When the Giants refused to offer Ware, Atlanta came back with a request for the No. 1 and OL Grey Ruegamer instead, but by then the Giants got cold feet over the hit Hall would put on their salary cap.
