Trade Idea Taking Flight?

"Unimpressed by the Kansas City Chiefs' hiring of Scott Pioli as the new general manager, tight end Tony Gonzalez still wants a trade (Yahoo)."

Yesterday I put the idea out there of the Patriots trading Cassel to the Chiefs for a 2nd (or 3rd) round pick and Tony Gonzalez. Seems to be making even more sense today, since Tony wants a chance at a Super Bowl, and knows that he has no shot while playing for KC.

"It seems like we're rebuilding anyway, and I don't want to do that. I don't know that I want to do that any more than I already have been (ESPN)."

The Patriots may be able to find a better deal, but I am not as sold as many of our readers that there are going to be teams willing to give up 1st round picks for Cassel. Still, the chance of this happening is small, as there are a lot of teams interested in Tony Gonzalez's services including the Giants, Packers, and Bills. The Packers have already come out and offered a 3rd round pick for him. We'll keep you posted.
