afl0226 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 ""No, nada, nothing, zero," Peterson said, from the fall owners meetings, when asked if he had any possible deals for some of his high-priced veterans. TE Tony Gonzalez, RB Larry Johnson and CB Patrick Surtain have all been rumored to be on the trading block for the Chiefs, who are in rebuilding mode.

Coach Tuesday Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Typical Peterson. This won't end well for him. He's going to lose his job, probably at the end of this season, when ownership realizes all he's produced is an uncompetitive team without a QB, and that he left good deals on the table that would have improved the franchise because of his gigantic ego.

Peter Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Peterson is supposed to be a very tough negotiator (e.g., the Chiefs' negotiations with the Dolphins re Trent Green a couple of years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs had an opportunity to improve their franchise. haha - you serious? they were shopping him around as a FAVOR to a player who has shown them a lot of commitment the last decade.......they weren't going to send him somewhere he had no interest in playing..........slapping a star player in the face would hurt peterson a lot more then passing on a trade because the one team that gonzo wants to go to won't give them something decent for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get quoted as saying "no comment". He said there is absolutely no deal. Thats not tipping his hand...that's definitive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 As great as it would be for our team to have landed gonzalez. We're back to changing nothing. Still need a threat at te as we have none. Still need pass rushers as we still only have 1 and he's injured. Still need a center. Maybe a guard, defensive tackles, and an olb. For a team who's close but not quite there yet. Someone like gonzo would've helped put a major band aid on one of those wounds, and given us a legit threat to take pressure off evans for a change. While Hardy adapts to playing wideout in the pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs are rebuilding, it's obvious. Gonzalez isn't gonna help them win a championship - that ship has sailed. And what kind of "favor" is it if he's only "allowing" them to shop to one team? They would save face by citing the public comments by Gonzo that he wanted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
