-- Should the Patriots Sign Tony Gonzalez? --
Thu Jan 23, 2014 --from FFMastermind.com

The Boston Globe reports the Patriots didn’t get a chance to replace TE Aaron Hernandez since he was arrested and kicked off the team in July, well after the draft and free agency period. And finding at least one tight end is imperative now that the injuries are starting to add up with TE Rob Gronkowski, who is an All Pro when he’s on the field but can’t seem to stay healthy. A few decent veterans could be available in free agency — TE Brandon Pettigrew and TE Scott Chandler among them — but in our view, the perfect addition would be TE Tony Gonzalez, the 14-time Pro Bowler. Yes, he will soon be 38, but he caught 83 passes for 859 yards and eight touchdowns this year and clearly has gas left in the tank. A combination of Gonzalez and Gronkowski would be absolutely devastating, and he would be a great veteran addition to the locker room. Gonzalez has said he will retire after this season, but he never reached a Super Bowl, so let’s see how he feels in August when training camps start heating up. HC Bill Belichick should tell Gonzalez he can train on his own in the offseason, and show up to training camp in the third week of August. You make special rules to bring in a player of Gonzalez’s caliber.

This could easily happen.....then watch Atlanta get back on track and get there.

It wasn't Atlanta that was the issue. It was Gonzo saying all along he is done after this year. He only came back due to the fact Atlanta really thought they had a chance to make it to the Superbowl.

i am betting he is done

 

[mudloggerone]

Done here.

 

[jjtweeks]

I know Atlanta wasn't the issue, other than sucking this year. All I mean is it would be his luck to come back on the Pats and then have Atlanta regroup and have a Super Bowl run.

 

[mudloggerone]

That's what he did this past season showing up the last week of training.

 

[Miller]

Yeah, I think he's done.

Hes done that, did it this year with ATL. No, he really didn't want to play that much this year, I don't think NE is anymore guarantee of a title than any other team next year.

Put a fork in him

He was just on TV with Glazer.

Sounds done to me

(01/26/14) Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez said before the Pro Bowl that he's "totally at peace" with his decision to retire after 17 seasons and that he's looking forward to life after football.

Interesting speculation from rotoworld.

"
Tony Gonzalez told ESPN's Doug Gottlieb on Friday that he would be open to returning to the Falcons if they open the season with a 10-0 record.

Gonzalez was obviously joking, but he's clearly not given up completely on the idea of playing ball in 2014, hinting at a return twice over the last week. Perhaps by the time training camp starts, the "itch" to play will resurface and Gonzalez will turn in another full year. If Gonzo was dropped in Dynasty leagues, go grab him. He's shaping up as 50:50 to truly retire this offseason. "

Tony Gonzalez has been hired by CBS as an NFL Today studio analyst.
