Chiefs to keep Gonzalez, other vets

By Jason Cole

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson gave every indication that his team will not be making a deal in the final hours before the NFL trade deadline of 4 p.m. ET, Tuesday.

"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.

Several teams have expressed interest in Gonzalez, including the Bills, Giants and Eagles, according to published reports. However, none may be willing to meet Peterson's price tag of a third-round draft pick.

Peterson is among the executives who expressed doubt in making a deal happen.

"The phone is working," Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen said. "But it's like always, there's a lot of talk and that's it."

"Same as most years," Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian said.

    Carl Peterson is smoking crack as usual if he thinks he can get a 3rd round pick. As a chiefs fan, Tony Gonzalez has long been loyal to the organization, and Carl should have done the respectable thing and honored his request, we all want to see Tony get a ring, and thats obviously not happening with the chiefs in the few years he has left. Several teams would've given up a 4th rounder for him, but as usual, Carl's greed got in the way of his morals.

    Listen, I like watching Tony G play for the Chiefs. But this rebuilding thing won't be done in his career, possibly even his LIFETIME - someone out there MAKE A DEAL FOR HIM! Let's see him win a title !!!!

    damn - giants should have nabbed him. 3rd rounder would be totally worth it.
    what a waste of talent i he stays in KC - they are nowhere near competing at a high level...or any level.

    A 3rd round draft pick...that's it??? That's all the Chiefs wanted? I dont't think that's too much and I dont see why the Giants couldn't have made that happen, especially for someone who would produce immediately. Personally, I think he would have looked great on the other side of the line opposite Dallas Clark, but oh well...

    The Chiefs are asking for a second round pick which is ridiculous as I wouldn't trade a 1st round pick for guys like Antonio Gates or Jason Witten. A third rounder is all it should take, please Buffalo bring him in.

    This so called "rebuilding" in Kansas City isn't going to take place as long as Carl Peterson is at the helm, for several years now, KC has been in more of a "regression" period, we gradually get worse, but only one thing is constant, Carl Peterson, who now forces one of the organization's most beloved players to stay for the rest of this miserable season.

    Although I would be happy to see Gonz go to a Super Bowl contender and win the big one, I feel it is great too that he will remain a Chief and hopefully finish out his career here.
    But, I think Larry "soon the Pacman" Johnson should have been offered up. More run ins with the law!! This guy might end up seeing some suspensions soon, not the best investment. Although his recent assault charge seems a bit bogus to me (He pushed a chick away from him according the reports I have read), I wouldn't be surprised if Goodwell starts paying a lot of attention to him.
    Someone I would like to see the Chiefs go after is D. Anderson of the Browns. Good young player that could develop into a Franchise QB and do some great stuff. The browns are doing much to support him this year (can they catch a ball??) and they have Brady Quinn up there, that is probably the most popular back up QB ever. People in Clevland are dying for a Quinn, and KC is dying for a solid starter!!!
    KC, Get someone like D.A!!!

    Im not gonna post first, but I am gonna talk about not posting first and say nothing about the article, Kudos. TG should be a Giant right now. We could always sign him for a retirement term later on. The Giants got a second and a fifth for Shockey and they won't give up a third for TG. You get a 2 & 5 for a whiny A$$ but wont give up a 3 for HOFer
