It makes me sad because Gonzalez will still be a productive player in the NFL and is a known quantity compared to a draft pick.
It makes me more sad because he’s the last guy left who I really connect to as a fan of the Chiefs. Matt Cassel and Dwayne Bowe may be Montana and Rice for the next five years, but Tony, Trent and Priest were the guys I spent most of my time rooting for over the last ten years.
It has been hard to follow the Chiefs since Vermeil left, and I suppose a complete shake-up is called for, but it will be hard to let this one go. I will be a fan of the Atlana Falcons this year. Until they play the Chiefs.
As Seinfeld said, in the end, we just root for laundry.
