Congrats to BigWoof, lol and I know Hartsock is the blocking TE but will this pickup affect him?

Great move for Atlanta, takes Pettigrew out of the mix and allows the front office to concentrate on the defensive front 7. I expect DT Peria Jerry to be the pick if he is still available.

Wow, the chances of a Ryan sophomore slump just went down dramatically. Good front office move.

Tampa Bay gave Cleveland a #2 this year and #5 next year for Winslow and all Atlanta has to give up is a #2 for Gonzalez. I don't know who is more stupid Kansas City for giving him up for only a #2 or Tampa Bay for giving the Browns so much for Winslow.

Winslow is also about a decade younger. Much better long term investment, and thus a price.

A rebuilding team getting a 2nd round pick for a 33 year old tight end doesn't seem all that stupid to me.

Gonzalez's numbers from last year. This with Tyler Thigpen and the Chuckle-Fuck twins throwing to him and with Herm Edwards as the coach.

96 catches, the 3rd most of his career.
1058 yards, 4th most.
10 TD?s, 2nd most.
6 catches pg, 3rd most.
66 yards pg, 3rd most.
Also he has fumbled once in the last 9 years.

Lots of miles left on him. At least three strong years.
