No Tony G
The Packers will not be getting tight-end Tony Gonzalez.

The Packers will not be getting tight-end Tony Gonzalez.
Even after expressing all that interest last year. According to the NFL, he is now a Falcon.
I think we totally dropped the ball on this one. Sorry, that's just what I think. Sigh.

There should be crying. It's a 2nd for next year. By your reasoning, that would be a 2/32 so it should have been done.

Well Matt Ryan has a 2-3 Year Backup Valve, but then again who knows if Ryan is really that good or it was just a prelude to a sophmore slump. So in terms for our Pack, it either means that Ted is content with Lee, Humprey, and Finley or he is looking into the 2nd day for a possible 4th (dunno if we have Haynos) TE to fight for 3 availible spots.
Either way you look at it, Jay Cutler still sucks.

I think KC came out on top of this deal. Plus TT values his draft picks WAY too much to give up a 2nd for a guy that has at the very best 3 years left, more likely 1 or 2.

Would have been a nice addition, but did we really need him?
Nope.
I have faith in the combination of Lee, Finley and probably a new face at TE...
Aaron and MM need first learn how to utilize the TE before we spend 5 million plus on one.
IMO.. not that big of a non move.

Gotta agree with Pack93z. We don't even have a starting nose tackle that can play three downs in a row, outside linebacker is still iffy, cornerbacks are getting older every day. My sister has a shot at starter at offensive tackle.
And everyone wants a TE?

Wow. Didn't thought about that. 2nd round for a TE that only has 2 years left is too much, but your point makes so much sense. We should've made this trade.

It would've been cool if Ted had pulled the trigger on that deal. Gonzalez, Jennings, and Driver. But a second rounder is a high price for a player near the end of his career, so I can't say I blame Ted for refusing the deal.
