The Philadelphia Daily News reports that Chiefs president Carl Peterson said yesterday that it would have taken at least a second-round pick and probably more to get him to part with Tony Gonzalez . "All of them were talking about a second-day draft choice," Peterson said. "I told them that in my opinion, even at 32, Tony is as good as Jeremy Shockey. [If] you want to talk to me about something better than [what the Giants received for] Shockey, we'll talk. No one was willing to do that."No wonder a deal was not completed. Teams were reluctant to pay such a steep price for a 32-year-old tight end. Gonzalez was irritated when no deal got done but he has pledged to handle it like a professional and not let the matter effect his play.

The nine-time Pro Bowler admitted, however, he first felt "betrayed" that the Chiefs had not made a deal before the NFL trade deadline Tuesday. "Initially, yes," he said. "I thought, 'I can't believe this. It's a lie.' But then the more I think about it, the more I calm down." Gonzalez said he asked to meet with the other Chiefs to make sure the young players knew it's about "being the best football player you can be no matter what the situation is." [...]

It\'s winding down for me and this team is rebuilding. If they said from the get-go, \'No, we\'re not going to trade you,\' that would\'ve been better than how this whole thing unfolded. But that\'s not what happened.\" The Chiefs received two offers of a fourth-round draft pick each while another two offers came in for third-round picks. Gonzalez said he was told by Chiefs president and general manager Carl Peterson that a third-round pick would be enough for the team to move him.

Tony Gonzalez didn't get traded at the deadline, and he's not happy about it, according to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer. "I'm shocked," he said. "It didn't make sense not to do this deal. It's winding down for me and this team is rebuilding... Last night I talked to Carl (Peterson, Chiefs President and GM) and I point-blank asked him what it would take to get it done. I wanted to know if it could happen with a fourth (-round pick). He started talking about a second and a fifth like the Shockey deal. Nobody is going to trade a second for a 32-year-old tight end. All along Carl said he would do something that works for both parties. Then he talked about how he traded a third for Willie Roaf, and he made it pretty clear to me that's what was going to get it done. That was certainly fair. I know teams offered a third and in the end, Carl made the asking price a second. I'm very disappointed that he didn't go through with it after he told me he was going to try to make it happen. I've been around this league a long time, it's a business. There's nothing I can do about it. I was pissed off about it, but I'll get over it. I won't let it affect my play and my preparation."Gonzalez is right. A third-round pick in exchange for him would have made sense for the Chiefs and any of the teams the Chiefs were talking to. He's at least stated that he'll get over it and won't let his anger affect his play.

The Giants, Packers and Bills may have interest in acquiring tight end Tony Gonzalez, the Kansas City Star reports. The Chiefs and Giants have apparently talked but are far apart on compensation. The Giants offered a sixth-round pick, and the Chiefs asked for a third-round selection.By comparison, the Giants received second and fifth-round picks in exchange for Jeremy Shockey. Gonzalez's production versus his age (32) will make negotiations tricky, but some team should end up offering much more than a lowly sixth-round pick.

Gonzalez, the most productive tight end in NFL history, will be traded to a contender if the Kansas City Chiefs get the right price. Three people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity that the nine-time Pro Bowl player could be dealt before the Tuesday trade deadline.

Impacts: Gonzalez, who holds the NFL tight end record for receptions, touchdown catches and yards receiving, is active in civic and charitable affairs and enjoys great popularity in Kansas City. But the Chiefs are rebuilding from the bottom up and not likely to contend for the Super Bowl any time soon. In spite of all his personal accomplishments, Gonzalez, 32, has never even won a postseason game.
