Posted October 13, 200816 yr comment_712949 Word around the league is that the Chiefs want to make a rare in season trade to unload Tony G. Would you trade Chad for Tony? Yes, yes, I know it will never happen. We all know the Bengals run a vanilla front office. (haha?) But if you were the Bengals GM that does not exist, would you do it? If so, do you think the Chiefs would bite or would they want more?

October 13, 200816 yr comment_712951 Not in a million years would I do that. Tony is aging and would only help us for a couple of seasons. This season is lost already, so this season would be a complete waste to have him. If they trade Chad, they will need draft picks for him and with his performance this year, it won't be near what was offered in the offseason.

October 13, 200816 yr comment_712954 I strongly believe Utecht is unused, not incapable. I would not make the trade.

Gonzo's about 2 years from retiring, if that. [quote name='mongo' post='712954' date='Oct 13 2008, 11:51 AM']I strongly believe Utecht is unused, not incapable.

Clearly.[/quote] well 1) Chad's got nowhere to walk to. I'm all for trading Chad, but its got to either be for draft picks, or for a player at a position of need, which TE isn't.
October 13, 200816 yr comment_712967 ESPN reported TONY asked to be traded to a team that was in CONTENTION. That certainly is NOT the Bengals. Besides we already signed a CATCHING TE. :rofl:

October 13, 200816 yr comment_713010 seems rather lopsided... id prefer to trade ochoc for high picks and keep utecht, id rather palmer be throwing 4 yards to a chad johnson than to any TE on the planet.
October 13, 200816 yr comment_713023 thats not even remotely a good fit, this season is over with and tonys only got one or 2 left in the tank id rather try and swap chad for roy williams if the lions are interested
October 13, 200816 yr comment_713031 Bad idea. We could potentially still get a 1st for Chad. You think Tony is worth a 1st?

October 13, 200816 yr Author comment_713039 Agreed it seems a lopsided trade at this point. But rather than create another thread, I'll ask this. If Chad only ends up with like 500 yards this season, what will that do to his trade value?
October 13, 200816 yr comment_713048 No way ! It's simple. When Carson gets time to throw,whbich hasn't bewnn recently, Chad and TJ are two of the best receivers in the league. Chad hasn't lost it. Neither has TJ lost it. It's the OL that can no longer protect the QB. Chad for Tony ? Can't see it.

We are a team that sucks, and we need draft picks to create more depth and try to improve. The Chiefs are a team that sucks, and needs draft picks to create more depth and try to improve. Why in the world would 2 struggling teams trade high profile players for each other? This doesn't even make sense.

You think Tony is worth a 1st?[/quote] Who is going to give us a 1st round pick for Chad Johnson? He is now 30 years old, his numbers are declining, and he's the same pain in the ass prima-donna he's always been. We should have dealt him last year when the Redskins offered a 1st. I guarantee we won't get that kind of offer this year.
