Well I think everyone in the NFC gave a big sigh when they saw the Kansas City Chiefs traded Tony Gonzalez for a future pick to the Atlanta Falcons.
This was a great trade for both teams really because the Falcons took themselves from being a good team to a Super Bowl contending team with the addition of Gonzalez for multiple reasons. Number one, they have a great young quarterback who seems to be the next great young quarterback in Matt Ryan or as I like to call him Matty Ice (his college nickname). Number two, they have Michael 'The Burner' Turner in the backfield where he proved last year he was much more than a quality backup. Also lets not forget Roddy White, I truly believe is an underrated wide receiver. Now you add Gonzalez to the mix and you have probably the best offense in the NFC.
You might ask why is this a good deal for the Chiefs? They get rid of a guy that doesnt want to be in Kansas City. I firmly believe that if someone doesnt want to be there then ship his ass somewhere else. Yes it will hurt to see Gonzalez tear up in Hotlanta but in the long run, they will be better without the distractions. Now you have to wonder if Larry Johnson will be on the move too because he was another guy who has complained about being a Chief?
