Gonzalez Released!!!

Uhm...so?

You got me good Ronin. Reading the title, I thought you were referring to Tony Gonzalez. Those exclamation points were unnecessary especially for Anthony Gonzalez who is irrelevant.

The dog days of the NFL offseason.

Robdog would be proud.

It was the same thing I was thinking. Good one Ronin.

Well, might be worth a pickup.....if he is healthy.

I was thinking the only reason he was even picked up is if Welker held out. Considering he is signing his tender and won't miss any time he had to go. It's too bad but that's the name of the game.

Now what will happen with the rest of these guys.

I would say, if you really want to maximize views, add some upside down exclamation points at the beginning next time. Brings in more of the spanish-speaking market.

On topic though, I guess he just didn't look like he had recovered in whatever offseason stuff they've done so far. He had some good promise his first few years (though I could show promise with Peyton throwing to me).

Different positions at WR. Although I wonder if Ocho Cinco will make the team.

Not pandering, including.

Hmmmmmmmmm if he can stay healthy, this years Laurent Robinson?

In my universe, Coco would be the Grand Champion.

When the Patriots signed him a friend who's a Patriots disciple was fully erect. I was not impressed. Gonzalez was still a player who'd never done anything and couldn't stay healthy.

Seems that he is who we thought he was, and the Patriots figured that out fast.

That's how a lot of us are when the patriots sign anyone, me included sometimes. I thought it was just a band-aid just in case welker held out, even if he was one of those crappy plastic from the dollar store brand of band-aid. Once they got word he wouldn't do that he was cut.

It always puzzles me what goes on when veteran players get signed to contracts and then get before training camp. I'd love to know what they see when these decisions are made that they didn't see before the contract offer went out.

In this particular case, I'm guessing they saw Wes Welker sign on the dotted line. haha

They hoped to see him healthy and in great shape. He wasn't, so they probably lost $10k on the deal or so. It's very low risk to see if a player put it together over an offseason when it might be rude/cost you a signing to ask him to workout beforehand.
