Bills No Go for Tony G.

Tony Gonzalez won't be coming to the Bills. That possibility had Bills fans all fired up, hoping the team would add the missing piece to the puzzle. As we reported over the weekend, the Bills were interested and involved in trade talks. But in the end, Gonzalez stays in Kansas City despite his desire to go to a Super Bowl contender. Sources told us Monday that the Bills interest had cooled off on making a trade. That could have been due to the Chiefs' demands, which may have been what the Saints gave up for Jeremy Shockey-a 2nd and 5th round pick. Don't discount the fact that Gonzalez may not have wanted to play in Buffalo. In an interview with Fox Sports, he seemed to hint at his desire to play for the Giants. ESPN's John Clayton speculated that the Packers and Bills werent' desirable locations for the NFL's alltime leading tight end. Gonzalez said he wanted to play for a Super Bowl contender. Its probably a bit early to put the Bills in that category.

Maybe the Chiefs just decided not to trade their marquee player. It seemed odd that on Monday, they announced that Tony would be honored before Sunday's game for setting the league mark for TE yardage. I doubt they would have done that if there was a chance he would be dealt.

So hang in there Bills fans. Hardy looks like he's growing into his role, Parrish is back and Derek Fine may be too. Gonzalez would have been nice. But the offense should still be effective. What do you think?
