Thread: Patriots release Anthony Gonzalez

http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/...thony-gonzalez

COnsidering that he's familiar with Manning and the system, and works well from the slot, I think he could be a nice addition to the depth.

Or simply worth looking at for those purposes.

As first glance I thought this said Aaron Hernandez and I almost got a huge boner. I guess he'd be worth bringing in for a look. He's comparable talent-wise to every WR we have past Decker and DT and he is familiar with Manning.

you're right about his familiarity with the system. . . dude is fragile, though. . .

I think any signings will come in June, Mike Klit was talking about that with Les/JoJo. Something about the money not effecting the rookie cash, something-or-other. Idk, Klis starts talking and my attention starts wandering to any shiny object.......

Yeah, thats definitely his problem. I guess I'm thinking that if we make a run of any kind into the playoffs, having that extra 4 WR that knows Manning well enough to step into in case of injury... plus he had a season or two where he looked REALLY good as an up-n-coming WR when teamed with Manning.

You guys give moreno a hard time for producing. This guy was a first rd pick (yes like 32) or whatever but he has nothing in stats...barely ever saw the field and is hurt more than clay spanks it.

PASS

Maybe we can use him like a junk parts car for Demarius Thomas.

I think he's an upgrade to Stokely. And I don't blame Gonzalez for a lack of receptions when he's on the field with Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark. Now, if he can't pass the physical, that's a different story but, otherwise, I think he's definitely worth the look if Manning agrees.

you just gave a reason to give him a go. Not looking for him to start, looking for him to provide depth to a WR corp while coming in with complete understanding to a new offensive system in Denver. Having a 1ast round talent as you #3-#4 isn't bad. Ask Brandon Lloyd how sometimes it takes a player with talent to finally step it up.

Injury is the main thing, of course. But if he can stay healthy, I don't see why we wouldn't bring him in to compete with some of our guys.

As opposed to the other "Iron Men" in our receiving corps?

This is the same logic I apply to knowshon, but for whatever reason it does not count for him.

Slowshon was a 2nd round prospect taken with the 12th overall pick by Satan himself, in addition to his glass vag, that's why he gets shit. I think it's fairly obvious now that he wasn't even a 2nd round prospect, at least not in the scheme he was brought into. I couldn't care less about Gonzales but Slowshon is the last thing Broncos should consider when considering drafting/signing a player.

One mans glass vag is another mans treasure.......

This difference is, whether its right or not, is that Knowshon has been a major 1st round disappointment to the very team that drafted him. That usually means you "get another chance" on another team.

I liked this cat at Indi.....I'd be cool with us signing him and giving him a chance to make the squad.
