The Kansas Chiefs have hit the dubious trifecta of offensive abandonment, losing WR Dwayne Bowe, TE Tony Gonzalez and RB Larry Johnson since last season.

In an exclusive interview on NFL GameDay Morning, Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez sat down with NFL Network’s Stacey Dales to talk about his quest for a Super Bowl, what it was like to change teams and his status among the all-time great tight ends.

Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Morrissey writes that what Bears fans didn’t like about Kyle Orton as a quarterback, fans in Denver have completely accepted. What Orton lacks in style, he more than makes up for in results. He’s 25-12 as a starter.

Some 0-2 teams are in a lot better shape than others, at least in part because they know who they want to be, and what they do best.

We’re all excited for the games to finally begin. Plenty of reasons to keep an eye on each offering.

Matt Cassel is hurt. The offensive coordinator has been dismissed. The wide receiver corps is in shambles. No wonder there’s not one member of the Chiefs not named Dwayne Bowe that I’d want on my fantasy team.

In my latest experts league draft, I decided to focus on wide receivers and passed on taking a second running back until the fifth round. Check out the my full roster to see if this little experiment worked.

I had the chance recently to watch two spirited practices at Atlanta Falcons training camp, chatting with owner Arthur Blank, GM Thomas Dimitroff, coach Mike Smith and a number of players in the process. I left Flowery Branch with a good feel for the 2009 Falcons.

Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez took a break from training with his new team to speak with NFL Network’s Rich Eisen Monday. Gonzalez talked about his new quarterback, and what drives him to keep playing.

Teammates of Matt Ryan have said that the quarterback’s improvement has been scary. The ones who should be scared are fantasy players.

Tony Gonzalez shared some pointed thoughts during a radio interview on Wednesday, calling his last two seasons with the rebuilding Chiefs “incredibly frustrating.”

Atlanta’s acquisition of Kansas City’s All-Pro TE Tony Gonzalez in exchange for the team’s 2010 second-round draft pick triggers a series of scenarios not only for each team on the field but for this weekend’s draft.

The acquisition of 10-time Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez will have a ripple effect on the Falcons’ offense.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced Thursday that they have traded 10-time Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Three Chiefs players have expressed unhappiness in Kansas City this offseason, and two didn’t show up for Saturday’s first minicamp practice, the Kansas City Star reports. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, both of the no-show players were the team’s only Pro Bowlers last season.
