Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:25:16 -0700 Despite the fact Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez is returning for one final season in 2013, general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the team will still look to tight end in the upcoming NFL Draft. "You don't deviate from your plan when you go into the draft after bringing a guy back. We don't know if we are going to have Tony Gonzalez past one year. Our eyes are still on many positions in this draft and there is no question - this may be selling it out a little bit - but we continue to look at the tight end (position)," Dimitroff said Friday, April 5.
Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:21:21 -0700 Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez said 2013 will be his last season even though he signed a two-year deal. He said he is a little tempted to try to break the all-time receiving record but understands it would probably take him four years to break the record. Fantasy Tip: Gonzalez is still a top tight end in the NFL even if he is in the latter stages of his career. He should definitely be a top-five tight end next season and should continue to be a consistent fantasy producer because he is a part of one of the best offenses in the league.
Fri, 05 Apr 2013 06:43:56 -0700 Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez said returning for the 2013 season was the right thing to do after talking to teammates, coaches and team personnel. "Matt Ryan, Arthur Blank, Mike Smith, Roddy White, all the guys really want me back," Gonzalez said. "I went home thinking it was over, and I talked to my family and really sat down with them and discussed the pros and cons of returning, and really, I couldn't think of too many cons ... You know what? We've got a great football team, and I look forward to seeing what we can do this year."
Fri, 15 Mar 2013 10:02:29 -0700 Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez agreed to a two-year, $14 million dollar contract with $7 million guaranteed. Gonzalez's cap number for 2013 is $5.25 million.
Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:06:27 -0700 The Atlanta Falcons have re-signed free-agent TE Tony Gonzalez to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Tue, 12 Mar 2013 09:44:17 -0700 Free-agent TE Tony Gonzalez (Falcons) has given his agent the green light to talk to the Atlanta Falcons. He's reportedly seeking $7 million for the 2013 season in addition to a reduced training camp.
Sun, 10 Mar 2013 13:51:07 -0700 Free-agent TE Tony Gonzalez (Falcons) is expected to inform the Atlanta Falcons this week that he will re-sign with the team and will return for the 2013 season. Fantasy Tip: After this offense's explosion and his revival in 2012, Gonzalez would earn top-five, if not top-three, consideration for this position as a Falcon on draft day. He'll remain a better investment in PPRs than in non-, though; he'll often be a frustrating play, and at age 37 he may lose just a hair of burst, which may disappoint overzealous bidders.
Sun, 10 Mar 2013 10:03:12 -0700 Free-agent TE Tony Gonzalez (Falcons) could re-sign with the Atlanta Falcons if the price is right and if the team would allow him to miss most if not all of training camp. The team is cautiously optimistic about re-signing Gonzalez and neither issue is expected to be a deal breaker.
Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:15:19 -0800 Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff sounded cautiously optimistic about the possibility of impending free-agent TE Tony Gonzalez playing next season during his press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine. Gonzalez still has not given the Falcons a definite answer about his future.
Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:24:52 -0800 While Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan will be pursued for a contract extension this offseason, the front office's top priority is convincing TE Tony Gonzalez to stave off his expected retirement for one more season. Fantasy Tip: Barring a major injury, Gonzalez should once again be a strong fantasy football contributor if he indeed returns. Stay tuned.
Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:56:12 -0800 Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said he believes impending free-agent TE Tony Gonzalez is having trouble deciding on his future and believes it is close to 50-50 in terms of Gonzalez returning next season. Dimitroff said the team still lists Gonzalez as their No. 1 tight end during personnel meetings.
Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:52:15 -0800 Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith said the team does not have a timetable for when they would like TE Tony Gonzalez to make a decision on his future.
Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:09:14 -0800 Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said he has talked to impending free-agent TE Tony Gonzalez about the possibility of coming back for one more year. Gonzalez has said he is 95 percent sure that he will retire this offseason.
Fri, 25 Jan 2013 12:08:49 -0800 Atlanta Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff praised TE Chase Coffman when talking about possible replacements for the retiring Tony Gonzalez. "Chase is a very good receiving tight end, and he continues to grow and learn as he receives very good coaching under Chris Scelfo," Dimitroff said. "If Chase can … stay healthy, I think Chase has a very nice chance of being a quality football player in this league."
Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:32:04 -0800 Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph was selected to his first Pro Bowl for the NFC squad, and he'll replace Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez (undisclosed), who will not play due to injury.
Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:12:51 -0800 The Atlanta Falcons are holding out hope that TE Tony Gonzalez has a change of heart and decides to stick around for another season after he strongly hinted that he will retire following the team's loss in the NFC Championship Game to the San Francisco 49ers. "I'm hoping for the five percent," head coach Mike Smith said, referring to Gonzalez's season-long assertion that he's 95 percent certain he will retire. "Tony handled this very well all season long. I don't think he's deviated from that." Gonzalez probably will not play in the Pro Bowl this weekend.
Sun, 20 Jan 2013 17:21:19 -0800 Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez indicated after the NFC Championship Game loss against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, Jan. 20, that he likely played in his final NFL game. "It's probably the last time I'm going to wear that uniform," Gonzalez said. "I didn't want to take it off, to tell you the truth. All good things come to an end and, like I said all season long, this is probably my last one. What an unbelievable ride." Fantasy Tip: While Gonzalez indicated during the season he might be done, he played at a high level again this season, including eight grabs for 78 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers. While comments shortly after an emotional loss can usually be taken with a grain of salt, Gonzalez isn't getting any younger and will have ample opportunities after his football career ends. His departure would thin the fantasy pool at a position that is weak as it is. Good luck to No. 88 if this was it, as he had a great and Hall of Fame career.
Sun, 06 Jan 2013 11:48:30 -0800 Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez has lost all five playoff games he has been in during his career and hopes to set his first playoff win this season. "I think about it all the time," Gonzalez said. "You always think about what you've gone through in the past and the tough heart-breaking losses that I've had in the playoffs. And hopefully it is for a reason because it makes (this year) so much sweeter."
Wed, 02 Jan 2013 08:10:21 -0800 Although Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez said he is 95 percent certain of retiring at season's end, QB Matt Ryan remains hopeful Gonzalez will play another year. "I've been lobbying the entire season," Ryan said. "He's playing at such a high level that he's physically capable of coming back. But the biggest thing is it's got to be a good decision for him and his family. Whatever he decides I'll support him in that, and I'm just thankful that I've had the four years I've had with him."

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 18:44:09 -0700 Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez posted five receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. "He's such a great part of this organization, you know, probably the greatest tight end to ever play the game," QB Matt Ryan said.

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 09:07:27 -0700 Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez is returning to Kansas City during Week 1, which will be an emotional game for him because he spent the first 12 seasons of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs.

I just want to make sure that I end at the top."
Thu, 21 Jun 2012 10:19:21 -0700 Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said he is not worried about TE Tony Gonzalez missing minicamp this week because he is a veteran player that will be able to pick up the scheme.

He'll be fine." Gonzalez attended a few of the offseason workouts but stayed in California for most of the offseason.
Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:11:02 -0700 Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez is obviously entrenched as the starter, but the Falcons have several players jockeying for the primary backup job.
