<p><strong><a href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GonzTo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com" target="_blank">Tony Gonzalez</a></strong> is going to give it another run for a Super Bowl. Maybe he was inspired by the way <strong><a href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LewiRa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com" target="_blank">Ray Lewis</a></strong> ended his career, but Tony wants to try and get that Super Bowl ring and allowed his agent to begin negotiations for his return, per Jay Glazer.</p>
<p>Tony still is killing it with the Atlanta Falcons and tearing up the league. He must be 85 years old, but the dude still has game.</p>
<p>I am just happy that Tony isn&#8217;t with the Kansas City Chiefs anymore. Those games were fun, watching <strong><a href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GateAn00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com" target="_blank">Antonio Gates</a></strong> and Tony Gonzales go back and forth, but Tony would tear us to pieces. He was and still is a beast to handle.</p>
<p>I always wondered how a basketball game between Gates and Gonzo would turn out. That would have been a fun little game of on-on-one.</p>
<p>Best of luck to Tony, except when you line up against the San Diego Chargers. We don&#8217;t need to see him running through our secondary anymore or slam dunking the football over the goal posts. I like when those oldies rock out like studs and keep that torch lit.</p>
<p>Welcome Back Tony!</p>

<p>It is good to know that other cities can get stadium deals done. That getting a stadium deal done is not some sort of non-existent golden unicorn. </p>
<p>The Atlanta Falcons are the next team in line to get a new stadium. The city of Atlanta and Falcons&#8217; owner Arthur Blank have announced that they will be sticking shovels in the dirt. </p>
<p>The best news for San Diego fans on the stadium front is that potential options in Los Angeles are shutting down. That is the only movement we see. </p>
<p>Congrats Atlanta! You were able to ride a good team into getting a new stadium. Wish the city of San Diego could have agreed on things years ago.</p>

<p>The Atlanta Falcons made the <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TurnMi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&#038;utm_source=direct&#038;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com">Michael  Turner</a></strong> release official today. They also added <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RobiDu20.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&#038;utm_source=direct&#038;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com">Dunta  Robinson</a></strong> and <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AbraJo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&#038;utm_source=direct&#038;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com">John  Abraham</a></strong> as part of the release. The Falcons should save a ton of dough after releasing the vets. </p>
<p>Should the Chargers pursue any of the vets that were just put out on the street? </p>
<p>Turner is a former Charger player and can add some veteran leadership to the runningback group. He would be a backup to <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MathRy00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&#038;utm_source=direct&#038;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com">Ryan  Mathews</a></strong>, but nothing else. The Chargers still should pick up another youngster from the draft if they pick up Turner. His tires barely have any tread on them, so it would just be a stop gap and insurance for Ryan  Mathews. </p>
<p>Dunta  Robinson would be an interesting signing, but it would probably be better for the Chargers to focus in on signing the younger <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CasoAn99.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&#038;utm_source=direct&#038;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com">Antoine  Cason</a></strong> for a few more years. Cason is not a fan fave, but he has been getting more and more consistent. Robinson would be better than <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JammQu20.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&#038;utm_source=direct&#038;utm_medium=linker-boltbeat.com">Quentin  Jammer</a></strong>, but Jammer will probably have a cheaper price tag. Plus, if we had Robinson and Bigby in the secondary, I would never know which one is which!</p>
