Crazy Carl does it again

The Kansas City Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson is known for asking more than the markey rate when making trades. That was obviously the case when the Chiefs were trying to deal tight end Tony Gonzalez.

It is being rumored that Peterson was asking for a first round pick for Gonzalez. The Associated Press stated in an article that Gonzalez could be attained cheaply.

Obviously, that is a load of bull. When the teams started calling the price immediatley went up. How else can you explain a future Hall of Fame tight end not being traded at the dead line.

Most likely what happened is that Peterson probably took a couple of calls from teams stating what the price would be. Probably low at the start, but when several teams called Peterson probably started asking for escalation clauses.

The problem is that nobody in their right mind would give up higher than a second rounder for Gonzalez. For he is in the twighlight of his career, and giving up a first round pick is just crazy.

Now, the Chiefs will get what they deserved, and that is an outright circus.
