The Facts:
Chiefs president Carl Peterson insisted this week he will not trade Gonzalez, and cannot be persuaded to make any such type of deal. At least three teams have internally debated the merits of Gonzalez and what he would be worth to their offense. Peterson can continue insisting he will not deal, but other teams are going to try to entice him to budge.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Peterson's loyalty to Gonzalez, and keeping the face of the franchise in Kansas City is admirable. But as NFL Network insider Adam Schefter suggests, with the Chiefs having lost 12 straight games, and with Gonzalez intending to conclude his career after next season, it might be in the Chiefs’ best interest to get compensation now to help the self-professed rebuilding program they’re on.
