The Falcons have acquired 33-year old TE Tony Gonzalez from the Chiefs for a 2nd round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.  Gonzalez played in all 16 games for the Chiefs last season and he caught 96 passes for 1,058 yards (11.0 avg) with 10 TD grabs.  He has had over 1,000 yards receiving 4 times in his NFL career and he has caught 10+ TDs in a season three times.  Gonzalez has now played in 190 games in his NFL career and he has caught 916 passes for 10,940 yards (11.9 avg) with 76 TD grabs.  This move gives Matt Ryan a receiver in the short game that he can trust so look for the Falcons to have one of the highest scoring most efficient offenses in the NFL this season.
