KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed in principle to a five-year contract extension with Tony Gonzalez.
The move announced Friday would keep the 10-year veteran and one of the NFL's most potent tight ends in Kansas City. Gonzalez is just two touchdowns short of holding the record for most receiving touchdowns ever by a tight end.
Terms of the deal were not announced.
Chiefs president Carl Peterson said in a new release that the deal would essentially allow Gonzalez to finish his career with Kansas City.

No surprise there. Had no interest anyway

I think tony gonazalez is good but to old to sign to a 5 year extension

I'm not suprised that they brough him back. I'm more suprised about how long they want him for. He is 34 or 35 I think and will not be an elite TE in 5 years, I would have signed him for 2 or 3 years

No big surprise. He is the face of that team. But 5 years seems long for a guy who doesn't look like he has 5 years left. Who knows

Gonzo turns 31 in Feb. Green could be done & as y'all know Huard is not the answer. The Chiefs need to get a QBotF(Croyle?). Gonzo will be a huge safety valve for a young inexperienced QB. He can't hand it off to LJ all the time & the WRs are not great
