    Gates: wants to come back in '17 for a legit shot at the Super Bowl

    Antonio Gates doesn’t sound like he’s finished. Not now, when things are about to be good.

          sure, and keep Hunter Henry from getting valuable snaps? I don't think so. If Gates is too delusional to know when he is done, the Spanii need to show him. I'd package Gates & Rivers and trade for rights to Johnny Manziel & handful of magic beans before bringing Gates back.

            Is he sneaking in a bottle of Don Julio 1942 into the stands?

                As a cheap, second TE option, he's a good pick up.
                Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                  only if 90% of his snaps are as a dedicated in-line blocker which he showed he can do pretty well this year.

                    Id prefer we get younger, faster and better at blocking. I wouldn't mind going back to the well in the draft. Gates counts 5 million against the cap. Is he really a major factor this season? Its like losing Woody and the impact it had on Gordon. I think Henry is ready to take the step towards having a younger Gates type impact. Id be looking at a blocking TE that can also be a threat in the passing game. Henry could be that guy and we could use him in a Witten type role. I also like the idea of getting Henrys former teammate Jeremy Sprinkle in the 5th round or so. Great blocker. They work well together. Arkansas is a running minded team. Emphasis on blocking and short passing game. I think Henry would be the main bread winner taking over Gates role. And Sprinkle would be the blocking TE that can also do damage in the passing game.

                    I love Gates. And yes he deserves to be on the roster if he wants to continue for another year. But not at 5 million.

                      And PEDs for the whole team.

                        Completely agree, he is a heck of an athlete to boot. It would be a really good 1-2 punch.

                        I love what Gates has done and meant for this franchise. Hard to say goodbye to a living legend, but I think at the price for production its not making sense anymore. Football can't be run on what you did for me, has to be on what can you do for me.
