Falcons, Tony Gonzalez agree to one-year extension
The Atlanta Falcons and tight end Tony Gonzalez have agreed to a one-year extension worth $7 million, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer (via CBS Sports).
With his 79 receptions through last week, Gonzalez has more receptions than any tight end not named Jimmy Graham or Rob Gronkowski this season. He ranks fourth among tight ends in receiving yards with 867 and has seven touchdowns.
In his career, Gonzalez has four 1,000-yard seasons and the 133 yards he needs would be a season high. But he is only 33 yards shy of 900 yards, which would give him his ninth 900-yard season of his career and first one since 2008.
Gonzalez ranks second all-time in receptions and will be seeking the first playoff win of his 15-year NFL career.
