Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Typically, the franchise tender for tight ends is generally low but in this case the Chiefs will be required to pay Gonzalez almost $8 million since his current salary cap number is about $6.5 million. Gonzalez played in 15 games for the Chiefs in 2006 with 73 receptions for 900 yards and five touchdowns.
