    News broke earlier this week that Tony Gonzalez, in the event of a lockout-lost 2011 season, may retire. The Falcons do not currently have his successor on the roster, so it shouldn't come to much of a surprise that they're looking into a developmental tight end. The team is expected to have TE Virgil Green (Nevada) in for a visit soon, according to a source close to the Nevada program. Green, who is known in scouting circles as one of the most athletic players available for the 2011 NFL Draft at his position, put together an outstanding NFL Scouting Combine workout.

    I don't think there's any "replacing" a Tony Gonzalez.

    Virgil Green is a project......I wouldn't count on him starting Week 1.
