Tony Gonzalez expected to return to Falcons for 2013

15-year veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez didn't waste a lot of time to say he likely just played his last NFL game after the Falcons lost to the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. During the post-game interviews Gonzalez said he is "97%" certain his NFL career ended.

However, the Falcons organization didn't quit on their Pro-Bowl TE and reportedly were able to reach an agreement with Gonzalez  where he will return to play in the 2013 season according to Jim Corbett of US Today.

Gonzalez is looking to return for a 1-year deal that is worth $7 million and in addition wants an added clause that will allow him to decide if he will show up to the entire off-season training camp or even a part of it.

The 13 time Pro-Bowler is the NFL's all-time leader in catches (1,242) and yards (14,268) by a tight end.
