SOURCE: ESPN.COM | Insight: A lot of veterans feel the same way. Kerry Collins reportedly isn't sure if he's coming back. Getting ready for a season requires a lot of work and training.

Description: TE Tony Gonzalez's publicist says Gonzo "definitely" plans to continue playing next season.
SOURCE: TWITTER | Insight: After playing at a high level for so many years, Gonzo is clearly on the decline. His stats in almost every receiving category went down from 2009, except touchdowns where he matched 2009's number with six. We strongly feel Gonzo is no longer a high-level TE1 going into 2011. He is in the last year of his current contract and is due $5.75 million, so he could call it quits in 2012. | | |
