Fan starts petition to keep Falcons Tony Gonzalez for another year

Posted: Updated:
ATLANTA -

Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez still hasn't made up his mind to retire, but one Falcons fan wants to make sure he stays on for another year.

Cary Clayborn has posted a petition on Facebook, and already has over 13,000 likes.

Gonzalez was hoping for a Super Bowl victory before he hung up his helmet for good, but the Atlanta Falcons came up short against the 49ers in the NFC Championship game on Sunday.

The 16-year veteran played for Kansas City from 1997 to 2008, according to ESPN. He started with the Falcons in 2009.

    They say the third time's a charm, and that's certainly the case for Candice Glover.  A third try on American Idol was just what she needed, and on Thursday night she was crowned the season 12 champ.
