Where is TO likely to land?

[Buck]

Poll to follow

Vote for all you think may apply.

[RustShack]

Did he get cut?

[-King-]

Packers? NE? SD? Oakland?

[-King-]

Did he get cut?

Yup

[Reerun_KC]

On your moms landing strip?

[MVChiefFan]

Did he get cut?

LMAO

[MGRS13]

I don't know where he ends up, but the raiders will make the biggest push. Al Davis is on the phone right now, no doubt.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Damn Buck you should have asked where won't he end up and you might not have had to select as many

[Spott]

In a van down by the river?

[FD]

I can't imagine anyone really being stupid enough to take him, but he has to play somewhere.

[Buck]

If a mod could somehow merge this into the TO Mega Thread that'd be sweet.

Not this shit again!

[Buck]

Raiders, Vikings, Redskins, Ravens are the consensus thus far.

[thumper118]

:doh!:
The big talk was Haley was able to handle TO when he was at Dallas. Any chance this facters in to bringing him in.

[redngold85]

how much more could he have left? He had his worst year this past year and is 35....

[StcChief]

disappointed.... where is the JAIL option.

[Buck]

Chiefs and Broncos making a surge.

[Archie Bunker]

Definitely not the Chiefs....

You know, Jen, why aren’t you touting Todd Haley for the job?" he asked. "He was the only one with the [guts] to tell Jerry 'I really want this job but I can’t coach this team with this guy on it. And I don’t think you are going to win anything of any consequence with this guy on it.’ "

This guy, of course, was Terrell Owens. And he and Haley were not exactly BFFs in their one and only season together as Cowboys under Big Bill.

T.O. vowed to "find the rats" with Haley being his prime suspect and blamed him for failing to use his considerable talent. Haley, a Big Bill disciple in every way, refused to cower and snapped right back which only further enraged perpetually touchy T.O.

Owner Jones did interview Haley, along with almost everybody else, when Bill Parcells left. Of course, Haley did not have a chance, bucking convention and saying what Jerry did not want to hear, which is T.O. is the rat.

[FD]

Don't overlook the Bengals. They run that team pretty badly and need a replacement for Housh. Him and Chad Johnson lining up across from each other would be hilarious.

[Buck]

They signed Laverneus Coles today.

[Sam Hall]

Vikings make sense, but he would lose his mind with an unproven quarterback.

[Gravedigger]

Bet you Redskins take a shot at him.

[Basileus777]

Brad Childress isn't going to want TO.

[MMXcalibur]

If he went to the Patriots.....

...Tom Brady throwing to Randy Moss and Terrell Owens with a pinch of Wes Welker? New England wouldn't need a defense. The opposing offense might never catch up.

[Reerun_KC]

Giants.... To replace Plexiglass...

[beach tribe]

I think the Titans should go after him.

[Sam Hall]

The Redskins would be set up for another epic failure with TO and Haynesworth. Nobody chokes like the 'skins. I'd give them third place in the division.

[Sam Hall]

The Giants will be fine if they draft a receiver. They aren't dumb enough to sign TO.

[Hootie]

I guess I wasn't the only one to pick the Redskins LMAO

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I guaranfuckintee I've got this one nailed. NAILED!!!!

[Reerun_KC]

I guaran****intee I've got this one nailed. NAILED!!!!

Me too, I chose them all, so I will not be wrong...

[DaWolf]

He will be a Faider...

[Mr. Flopnuts]

He will be a Faider...

True to life shit.

[sparkky]

I'm hoping for Denver personally. Cutler would be on meds and in depends before training camp even ended.

[unothadeal]

Vikings. Weren't they heavily pursuing Housh?

[soundmind]

'The Player' could absolutely, positively mark the turn-around of the Kansas City Chiefs.

T.O. will help solidify the downfall of a decaying franchise in Oakland. It will be a sweet view from our new red seats, to watch them destroy themselves, while the Elways trade away they're non-criminal talent, and San Diego loses their best weapon to career injuries...

Playoffs in 2009 is a growing possibility.

[CrazyPhuD]

This poll is RIGGED!

I went to vote for the cowgirls and I couldn't!!!:cuss:

[The_Doctor10]

Sigh... Al Davis...

[soundmind]

Vikings. Weren't they heavily pursuing Housh?

:eek: Ooooooh, that could definitely happen. And if it does, watch out...it'd be difficult to account for both Owens and Peterson, man, Birk would be pissed he left. I don't know that any of their QBs can solve their problems though, forever weak at QB up there.

That's definitely something to watch though....:popcorn:

[Wilson8]

The team that signs him needs to have an established, good, QB and coaching staff. I don't think KC would be a good fit for him. Cassel will be trying to build his image with the team and if things don't go well for TO, he would work on tearing Cassel down.

Maybe The Giants could risk it. Depends on what they do with Burress. The Patriots don't have a pressing need at WR but they have a strong enough team that they could probably handle Owens.

I think on a young team, Terrell Owens would be a major problem waiting to happen.

[Molitoth]

Da Raydaahhs. SeniAL will sign him to a huge contract, for sure.

[Buck]

I seriously think that the Titans are going to heavily pursue him.

They didn't have to pay for Haynesworth so they should have some money free and can afford him.

They are the 1 team I see in this that really needs his services to try and get to the next level.

[MOhillbilly]

redskins

[Molitoth]

redskins

Do they even have any money left????

[blaise]

Brad Childress isn't going to want TO.

Agreed. Childress was in Philly when T.O. was there. I heard T.O. used to park in Childress's parking space at the Eagles complex, and wouldn't talk to Childress, but would go over his head and just talk to Andy Reid. I really doubt Childress would take him.

[Molitoth]

Who wants to overpay for a mouthy receiver that leads the league in dropped balls and locker room cancer situations?

[Buck]

I should have added a retire option.

He is 35, and he may not get any offers from a team hes interested in playing for.

[TEX]

I think he'll end up joining the Ravens for real this time...

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Redskins or Jags.

[Buck]

I think he'll end up joining the Ravens for real this time...

You need to update the little message right under your username.

LOL

[blaise]

He might think he's going to sit a year and then cash in during the uncapped year. He'd probably be wrong, but he is delusional.

[TEX]

You need to update the little message right under your username.

LOL

Yep. Plan to when the season starts. Till then I just read it and shake my head...

[soundmind]

Raiders, Ravens, Titans - in that order. Laughable how EVERYONE is convinced he'll be a Raider by Monday....

[Chiefnj2]

Chris Canty was being interviewed this morning and the hosts asked him about Owens. Canty said that TO was a very good teammate in the locker room and that he would be a good addition to the Giants. He said outside sources continually blew things out of proportion.

I personally don't think he'd be a good fit in NY because the media would just hover waiting to blow any statement up. He'd be a better fit in a small market where he could get to know a fairly honest reporter and speak through that one guy.

[ModSocks]

I think he'll be a raider, but i voted Pats. If the pats put an offer out i think he would take it. Owens, Mass and Brady...

[Molitoth]

I agree about TO would strive more in a small market team.

I'm thinking Titans would be his best fit.

[Brock]

They could cut ties with Burress if they signed Owens.

[Molitoth]

I think TO and MOSS would be fighting over who gets the ball more. Eventually that relationship would fall through.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

They could cut ties with Burress if they signed Owens.

Only one of those guys is a game changing receiver.

[Buck]

Is Tory Holt going to be released?

I'm sure he'd be the #1 choice over TO

[Sam Hall]

I have a hard time seeing Jeff Fisher and TO together.

[Wilson8]

Not sure how reliable this information is but...

http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/football/bob_blog/2009/03/source_giants_have_zero_intere.html

Well, that takes care of that. The Giants are not going to be in line to sign Terrell Owens, who has been released by the Cowboys.

There is "zero" interest in talking to Owens, according to a league source familiar with the team's situation.

Good. There's no way Owens would fit in Tom Coughlin's locker room.

[Jilly]

He's such a douche, he'd fit right in with the Raiders

[Nzoner]

I have a hard time seeing Jeff Fisher and TO together.

My first thought as well

[Buck]

Jeff Fisher could handle the Face Stomping Haynesworth.

Then again he severed ties with Pacman, but T.O. isn't a criminal...

[Nzoner]

I was thinking Vince Young,they already have one whiny bitch,why add another.

[Sam Hall]

I think this comes down to which team is dumb enough to sign Owens. He's burnt too many bridges, and I think the league has caught on. That leaves Oakland as his best optionLMAO

[Nzoner]

Dumb is exactly right,any GM considering this move better think long and hard about the other players on the roster and what this move could do to their locker room.

Maybe T.O. can land a spot in the CFL

[dirk digler]

I think this comes down to which team is dumb enough to sign Owens. He's burnt too many bridges, and I think the league has caught on. That leaves Oakland as his best optionLMAO

Yep. The Redskins and Giants have both said no thanks so I can't imagine another team but the Raiders signing this cancer

[StcChief]

Poll bares this out Faiders. Greasy Al and TO. come to thugland we love you man.

[Wilson8]

Is Tory Holt going to be released?

I'm sure he'd be the #1 choice over TO

Report: Holt wants out of St. Louis
It seems Torry Holt would be a good fit with the Chiefs. The Chiefs have been looking at veteran WR Bobby Engram and they've also said they are looking to help team leadership. Torry will be 33 years old next year but he has been a very productive and could still have a couple of good seasons left. Last year was a down year but he still had close to 800 yards receiving.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3954188
"Holt, who has one year left on his current contract, is due a roster bonus of $1.25 million on March 17, making it unlikely he'll remain on the roster beyond that date. The Rams could trade him between now and then. But a number of other free-agent wide receivers have already signed deals, limiting the remaining market.

Trading or releasing Holt would save the Rams $8 million on the salary cap this season, according to the report."

Maybe a low cost trade could be worked out. If KC is going to a 3-4, then maybe one of our DEs might be part of a trade deal.

[Micjones]

Owens and Moss in New England would be lethal.

[blaise]

Owens and Moss in New England would be lethal.


I don't think it'll happen. They like winning Super Bowls too much.

[gta0012]

Would have to be with a GOOD team. He won't stand for being on a losing team.

Cross Vikings out Childress was a coach in philly when TO was around.

[kysirsoze]

FWIW Mort just said the Faiders were the only option out there for him.

[gta0012]

FWIW Mort just said the Faiders were the only option out there for him.

Eww. That team would implode on itself. TO can't handle a losing team. Chargers maybe???

[blaise]

FWIW Mort just said the Faiders were the only option out there for him.

FWIW is right. Mort will throw anything out there and then take credit for anything that sticks.

[kysirsoze]

FWIW is right. Mort will throw anything out there and then take credit for anything that sticks.

exactly....huge grain of salt.

[Mark M]

I forgot to choose the 'Skins -- I'm sure Dan Snyder's tendency to build real teams like most do their fantasy squads make it a possibility.

But I do think the Faiders are #1, with the Ravens a possibility that's not getting much attention -- although I'm not sure Harbaugh would want that kind of guy, giving Flacco a target like that could be enticing.

[soundmind]

Terrell Owens has burnt every bridge in the NFL Coaching Tree. The coaching carousel in the NFL is a pretty tight group, they all bounce around, they all talk. #81 has listened to FAR TOO MUCH of what Drew Rosenhaus has sold him, and he has officially f*cked himself into a corner on this one.

Dallas was his only shot at salvation. He will be a burnout in Oaktown, and its already been reported that he's not welcome in Minnesota, Baltimore, Washington, Browns, 49ers, or New England thus far....so if he's only willing to work with a winning team, he may want to go coach D2 or something...cause if not, you might be a Raider son.

[kaplin42]

Anywhere but here please. TO can suck a bag of dicks for all I care.

[Radar Chief]

I forgot to choose the 'Skins -- I'm sure Dan Snyder's tendency to build real teams like most do their fantasy squads make it a possibility.

Good point, but when I first heard of TO’s release, this was my first thought.

But I do think the Faiders are #1,

[blaise]

Maybe the Toronto Argonauts need a clubhouse cancer.

[Wilson8]

Pretty good analysis of TO.

Want to Sign T.O.? The Pros and Cons

Terrell Owens is about to be looking for work again after the Dallas Cowboys reportedly decided Wednesday night to release him.

It's nothing new for Owens. He was traded by the San Francisco 49ers following the 2003 season and released by the Philadelphia Eagles after they first suspended and then deactivated him at the end of the 2005 season.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones provided Owens with a landing spot in Dallas the last time around. Which team will take a chance on Owens's unique mix of skill and volatility this time?

It's not immediately clear. The Eagles need a receiver, but a reunion with quarterback Donovan McNabb and Coach Andy Reid seems unlikely. The Minnesota Vikings just tried but failed to land free agent wideout T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks instead. But their coach is former Eagles offensive coordinator Brad Childress, who clashed with Owens in Philadelphia. It seems farfetched to think that Bill Parcells would take Owens in Miami or Todd Haley, formerly Parcells's passing game coordinator in Dallas during Parcells's uncomfortable pairing with Owens and now the Chiefs' head coach, would take him in Kansas City.

The Baltimore Ravens attempted to get Owens once. Would they try again? The Denver Broncos thought about adding Owens the last time he was available. The New York Giants might need to replace Plaxico Burress. What about Chicago? What about the St. Louis Rams if they trade or release Torry Holt? Perhaps the Arizona Cardinals if they can't work things out with Anquan Boldin? Tampa? How about the Indianapolis Colts after they just released Marvin Harrison? It sounds improbable but remember: Who would have thought that Randy Moss would end up in New England and thrive there?

For now, here's a quick look at the pros and cons of signing Owens:

The Pros...

1. He's still productive.

Say what you want about the guy's other issues, but he puts up numbers. He had 69 catches for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Cowboys this past season. That's a down year for Owens. It's a career year for some receivers. In three seasons with the Cowboys, he totaled 235 catches for 3,587 yards and 38 touchdowns. He's topped 1,000 receiving yards in eight of the last nine seasons, and the only time he didn't was in 2005 for the Eagles when he played in only seven games. Clearly, he can play.

2. He can make a good team better.

Yes, the Eagles got rid of Owens after his disruptive behavior played a central role in sinking their 2005 season. But that came after the Eagles, with Owens, reached the Super Bowl in the 2004 season. That was a very good Eagles team that lapped the field in the NFC. Those Eagles were minus Owens, who was hurt, throughout the NFC playoffs. But having Owens had given the Eagles a swagger that they hadn't possessed without him. Having Owens transformed that Eagles club from good to superb. Have you seen the Eagles, under Reid and McNabb, in a Super Bowl without Owens? No.

3. He wasn't THAT bad in Dallas, was he?

He's difficult. He's a diva. He wants the ball all the time. Even when he gets the ball thrown his way a lot, he still complains. But does that make him all that different from other headliner wide receivers in the NFL? At least he backs it up with almost-ceaseless production.

The cons...

1. His age.

He's 35. He'll turn 36 before next season ends. His best days as a player perhaps are behind him, and at some point the production will drop to the point that the headaches he causes won't even begin to be worth it.

2. His diva act.

The 49ers had enough and traded him. The Eagles had enough and sent him home, then cut him. The Cowboys apparently have had enough. Owens didn't get along with Jeff Garcia. He didn't get along with McNabb. He went from tearfully defending Tony Romo in Dallas to, reportedly, accusing him of being too chummy with tight end Jason Witten to the exclusion of throwing the ball to Owens. It's beginning to appear there's simply no team--and no quarterback--with which this guy can make things work.

3. His drops.

He catches a lot of passes. But he drops a lot of passes, too. Part of the reason that his receiving numbers are so good is that he demands to have so many passes thrown his way, and he doesn't catch all of them. He often is among the league leaders in dropped passes, making him something like an NBA player who scores 25 points a night but needs to take far too many shots to do it. At some point, it's simply not worth it to have him around.
