Redskins Interested in TO

A T.O. FOR T.O.
More and more, it's looking as if the Eagles are going to be able to extract some form of compensation for disgruntled wide receiver Terrell Owens.

Sports Illustrated's Peter King will be reporting on Wednesday night's Inside the NFL that the Redskins are the latest entrant into the T.O. sweepstakes, and definitely the most intriguing. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder thrives on making high-profile acquisitions, like this one would be. Plus, it would be yet another boost to a Redskins offense that already has added offensive coordintor Al Saunders.

But now that the Redskins are involved, and possibly willing to give up a first-day draft pick, the Cowboys are likely to follow suit. Hard to imagine Cowboys owner Jerry Jones just sitting back and watching Snyder add another marketable commodity to his stable in Washington without doing anything.

Also, Chiefs president Carl Peterson is saying that Kansas City needs to take a look at T.O., shortly after Kansas City's division rival Broncos brought T.O. to Denver for a visit.

The Dolphins are interested, the Buccaneers will be interested, and so, amazingly, there will be no shortage of suitors for Owens, who now looks destined to be dealt.

Smart money is now on Washington. Redskins are the favorite.

Interesting. It wouldn't surprise me though if they're doing this to try to force Dallas to give up more than they'd like to

(I've moved this thread to the Locker Room so we can all discuss)

I can't see that being the case. Do you really think we want to help the Eagles get more compensation?

Yeah after I typed it I realized that we still have the Eagles to consider also.

Peter King mentions it himself also on SI.com:

1. I think, as I say tonight on Inside the NFL, that the Redskins will be a major player in the Terrell Owens sweepstakes before it's all done. And I think the Eagles, who a month ago were pretty sure they'd just release Owens instead of hanging on to him to try to get something in trade, now might actually get a mid-round or slightly better pick for him

Peter King is full of crap.

I refuse to believe it.

Let the Broncos have him.

[Carnage]

i do not believe that the eagles would trade him to division opponent.

[Carnage]

besides, TO never got the payday he felt he was due. Now, he will holdout against whatever team trades for him.

agree. unless they feel that it will have more negative effect and weaken an opponent

This is such bullshit. I wouldn't be surprised if the T.O. camp is spreading rumors about the Skins wanting him just to increase interest in him.

I'm sorry to say but the Jeff George experiment has scared me for life. No one can handle a bad apple.

T.O. although a headache actually can get us over the hump. Him and Santana with portis in the backfield is a match in heaven. Look out in 06 for us to make a major splash.

Whatever this is, it won't be a match made in heaven!

I said on another post and on my blog that as it got closer to release date, the Eagles would make some hard-headed business calls and insist on compensation for Owens' services, and that they would keep him on the roster if they couldn't trade him. It's 50-50 that still could happen.

Now if I were special agent Drew, I would try to foster a competitive atmosphere for Owens by playing on owner's fear, jealousy and ego to drum up a good contract. Hmmm. DS signing Owens to keep JJ from getting him, or vice versa, sounds like that. In fact, this exact scenario was suggested by Stephen A Smith, the Philadelphia Wilbon, just last month. :smashfrea

For the Skins, we've been thru the big name syndrome. It didn't work in '99; won't work in '06. I'd rather go for 27 yr old Reggie Wayne from the "U" than 30-something Owens. Also, I'm resigned to losing Lavar. I would NOT be happy to lose Lavar to make cap room for Owens. There's a price to be paid for getting Owens, and it's more than draft choices.

It's the game between the season, boys! Enjoy the show; but, don't fall for the hype.

1. He start that me shit....gone
2. He puts down one person on the team....gone
3. make any comments about the way the coaching staff is running the team...gone
4.But.....He comes in plays well, talk trash on the field....next to Santana Moss doesn't have to be buddies with everyone on the team....and we are a potential SuperBowl Team

The question is what are we giving up to take this risk. That's what it comes down to.
