Cowboys cut T.O.

Dirtbag59 · 03-05-2009, 04:47 AM

There is no way in hell that DeAngelo Hall will play on the same team as T.O. Remember the Thursday Night Game against Atlanta where T.O. spit on Hall and after the game Hall said he didn't respect him "as a man." All that D. Hall has been quiet talk will be for naught if T.O. signs here, in fact he'll get a jump start on destroying a team from the inside out if he comes here.

NFL fines Cowboys' Owens $35,000 for spitting on Hall - NFL - ESPN

Anyway the fact of the matter is that D. Hall is here and he's got the big contract. So for everyone worried that Vinny would sign T.O. take a breath and relax. Even Vinny isn't that crazy. I'm actually surprised that no one mentioned this sooner.

Dirtbag wins the thread...wait he just lost it as declaring oneself the winner equals automatic fail. Either way, craziness is now settled.

I forgot all about that d hall-t.o. spat a few season ago. Like that logic.

I think he was talking about who would wear 81 if TO went to New England. Thanks for paying respect to Monk and Green. I agree, both numbers should be retired by the Redskins.

HAIL!

T.O for all his antic's made Dallas a better team cause he was a #1 WR. ...He dropped a lot of balls and ran wrong routes....How much of that was Romo's fault? ie; threw the pass too hard on short routes, over thrown balls, balls not thrown hard enough on the long balls, and the dirt balls? True he may have ran wrong routes....sometimes he looked like he did during a game but how much of it was the other WR ran the wrong route bringing all the defenders into the zone T.O. was supposed to be in? How much of it was T.O. could not hear the play being changed at the line of scrimage?

No one can dispute T.O. has talent it's just his attitude and chemistry. If he could curb the attitude and focus it on the field toward the other team, and have chemistry with a team he would be dangerous. You put him with a team with a strong coach and perhaps word his contract right in case he acts up he knows he can be fined or cut, then he will be fine. He'll destroy the Raiders even further in to dispare. NE would be a good stop for him with the strong HC.

I wouldn't mind having him with the Skins with a decent contract but it's the chemistry issue and I don't know if Zorn could keep him in check. and the Hall incident. He definitly would be our #1 we've needed to compliment Moss and perhaps our new guys could learn a little about route running and using their body to shield the ball from defenders. He would be pissed with Dallas enough to play harder.

Dallas has their issues this year. I don't see them doing very well. They have lost a few peices to their puzzle and even though w/o T.O. the chemistry will be better they have lost a DE, CB, WR and I can't remember what else. WR and DE could be picked up in the draft but as most of us have figured out by now 1st yr WR don't amount to much. DE would be their best bet in the first round then either WR who is talented and tall or a shut down CB. In any case I think they screwed themselves even though they have Williams.

TheMalcolmConnection · 03-05-2009, 09:28 AM

Lovely, and in true NFC East form, the Cowboys will draft a future HOFer at WR and be set for years to come.

I am so damn cynical when it comes to teams drafting in the NFCE. It seems every year someone else makes an amazing move while we just keep treading water. Eagles got their's in Desean Jackson last year, now it's the Cowboy's turn. Ugh.

The knock on him his entire career has been sloppy route running and he will drop his fair share. Sounds like you're making excuses for him.

MTK · 03-05-2009, 09:30 AM

Kinda funny that some people are shocked or surprised over this move. This was rumored to be a possibility all offseason, where ya been?

Soup's Uncle · 03-05-2009, 09:45 AM

I know I'm going to be viewed as the social pariah here, but before I read that thing above about DeNagelo Hall, I figured we'd definitely be in the race for him. I could see Danny licking his chops and salivating over the idea of bringing him here...he is a Rosenhaus client, so ...you never know.

I hope to God he doesn't come here. I'd love to see him go to Baltimore and tear their team apart. Or maube the Ginas...I mean Giants.

This is bad news. This actually makes Dallas better.

I really wish we didn't have 12 million in cap space with him available. I am going to buy paper bags for the games if we sign him.

I disagree Pocket$, Dallas may be a more managable team without him but, from a pure talent standpoint they are far more worse off without him. IMO

He made Romo look a lot better than he is IMO.

I'm glad we have our 12 cap. I know you are too. I'm just saying, there is no way he will come here.

Plus we have Hall on the team

At this point although I'm sure someone might try, But to take a cap hit and lose a very talented player, That says he's not worth it and is another team gonna make the t.o. mistake again?

OUR TAKE: ‘SKINS, GIANTS TO BATTLE FOR OWENS
Posted by Mike Florio on March 5, 2009, 8:44 a.m. EST
We’ll have plenty to say throughout the day about the stunning decision by the Cowboys to dump receiver Terrell Owens.

Here’s the first thing that comes to mind — his next destination.

And we’ve got a feeling that he’ll continue his tour of the NFC East.

It’s the Redskins and the Giants, we predict, who could be vying for his services.

Let’s start with the Giants.

The Giants learned the hard way late last year that having a receiver who can draw double coverage is far more important than having two running backs who can gain 1,000 yards each.

Sure, they were burned by Plaxico Burress, and on the surface they might not be interested in signing a guy like Owens, who has been a problem in the past — and that’s an understatement.

But, frankly, the Giants didn’t bat an eye about signing defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, despite the fact that he flies the only red flag T.O. doesn’t: a criminal record.

And New York admittedly chased defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who likes his cars fast and his cleats sharp.

So, given the potential benefits that T.O. can provide on the field, it would be very easy for the Giants to justify giving him a chance, especially if he agrees to a contract that protects the team against any bad behavior.

The Redskins would be interested even if they weren’t in a position to twist the tails of their Texas rivals. It’s Terrell Owens, for crying out loud. A big-name player, available to be signed by a team that collects them like football cards.

For the same reasons that the ‘Skins were willing to give up a package that could have been worth two first-round picks last year for erratic and emotional Bengals receiver Chad Johnson, owner Daniel Snyder will pounce on the chance to upgrade a so-so receiving corps with a guy who knows the West Coast Offense as well as any receiver.

We give the Redskins a little more of an edge on this one, because: (1) they’ll be willing to pay more money; and (2) the Giants ultimately could decide to back off not based on attitude but on age. Owens is a temporary fix; the Giants are likely hoping for something that adds value for more than a year or two.

That said, there are some wild cards in this equation. The Raiders have long been regarded as a team that could take a chance on Owens. The Ravens tried to get him several years ago, and linebacker Ray Lewis recently gushed about the guy. The Jets let one of their starting receivers become a free agent last week, and the guy just signed with a new team on Thursday. The Vikings run the West Coast Offense that Owens knows so well, recently swung and missed on T.J. Houshmandzadeh, and could easily sell to the fans a flirtation with Owens by pointing to the fact that, unlike the Love Boat crew or even defensive end Jared Allen, Owens has never gotten in trouble with the law.

Regardless of who it is, the guy still has some football left in him. And he’d surely love nothing better than to continue his career in the NFC East, where he’d face the Eagles twice and the Cowboys twice.

PLEASE...........say it aint so!!!!

T.O. is still a great talent. He is just insufferable as a teammate.

Has anyone considered signing him but only allowing him to be with the team on game days?

"OK, T.O., here's the deal: All you have to do is show up on gameday in uniform in time to warm up and play the game. There's no need for you to move from Dallas to here. Just fly to the city where we're playing each week. You can get dressed at your hotel. We'll send somebody to your hotel to pick you up for the game. After the game, we'll take you right back to your hotel so you can change out of your uniform and then we'll take you to the airport. Study this playbook, keep in shape, and we'll see you on opening day!"
