to explain it better al the teams that want T.O have to say the ywant him before the waiver ends and the team with the worst record gets him that means if Dallas, Denver and Houston claim him he would go to houston.

My question is if he goes to houston can he then say I don't want to play with them or does he has to sign a contract that houston gives him what happens if he doesn't whant to sign with a bad team?

Here's what happens:

1) The Eagles waive him.
2) Teams opt to either claim him off waivers, or pass on him.
3) If any team claimed him off waivers, he goes to the worst team (determined by record) who claimed him. If this happens, he takes the contract he signed in Philly with him, his new team will have to pay him based on that contract.
4) If no team claims him off waivers, he becomes an unrestricted free agent and can sign with anyone.

Now I think someone will claim him, for sure. But the thing is he's already unhappy with his contract. He said so over the summer. Whoever picks him up will know that they have to deal with a huge headache.

Also, the Skins can't pick him up off waivers, we don't have the cap room. That 3.75 million base salary needs to fit under the cap, and prorated to the 6 remaining games, that's about 1.5 million or so. We don't have that much room. It's impossible for him to be a Redskin.
