Cowboys cut T.O.

As much as I think that the environments that T.O. has been (in somewhat dysfunctional teams) have catered to his selfishness, I would hate to see him go to New England, do well, and act like nothing has happened.

I personally think Bill Belichick will take T.O. and they're going to blow up the league. And after destroying three franchises, T.O. will come out unscathed. If it is true that there are teams interested, it shows that this league is willing to let talented clowns continue with their antics.

Suspend him for what exactly?

There's no rules against being a jackass.

Sadly there aren't. I'm surprise that there aren't any league code of conduct that would punish this type of behavior.

Whoever signs he would be smart to put some clause about his behavior. But it only takes one team to take him 'as is' to make this impossible. Knowing Drew Rosenhaus, he's not going to get T.O. signed for cheap anywhere.

Teams can police themselves. A la Gruden kicking Keyshwan Johnson off the Bucs, Andy Reid kicking TO off the Eagles, Steve Smith getting suspended two games for putting a dent in Ken Lucas' face, etc.

True, but I bet someone is going to pick him up and give him a good contract. Initially when all these teams came out and said no to him, I was hoping that it would continue like that and he would eventually sign somewhere for the vet min. Now that there are apparently teams interested in him, I bet Rosenhaus will find a team to give him a good contract.

I think he'd retire before he'd play for the vet min.

Arrington riding the bench. What worst thing can you think of better then sitting a player on the bench in uniform watching the team try to accomplish something with out you.
