As a fan of football, i hope T.O. and destructive players like him never play another down.

Maybe they will let girls play soon. I've never seen "destructive behaviour" from TO. Just a guy with a desire to play and win. There are a lot worse players on the field with a more questionable character than TO. Where ever he goes, that team will be better. Payton and TO would be extreamly dangerous. And exciting. As long as he isn't in our lockeroom. I don't care. He's a great football player and very entertaining

What TO does that is destructive, and it is subtle, is he builds a fast tight camaraderie with the QB and is vocal in his praise at first. This is why he is usually great in his first year. But then, over the next years, rather than being team oriented he becomes self oriented, and thinks he is being excluded. Because of the tightness at first a core group will start seeing it from his point of view (this year it was several receivers and one or 2 defensive guys) and questioning the QB/Coach's commitment to winning (if they aren't getting him the ball they must not be committed to winning). and in the last year(s), his core group really starts to focus around him and his struggles. And by then the distraction is full blown. Also, in the final years the media acts as an enhancer and speeds up the process.

Of course that is just a guess and i could be way off base

I think your on the right track CRedskinsRule, But I think JJ also liked the idea of signing TO because of his character and helped fuel the flames. He enjoyed the attention TO brought to the Cowboys and has admitted the attention is good for the team. But because of the late season disaster. Which I blame entirely on Romo. He and his team used TO as a scapegoat. IMO.

Im quoting myself here from a earlier post:

Owens caught more touchdown passes than any NFL receiver over the last three years and was a big part of Tony Romo's emergence from an unknown backup to a starlet-dating Pro Bowl quarterback with a $67 million contract.

The Romo-Owens relationship appeared to fray late this past season, with Owens upset about everything from game plans to pass distribution. He had 213 yards in one game, but cracked 100 yards in only one other game, the otherwise forgettable finale.

"I know it takes a lot of pressure off Romo," Hurd said. "A guy like him demands the ball and you want to get him the ball. Now he can look at all of us and see which one is open on any given play. ... I don't think that was a problem. That's just what could and might start happening."

Jones was slow to go along. Just a few weeks ago, he indicated Owens wasn't going anywhere and firmly said the idea of locker-room problems were "a figment of the result. You didn't hear about those things when we were winning."

Next year is Romo's turn if his play does'nt prove it was TO's fault. IMO

When Romo's teamates say now that TO is gone ''Now he can look at all of us and see which one is open on any given play. ... I don't think that was a problem. That could and might start happening'' I think thats saying a lot about where the blame lands and how much confidence they have in Romo.

When JJ said "You didn't hear about those things when we were winning" says a lot about how much of this BS about TO was manufactured by the media and guys on the team afraid of losing there jobs.

Cutting TO was the easy answer and everyone agrees with it. "OF COURSE"

I can be way off here. But probably not to far. IMO

^ I agree much like WWE the NFL needs it's balance of faces and heels in order to make the story lines flow.

While being an above average receiver, T.O. made his own bed by alienating
himself from his coaches and team.... Maybe a hard edged system would help
him re-ignite his career.

^ Ha Ha. Not much else to talk about right now. Anyway it will be interesting as always.

Cerrato: 'No Interest' In T.O.

The Redskins are not interested in signing mercurial wide receiver Terrell Owens. The team remains committed to developing their young group of wide receivers, Vinny Cerrato said on Thursday.
thank god for vinny

Looks like TO and the Bills are working on a deal. I guess Dick Jauron was lobbying for him. If Marshawn Lynch can stay out of jail and Trent Edwards continues to improve, they could be a pretty good offense with TO and Lee Evans as the WRs.

Unsurprisingly, the interest for Owens seems to be exclusively with small market teams who want to get a big ticket player at league minimum prices.

And he's a nice investment as long as he doesn't feel like his job is secure.

Plus, if his job is secure, at this age, your scouting dept. has overvalued T.O. the player.

[Gmanc711]

I honestly really really hope the Bills sign him. From the area and not being a Bills fan, I would love to watch this unfold up here... and like him or not, TO will draw allot of interest, which is something the Bills need with their financial situations & possibly moving to Toronto... I would hate to see them leave Western NY, even tho I'm not a fan.

no way no way we have already spend to much money on players T.O. is good but is not right for us, it is time the redskins use their heads and go to the draft and spend money on new talent
