Cowboys cut T.O.

[GMScud]

This is a great write up on why TO should be done in the NFL. My favorite line: He's a "malcontent with enough red flags to decorate every porch in China." LOL!!

This should spell the end for T.O. - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

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.

I think before he steps into any thing maybe he should look at players breaking the law. Like TO or not you do not ever hear of him getting into trouble or out getting drunk in bars (and thats not illegal). He is a head case but after that seems to be a decent person.

Eh. Just because he stays on the right side of the law doesn't mean he's not a slimy dude.

I just read the comment and was passing it along. I have been there to eat before and I would think considering where it is in DC and the level of service that can easily have "secert" guest there without anyone knowing. I bet a million bucks Obama has already eaten there. Plus I could see a waiter being seceritive there as well because he would fear his losing his job because of lose lips. I could imangine a waiter there probably makes six figures in a good year.

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.

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.

I think he will end up with the Colts or NE

Reading these updates are hilarious:

"There's no way he's coming here" from every rumored team.

Terrell Owens

I voted yes. And I would have voted yes when he left San Fran and when he left Philly. The guy doesnt have off the field issues that are illegal. He just wants to win and wants the ball. And when he has the ball hes been one of the best. Now yes he dropped a lot of passes last year but we really have the pieces in place that he could step in and help. We dont need him to be 115 catched, 1500 yds and 15 tds. But think of what Moss could do with him on the otherside. Maybe the guy really wants a ring and to come in as an older guy and contribute. Give the rookies another year or let them compete as the number 3 guy but I think he makes our offense so much more dynamic. And who cares about the money Snyder always figures that out. After cutting Taylor we have the money to sign him. And considering Philly and New York are big options for him Id much rather have him with me then against me.

Why should he play for vet-min? He's still one of the best WR's in the league. I hope he finds a team outside of the NFC East. And continues his career.From a fan of Football in general. I enjoy watching TO play.
