Snyder has to be salivating and that is scary.
I am not sure that Campbell is a strong enough of a personality to deal with this guy. I also do not think they should risk alienating Hall. Even if Hall and Campbell publicly said that they wanted him I would be leary.
This really scares me because Owens still has enough talent for any team to justify signing him.
The only guarantee with Owens is that at some point he will wear out his welcome and your team will suffer greatly.
Why would Snyder be salivating? Snyder wanted nothing to do with T.O. the last time he was on the market and we needed a WR more then than we do now. What makes you think Snyder would change his mind on T.O. and go after him now?

T.O. would be just a good a pickup as Neon Deon...
I second, third, fourth retiring 81 and 28.

My logic is fairly simple. If we just parted ways with a 34 year old, soon to be 35 year old defensive end, who by all accounts is a stand-up guy. Why in the world would we sign a 35 year old wide receiver with baggage, a history of being divisive, and would command a nice chunck of money for a season or two?
The only way I see T.O. coming to D.C. is if our wideout corps has been depleted due to injuries come mid-season.

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.
Unfortunatly I know it does. :) I don't care either way. He's got talent, tall, and still fast. He would make us better at WR by drawing some of the double teams off of Moss or vice versa. I also know he would possibly destroy the team with bad chemistry. For those of you who don't like JC this might definitly set him back and your very own Colt might get his chance. lol. I really don't care either way though....he could help just as much as he could hurt.

The last time he was on the market, JOe Gibbs was running the show & he definitely did not want any part of To. I hope that Snyder isn't even thinking about it, but maybe he'll call Rosenhaus just to jack the price up for whoever signs him!
Something to add to this speculation that Florio didn't mention:
VINNY DRAFTED TO!
In fact Vinny mentioned it first in an interview once as his greatest find.

If we hadn't made a commitment to two new WRs, plus a receiving TE last spring and if we still had Gibbs who could control TO I'd definitely consider him. But now, even with some doubts about Kelly's knees and a still new head coach in Zorn, along with TO's age, I don't think he's the right fit here. He can still play though.
Giants makes sense for him. Other teams that could make sense are New Orleans, Tennessee, and the Vikings. Maybe even the Ravens and Colts.

Everyone, If your sticking around waiting to see if TO becomes a Skin. Your wasting your time.
1) We did'nt want him when we could have got him
2) He wants to play in the NFC East not the other way around
3) He would greatly hinder the development of Campbell (Demanding ball hog)
4) We just signed DeAngelo Hall to a lot of $,$$$,$$$ we dont risk shutting him down
5) He is without a doubt still one of the best WR in the league IMO. But, his age will catch him this coming season. He missed a lot of passes in 08'
6) He would hinder Moss and cause disruption with our WR's
7) We don't need him.
8) He would be distracted by Homo at Cowgirls games:)

Miami? kidding.
I hope he gets the Barry Bonds treatment and nobody picks him up, and espn will have to find something else to talk about.

Did Snyder want nothing to do with Owens or was that Gibbs?
Last year they wanted to give 2 #1 picks for Chad Johnson. Luckily, that didn't go down.
T.O. is better than Johnson and does not cost any picks.
Just stop, he's not coming here. And I doubt NY would want another head case WR either.
