Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)

Hey lets try something new and not spend money on a d-bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been saying for awhile he will be here at some point. If you give him an incentive based contract with little guaranteed money I think it would be a great way to have some better competition for Thomas and Kelly. If you can sign a 400 year old wide receiver why not T.O.? Yeah yeah everyone says he's a head case but i think he has mellowed a lot since he was younger. He had 800+ yards in a crappy Buffalo offense last year and was well behaved.

Easier said than done, who's to say he wants that sort of deal? He's just a camp injury away from getting some decent $$.

I know I'm gonna get slammed for the thread, but its the right move...
Although he has been a douche in the locker room in the past, he doesn't get in trouble in public. Why not go after T.O.?


Id rather have a guy that messes up his own life getting arrested and suspended, then a guy that does stupid things in the locker room and messes things up for the whole team. Wouldnt you?

What did TO do in Buffalo last year that was good enough to erase everybody's memory? I just can't see this guy in a skins uniform even if he plays for free.

Seen a few posts recognizing the fact that "T.O. was a model citizen in Buffalo".

Yeah well, look at his history, he is ALWAYS the model citizen in his first year with a team. He was in Philly, he was in Dallas, he was in Buffalo. Just seems Buffalo learned from other teams not to keep him around long enough to start his rants.

What happened in his SECOND year in Philly? What happened his SECOND year in Dallas?

Owens is aging, his skills are diminishing, and he still drops balls a lot. Can he contribute on the feild? Yes, but not like he used to do.

Owens will sit tight until there is a training camp injury to a WR some where in the league and then he will cash in on a one year deal.

No one will sign him to the deal he wants, he is looking at a mid level contract at best. Why do you think he signed in Buffalo so quickly last year? He knew when he got the offer, no one else was going to offer him 6 mill. And that is still the case.

However, he will get paid more when a training camp injury somewhere makes him more valuable to a team.

Dont go after Owens, there is youth in Washington and a much more seasoned QB.

So...we'll sign him for one year. Problem solved

Honestly, I don't see how one is better than the other.

I was just saying that based on my assumption that he would love to play with McNabb and exact revenge on the Cowboys and Eagles twice a year. If that theory is correct I would think he would rather take that over another team he may not be as motivated to play for. Plus I think Smoot is right, sign him for one year, problem solved. lol

Alot of people are hype about the idea of us getting Vincent, but why not T.O.? When you look at the numbers of the two players over the past 3 years Owens is superior and should be a perfect pick up for 2 years. This would give shanny the opportunity to draft a reciever of his choice.
Uh, no. Not close.

So...we'll sign him for one year. Problem solved
Now if you could just take care of his age, diminishing skill and dropped passes, you'd be onto something.
