He wants to be payed like a top ten reciever, I can't see why he shouldn't. HE IS A TOP TEN WIDEOUT. Can we give him the money, I don't know. I know we can pay him what he wants, but can we fit him under the cap?

If you look at what he would bring to the team. ~Moss would no longer be double or triple teamed. He would free up the run for portis, and with weapons like that Rogers has no option but to succed and become better.

If we can keep Greg Williams here for next year, we would become a instant superbowl contender, can't deny the potiential

I would take TO no in a heart beat. Who cares if he runs his mouth. We would have the fastest receiver on one side, the most dominant possession receiver on the other, cooley always finding somewhere underneath and portis in the backfield...That would be amazing.

Completely off topic, and pardon the ignorance, but what exactly does "possession receiver" mean? I hear the term all the time, but I don't know what it means.

Thanks!

It's a guy that can catch the ball in traffic and keep the chains moving. Traditionally, a "possession receiver" isn't a big-play guy. Examples of possession guys would be Keyshawn Johnson, Wayne Chrebet circa 2000, and the ultimate would be Art Monk.

I wouldn't call TO a possession receiver because he really is dominant at catching balls in traffic and at catching balls on deep routes.

Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb definitely seem to care when TO runs his mouth. I think fans would be willing to listen to TO talk all he wanted if his talk didn't cause rifts in the locker room. That's the issue, and it shouldn't be ignored just because TO can bring big plays.

It appears to be the thought process of " some" youngsters today when it comes to troubled athletes. Somehow it dosen't seem to matter what type charachter the individual player is, as long as he can make plays on the field that's all that seems to matter. Well there is some of us who do not beleive that that is the most important thing when you have to have two sets of rules, one set for TO and one set for everybody else.

Check out Michael Wilbon's colum in today's Wash Post on Ron Artest.

Portis endorsed S.Moss coming to Washington and it worked out, even when everyone was pissed because he didn't come to the off-season pratice. Question: Simple yes or no, would you support T.O. in a Redskins Uniform?

"It's sad" eh? Freudian slip there wewhite? CP was invited to his party, what else is he going to say really?

But it's not like the Eagles are the first team TO has had issues with. Remember the Niners and even the Ravens. He can be a good teammate until things don't start going his way, and you never know when that would be or what would set him off.

I don't think we need him. By the way, how about the fact that he'll be 33 next season? That will probably factor into some teams' decisions

[hail_2_da_skins]

NO! H#LL NO! UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, NO!

TO is the biggest cancer in sports. He would completely undermine anything the coaching staff is trying to accomplish. Look at the wake he personnelly has created in San Francisco and Philadelphia.

[Master4Caster]

Donovan McNabb endorsed TO coming to the Eagles. That only worked one season. If the Skins were only one season away from the Super Bowl -- and they are not -- maybe you take the risk with a one year contract. I bet they can upgrade the receivers without the risk of dysfunction that Owens brings.

And think about this: say you sign Owens to a one year high incentive contract, about the second game that he's triple covered and the plays go to another receiver, are you ready for the reaction you will surely get? Be careful what you wish for.

I know TO is a basket case, but with Santana Moss and Terrell Owens on the same team? Who do you double team?

Moss, because TO has been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.

[Bozzy]

LOL Yeah... putting aside TO, we still need another WR that is of equal or greater value than Santana.

It puzzles me to no end how anyone can actually defend this guy.

:confused:

[gibbs4life]

T.O with the redskins,lets see i would think not.
he is a problem child and way too much ego to go with it ,too much baggage for me.no thanks.
i love his talent but other than that no thank you.he would be a helluva addition
to this team opposite of moss.

did i say no thanks,lol

A "possession receiver" describes a receiver who reliably catches short and mid-range passes designed to make first downs so that the offense may keep possession of the ball. Art Monk was considered a possession receiver. You could always go to him and he would always catch the ball no matter what. Gary Clarke was a big play receiver. You would go deep to him to get the score. (Of course, Monk would also go deep and Clarke could also catch the short ball.)

Among current Redskins, I would call Chris Cooley and James Thrash possession receivers.

Possession receivers don't seem to get elected to the Football Hall of Fame.
