Did Mcnabb open the door for TO?

tryfuhl · 04-20-2010, 11:00 AM

Shanahan mentioned that if a guy like Owens is available later in the offseason we'd start taking more looks.. but I wouldn't be surprised to see us get him if McNabb is trying to work them into it. I just hope that Owens doesn't think that he's automatically the number 1 coming in.

Just because you are a part of an episode you get paid to do, doesnt mean you are bbfls with TO.

Guess I'll add the video again that I edited out of my original thread starter since it's no longer "misleading"
D.C. Sports Bog - McNabb plays hoops with T.O.

McNabb and Owens recently talked about the possibility of reuniting while recently shooting an episode for a television show in Los Angeles. The "Pros v. Joes" episode features McNabb and Owens playing together on the same basketball team. The episode is scheduled to air in July on Spike.
Sources: Donovan McNabb encouraging Washington Redskins to consider signing Terrell Owens - ESPN

Im cringing at the thought of this........ It sounds like the Shanahan's arnt receptive to the idea. God i can only hope.

God I hope NOT. Let's bring in a 36 year old locker room cancer and further retard the development of Kelly and Thomas. That would be awesome. We're not a "player away" as they say. We already have a giant pain in the ass on defense. We need an influx of youth, not old jerks.

I'm glad Shanahan isn't biting on this one.

Its not like we decided Williams was a bad defensive coordinator, so we let him go. We decided not to hire him as a head coach, so there would have been no way to keep him here as a DC.

Ican't say i would be happy with this move. Although the last time Owens and Mcnabb played together they did make the superbowl the first year, but as we all know it did not end very well. I would think at this point in T.O.'s career he has matured to not be such a me guy, With the way that MS has handled the team thus far I would find it hard to beleive that TO could survive the Redskins plans if he did act out.

Another problem I have with this is the way that the National Media would put so much focus on our team. It creates problems and they also make up problems that do not exist. Which I for one can't stand. AH situation as an example. There is so much disinformation out there right now that it is very hard to see what is actually going on behind the scenes at Redskins Park right now.

what makes you think he isnt. by the sounds of it, hes just focused on the draft right now and we'll be looking at guys like adams and owens after the draft.

Kalisto2010 · 04-20-2010, 12:50 PM

I'm glad to hear that Shannahan is making it a priority to upgrade the WR position. Owens and Moss in McNabbs hands would be deadly.

Well, he told Ed Werder that the Redskins are not pursuing Terrell Owens. However, as you mentioned, things could change after the draft.

If we did sign Owens, it would probably just be a one year deal not unlike the one he got in Buffalo last year. My question is, would our offense really be that much better with him? I don't think he'd make us much more of a contender than we'd be without him. And then you have to consider the locker room issues. The guy is a gigantic pain in the ass. I just don't think the risk is worth the reward.

Larry Johnson, Willy Parker, Clinton Portis, Donovan McNabb, Terrell Owens... could we get a few more players with a ton of mileage? Are we trying to be the all 2005/2006 team?

GMScud · 04-20-2010, 01:04 PM

Werder also said "sources" told him that upgrading the WR position is a "big priority" for the team. I guess Shanny doesn't like Kelly and Thomas too much. Bummer.

SmootSmack · 04-20-2010, 01:11 PM

JLC hasn't said anything about TO coming to the Redskins...so it must not be true!

It's not a rumor I would get too worked up over at the moment. Several other things need to happen (or not happen) first.

GMScud · 04-20-2010, 01:11 PM

I just personally hope this doesn't happen. TO is probably my least favorite player of all time. The thought of having to cheer for him makes me cringe.

Thomas yes. Kelly? Sees him as potential trade bait to get something more out of another team.

Interesting. I never thought of Kelly as someone we'd trade. So you're pretty sure Shanny likes Thomas?

Maybe you all have already discussed it and I'm late but just a few min. ago on ESPN at the bottom where it scrolls it said "Redskins considering picking up/ signing T.O. I'd say apparently the issue between McNabb and T.O. is not as big as people think or both have moved on past it that they could work together again. I doubt the Skins would make such a move with out talking with McNabb and seeing if he would be able to work with the man again. Otherwise it would be a waist of time.

Plus this way he could point out to T.O. that it was he who helped get him a job again Anytime T.O. runs his mouth. LOL.
