Ya right, I'd bet anything. Who would you rather have, Marvelous Marvin or TO? It's not even close.

I'm not saying it hasn't worked for them. My point is, however, that the Dallas Cowboys have decided that his character issues are more detrimental than his field production. That speaks volumes about his value around the league. Even a team like the Raiders have emphasized team chemistry more, even if they keep thugs, criminals, and generally wacky characters.
The Dallas Cowboys have decided that T.O.'s ego is too big for them to handle. That's ******* insane.

I bet there are at least 15-20 GM's in the league that wouldn't take T.O. for free.

It'd make the most sense. They just tell him straight up: "dont **** around for one season and you'll have a ring." Randy, Wes & TO? Yikes.

I'd agree with that, but a team that has strong leadership (which the 'Boys clearly didn't) could handle a player like that.

The Titans make the most sense... But I don't see the organization bringing in an Owens type player.

I'm sticking with the Pats as my guess. I wouldn't be in the least bit shocked if that is where he goes. It just makes too much sense.

everyone eventually tires of TO, its his nature, He's a douche today, He was a douche yesterday, and he'll be a douche tomorrow, He'll be a douche in 2 weeks, it'll be news when he ISN'T a Chemistry killing, egotistical, crybaby pain in the buttocks who by the way, has no ring.
that being said, He'll end up in Oakland, bet on it

1. Cowboys getting Peppers is just ludicrous and it wouldnt happen. Why do you think Dallas inst spending any money this off-season? Because, they dont have any. Dallas is right up against the cap and Demarcus Ware is about to become the highest paid defensive player in the game.
2. As for T.O., I've always loved him. The guy is just a genetic freak, an absolutely outstanding talent who I'll always love to watch play the game. But, I was right on board with this move. I could have went either way with it becuase, that lockeroom was seriously a problem. He became a big problem, like he always does and you could see that there were advantages of getting rid of him. I didnt think it was going to happen but again, I think it's a good move. Roy Williams still scares the hell out of me as a #1 option, though. But, hopefully we can turn the page and finally see a heavy dose of Miles Austin and Sam Hurd. I think you have to applaud Jerry for even making this move because, it didnt seem like he had any interest in doing it. As far as team chemistry goes, I think this is going to help out tenfold once the dust clears and Romo/Garrett no longer have to worry about a constant headache constantly screaming about not getting the ball. He was distracting. Hopefully though, with our trio of backs and crop of still very talented, but young receivers, Jason Garrett, will get as creative as he possibly can. We sure arent light on talent now just because, we lost Owens, we have three starting caliber running backs, a decent coordinator shouldnt even have a problem making things happen in this offense. So all eyes will be on Garrett now.
I wish T.O. the best...I just wish he could just keep his mouth shut. Year one here we didnt see much of a problem, we saw a more mature T.O. but, that didnt last. As Emmitt says..."A leopard cant change his stripes". :)

Say I was a GM actually willing to sign him... I would not offer more than a 1 year deal.

The Titans won't even think about signing this dude. They've had their fill already with Pacman. Tampa Bay and Minnesota are my dark horses to sign him.

Chicago and Terrell Owens it makes perfect sense. He's now one of the best WR's on the market (although he'll be a pretty penny to sign him) and he can right now be the #1 WR on our team and we are a competitive team which the likes of the Raiders are not right now. He thinks he's still a #1 and he can be it. Plus it's a big market.

Ugh...no thank you. How long do you think it would take for him to get frustrated with Sage or Tarvaris throwing ducks at his feet?

lol, Titans. Besides the teams already burned by TO, there is literally not a more unlikely team in the NFL to look his way.

No doubt. But I'm just calling it like I see it.

Trent Dilfer just said he'd rather have Harrison than TO. He's more "dependable," and he was talking about them as receivers. That's an idiotic thing to say.

Not to mention he has some bad history with Major Dad.
