No point in speculating. Parcells staying would have been the only chance of that happening. JJ sniffs TO's jock on a daily basis.if they did the right thing and got rid of this buttholewho would pick him up?i think hes getting real close to not having any takers if he gets released

I'm guessing that there's probably a market for a guy that led the league in receiving TDs three times including this past season.

Perhaps.Some might suggest this guy comes with a little baggage, though, no?

Yeah, I can't imagine why teams repeatedly can't wait to get rid of him, either.Im not sure why Dallas would release TO. He didnt play that bad for them this year.
BTW: You're right...he didn't play that bad for them this year. He didn't play all that well, either. He certainly wasn't as good as he tells you he is.
seriously.all he does is score touchdowns.Yeah, I can't imagine why teams repeatedly can't wait to get rid of him, either.Im not sure why Dallas would release TO. He didnt play that bad for them this year.

And throw his quarterbacks under the bus.
And celebrate for 15-yard penalties that compromise his teams' ST/DEF.
And mug before the cameras as an attention whore.
But, yeah, other than that, he'll score you a few TDs in totally unsatisfying fashion.
Signed, every team that he has ever played for.
He was better than any other WR for dallas this year. Dont know if jerry is in the mood to let his best wr go for nothing.Yeah, I can't imagine why teams repeatedly can't wait to get rid of him, either.Im not sure why Dallas would release TO. He didnt play that bad for them this year.

Again, I'm not disagreeing with you, but I suspect that there will be at least two teams that will see this differently and with blinders see only the positives and get in a bidding war over Owens. And one team will drop out of the bidding but the other one will drive the price up on their own.It's EXACTLY like fantasy football. Eleven owners pretty much know that you can wait forever to draft a kicker. But someone will almost always want to get all his starters before he drafts his backups, so that team will take Neil Rackers in the 8th round. There's no accounting for stupidity.And drop touchdowns.And throw his coaches under the bus.seriously.all he does is score touchdowns.Yeah, I can't imagine why teams repeatedly can't wait to get rid of him, either.Im not sure why Dallas would release TO.

wonder why the eagles and SF were in the mood to let their best receiver go
I know TO was a distraction before the season started but to be honest, I dont recall hearing that much about him afterwards. The biggest problem is the stupid media hounding the coach everyday hoping for some dirt to write a story.last year there werent that many takers when he got cut from the eaglesi can only think of two teams that really considered himHe was better than any other WR for dallas this year.

Surely you're kidding. Owens is a certified nutjob, but he is one of the top 10 receivers in the NFL (at least) and does nothing but produce at an incredibly high level when he plays. Even with a messed up hand.Putting Owens on a squad is definitely a risk, but I don't see it as being stupid. The Eagles finally made it to the Super Bowl when Owens showed up, and he helped turn the Cowboys offense around this year. With all the off the field stuff that went down with Owens, I think he really helped the Cowboys out on the field this season and helped them make the playoffs.I can see plenty of reasons why owners would want to gamble on this guy and it doesn't seem stupid to me - there are at least 64 starting WR spots out there. In how many of those situations would Owens be an upgrade, most likely a significant one?Comparing Owens to a kicker in FF is way off.

They certainly would deserve each other.

I don't think any team is in any kind of mood to let their best player at a certain position go for practically nothing. But, that's exactly what the Eagles did a couple years ago. And, look at them this year...they had every bit as productive a season passing the ball (and overall offense) without TO in 2006 as they had with him in 2004. It wouldn't be the end of the world for Dallas to release him, and I think it'd be a rather nice breath of fresh air to get rid of him now before it gets out of hand, like it did in PHI and SF.He was better than any other WR for dallas this year.

I beg to differ. I'll take Terry Glenn over T.O. every day of the week.He was better than any other WR for dallas this year.

The PK comparison was intended for when and how much value to assign to a guy. I suspect that perhaps 3/4 of NFL teams will not want anything to do with Owens. A few others may be scared off by his asking price or won't need him. That's where the fantasy football analogy comes in. Some team will likely pay him as if he has no flaws or issues and he will get pretty close to what he would get otherwise.If you can get a perfectly decent kicker in later fantasy rounds, why take one 10 rounds too soon. In Owens case, if there are no other suitors willing to pay even half what you are willing to sign him for, then that team will have spent money for nothing.

Thank you for clarifying, I have a much better comprehension of your point now.I somewhat agree. However at some point you have to step up and assign a value, somewhat in a vacuum. If you value Owens at all, you have to figure there are at least one or two others out there who do as well. You don't have a draft or an auction like you would in FF. You have to come up with an offer package without anything like perfect knowledge of what others are willing to spend. All it takes is one other team to express interest and you're off to the races - you probably won't know what they're actually offering or if they were just jacking the price up on you and weren't really going to sign him until it's too late. And unlike in FF there may not be a satisfactory substitute you can plug in as a contingency plan. You can't just figure on picking up Hines Ward if things don't work out with T.O. - your option if you don't get T.O. could be Eric Parker, there's a big drop off there. Given those things I can see how it becomes possible to overspend without being completely stupid.

He sure wasn't worth $10 million and I'm sick of hearing about his TD's. Most of the TDs I saw were little dink pass from a few yards out that MBII could just as easily run in. Dallas fans enjoy next year when TO is incharge.Im not sure why Dallas would release TO. He didnt play that bad for them this year.

Why would the Broncos go after TO with Javon Walker there? I can't see spending the money to get TO when it would be WAY better spent elsewhere...

Looks like 3 dinks. People can hate TO but the guy is still one of, if not the best wr's in the game. Don't forget that he did all this with hand problems that he's had off season surgery on.

I think the Raiders should sign him. That way they'd have BOTH of the big, whiney, headcase WRs. I can see it now...
*dream sequence*
"Aaron Brooks back to pass...he actually avoids the rush this time...he's going down the field to Moss..and IT'S BROKEN UP by T.O.!!! T.O. continues to lead the team in receptions by one over Moss..."
(I thought about doing it the other way, but there's no way Moss would be bothered with defense)
