Official-Cowboys release Keyshawn (1 Viewer)

Per Clarence Hill 103.3

Hill:

From what I understand the Cowboys are not going to give Key the money. Not because they think he is not worth it for this year, but for future years. They don't want a new deal with Key.

You can connect the dots... it would appear that TO will be here. There is little chance that Glenn will stay healthy two straight years. Who are you gonna throw the ball to? You HAVE to connect the dots.

TO is egocentric. He certainly is going to make some money in some city.

TO costs himself money by his actions. He "Loves me some me"

Key wants to stay in Dallas but he understands it's a business. He knows he will get another job in the NFL.

Key can get more than 2.5... AB did.

Key won't ask for the same kind of money as TO, but the Cowboys have to decide what is best for them.

The question is whether TO will be happy in this offense. I don't think so. Parcells did change his offense in New England, but that was a different type of team.

TO wants to win, but he wants to win a certain way... with himself catching the ball.

We don't really know how TO is in the locker room. The Philly writers don't like him and all of the drama. We will probably find out soon.

I bet TO lands somewhere nobody expects him to land.
I think he has a good chance at going to Denver.I don't think that he will go to the ATL though. I think that it is too big a risk for management to take. They finally get the top WR for Vick and the Falcons still have no passing game!

Actually, I would think the Philly writers would love him as he gives them lots of print.

YAWN!!!This is nothing more than Philly trying to stir up last second interest.

So you believe the story?? Is the post by Cowboys#1 the "gist" or the actual text of the news??
 
I have a hard time believing Parcells will throw one of his guys under the bus while they still have game left. Key still has some game.

I'll believe it when I see it regarding Key getting cut.

Yes, I believe the story. Word for word from what I remember. Local paper reporting the same info. Word is that Key we be cut by 3:00pm central today.
 
the gist of the article was that they were trying to give TO a deal that would entice him, and give the eagles something in return so that they would trade him.

the eagles part is easy, its the negotiating thats the hindrance.

with less than 2 hours to go i strongly doubt KC will be able to do it and i think the 2 places TO lands is in Dallas or Denver

:confused: Local paper is reporting what? That KC is trying to swoop in with a last minute trade offer for Owens? Or that Johnson will be cut today?

Hey Ridgelake, what's being reported is, the Cowboys don't mind giving Key a new contract for next season, but they can't see givng a 30+ WR a 3 or 4 year extension which is what Key is wanting (according to the reports).Jean-Jacques Taylor of the Dallas Morning News is reporting this.........he's usually right on the money with his reports.

KC has to know that they would lose out to Dallas and Denver in a bidding war, why not just make the trade and negotiate later?

Both, I'll see if I can find what KC has offered Philly, I read it somewhere this morning, they are trying to make a deal with Philly so that TO won't become a FA. If it's not posted when I get back (I'm a little hungry), I'll post it here, if no one else has it posted.

Denver is not in the bidding like everyone believes they are, it's between Dallas and KC, this too was in an artcle I read this morning........the owner of the Broncos said that they are not in the TO sweepstakes like everyone has been reporting.

That was straight from Jerry's mouth from what I understand. I agree Ridge it makes no sense to release Key unless you have a contingency. Which could be anything.I do agree that giving Key 2-3 year deal is a mistake. Release....re-sign to a 1 year deal? Something is up.

Jerry Jones will not allow Daniel Snyder all the publicity. T.O will take all the headlines away from Snyder and then Sam Madison will suffer trying to cover T.O. I am a huge Cowboys fan and I was not happy with the T.O parade on the star, but if he makes the Boys a contender than I'm aboard the T.O wagon.

That could work, as long as they don't lowball him. If they don't, they'll be in the same situation the Eagles were. I think a team would be better off winning the bidding war for him than trading for him and trying to convince him that $X million is "all he would have gotten". If you let the market set his value, you will probably get him happier and/or cheaper.

 
From another board.........random speculation....

Reports out of a few Philly radio stations right now indicate that the Eagles are rumored have come to the conclusion that they won't be able to trade T.O. for anything of great value and that they plan to release him within the hour. Papers should be at NFL HQ shortly after 3:00pm EST.

 
this was all I could find

The Eagles must release him today and barring a trade, they will do just that. The Chiefs are likely and willing at this point to give the Eagles a 6th or 7th round draft pick to give them an exclusive window to work out a contract. The Eagles don’t want anything to do with Owens and are somehwhat interested in where he ends up in 2006.

The Eagles have a solid relationship with the Chiefs organization and I’m told they’d rather see him go to Kansas City than to the Dallas Cowboys, the other team on the radar screen.

I agree with you, but Dallas can (and will) pay more than KC, no matter what his market value is. I don't see any way he can end up in KC UNLESS they make a trade for him in the next 1.5 hours.

KC would easily be outbid by Dallas, for example, if Owens were a free agent.

Again why? Because owner is not going to spend the money or because of cap reasons. Just curious.
 
I heard it from quality sources that the Jets will be going for TO. It seems that Pennington was fed up early last year with his WRs not being able to catch up to his long ball. :lmao:

Mostly cap. If Keyshawn is cut, there will be lots of money to play with in Dallas.

You know, I never thought about this part of the equation.....KC wont see Philly for three seasons(played them in '05), SB appearances not withstanding, so it makes much more sense to deal him to KC, and not chancing it that he signs with DAL after his release.KC and PHI do have a good working relationship......

I have been looking on all sorts of KC media and fan boards and I cant find any big revealing scoop yet.

Unless Owens wants to go there and told KC this already why would KC risk this circus. They are on record as saying they just want a 1 year deal. I am sure him and Drew would rather hit the open market to maximize TO's dollars. TO...will be released this afternoon..end of story....imo of course

Is he known for making his own life hell and jeopardizing his teams future by giving up draft picks and a roster bonus for nothing?
 
I have a hard time believing Parcells will throw one of his guys under the bus while they still have game left.  Key still has some game. 

I'll believe it when I see it regarding Key getting cut.

I would not mind giving Key a 2 year deal. But 3-4 is unrealistic unless they are filler years. Maybe its just me, but the guy has about a $3.5 mil cap number for 06. Keep him and play him. BP can handle his BS. :shrug: Well, its all for discussion anyway. We'll find out in an hour whats up.

If the information out there is correct, they would not be giving up much as far as draft picks are concerned. Also, I thought I saw in the same rumor that a contract was also agreed upon. If this is the case than neither of the things you suggest would be correct. My comment refered only to the fact that is was stated that Peterson would only give a 1 year incentive based contract. Do I believe that he may not have been completely honest with the media in that matter? Yes.

I could be wrong...but, my understanding is that if you trade for TO that you have to pay him the roster bonus he is due today+ the rumoured 6th or 7th round draft pick. I see no reason why TO and his agent would be down with this. That is all I am trying to say.TO is way better off hitting the market and hoping for the Cowboys or another team over paying for him.

If they trade for him and his current contract, it makes no difference what Owens thinks of it. The player doesn't have to accept a trade for it to be completed.

Agreed, but what is the upside for KC????? If Owens threatens to not report ala Baltimore.Pay a roster bonus of a couple million.

Give up a 6 or 7th pick

:banned:

 
I think if KC trades for him they are responsible for paying him the bonus that he is due. That is why no one has made a trade for him.

I guess my understanding of this rumor is different. I took it as a sign and trade type of thing. OR trade and sign type of thing. Eagles trade for a low round pick, keep him out of divisional rivals hands, and the Chiefs have a deal worked out with TO to restructure already worked out. This way they don't have to pay the roster bonus and restructure.
