Sorry to all who drafted him this year, ugh.

Wow, was hoping he had one last season in him...

Buh bye

 

[saintfool]

yeah, if true, he's done. i was hoping there was enough in the tank to make him useful if nothing else.

The lockout cost him a payday. I dont see anyone signing him now. Maybe he'll be in a broadcast booth somewhere this year.

Looks like he is now WW material hahaah. Good thing i traded him at the draft a month ago for 2.8

If he doesn't play in the NFL, wonder if he'll head over to that UFL ? Maybe he could be Donald Trumps sidekick.

This has to end the career.

You can tell we're in a lockout because the TO ACL injury has dominated the airwaves on Sirius NFL, the NFL Network and ESPN. Ultimately I have a hard time imagining he'll come back from this and play. As many have said elsewhere, it's not so much about his ability to recover from the surgery, but he'll need time to get back to 100% effectiveness, and then you blink and before you know it he's 39 years old. The question, as with most great aging athletes, is whether HE accepts that fate. I suspect he'll at least attempt to play again. Let's remember that even Jerry Rice went to a Broncos training camp and had to be told it was over.

One of the things I find fascinating is this talk about TO and whether he's a "first ballot" Hall of Famer. Maybe it's just whitespace for me, but I put no lasting value on whether someone is inducted in the first year eligible. Can many of you remember who got in on the first vote after a few years have passed? It strikes me as the media's way of bringing Owens prima donna history into the conversation, because they can't credibly argue that he's not a Hall of Famer, so the argument now becomes, "well he's a Hall of Famer, but his attitude will keep him from being a FIRST BALLOT Hall of Famer!" Who cares?

He's a stone cold lock for the Hall, love him or hate him.

Just seen a report from Drew, that T.O. plans to be ready to play in August after recovering from his April surgery. I'll believe it when I see it.

Has anyone heard an update on this? I heard Rosenhaus say he'll be running in August. Seems far fetched from the earlier reports that he won't be back until December. But I don't think he could completely make that up - could he? Anyone else think we'll see him in September/October?

TO in Aug-no way...TO in Nov for a potential playoff team that needs something at the WR position to put them over the top-sure.

The reason that he's such a successful agent is due to his ability to sell.

So is TO a good candidate to buy low now in hopes he'll help someone during the fantasy playoffs?
