ebartender Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I keep hearing on local radio that the Jets have interest in signing T.O. next year. Anyone else hear this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Bring him in. and bring in favre while you're at it, who wants to keep playing but isn't really wanted in Green Bay. It's new york - stuff like this can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Interested to hear Rovers take on this one. I have litttle faith that TO will go to a team without a legitimate passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cherni Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I haven't heard anything on local about TO to the Jets. Interesting thought though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitem0nkey Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I have litttle faith that TO will go to a team without a legitimate passing game. 1241847[/snapback] I agree but if im a team with a good offence, i dont need to ruin it by having TO. If i have a bad offence I will gamble on adding TO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yeah, TO wants to go to a team with the QB with the weakest arm in NFL, who is coming off shoulder surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) I think T.O would wait and see the QB situation in NY before deciding to go to the Jets. If Chad (Linguini arm) Pennington gets the nod T.O probably wouldnt go. edit to add: Capn hook beat me to it and took the steam out of my Linguini arm reference Edited December 30, 2005 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's new york - stuff like this can happen. 1241832[/snapback] The Jets seem to be committed to Pennington for now. Don't ask me why, I think he stinks. TO isn't coming to NY if Chad is throwing the ball, not a shot. Favre would NEVER come to NY. He's a small town guy who has stated that he won't go somewhere where the expectations are unreasonable for him. NY would certainly expect the Brett Favre of old.

whitem0nkey Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 my bears could use a nice WR, but as a fan i dont want him on my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I have litttle faith that TO will go to a team without a legitimate passing game. 1241847[/snapback] He went to Philly before the NFL let him out of Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Favre isn't wanted in Green Bay? Go there and tell everyone that and see what happens. 1241858[/snapback] he's obviously wanted by the fans. i was referring to management. and is unlear if they want him or not. poor wording on my part.

blaw23 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) I don't see Herm Edwards putting up with a guy like TO. Herm strikes me as a no nonsense type of guy and TO is far from no nonsense. Although maybe Herm would whip him into shape. How about Minnesota, they have cap space and could use a No. 1 receiver. They dealt with Randy Moss who I would say is not as much of a donkey as TO but nonetheless he would probably fit right in there. I have no evidence to back me up, as this is pure speculation. I just see that as a possible fit. Edited December 30, 2005 by blaw23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I think the main question is what options Owens really has. I would strongly suspect that he would - willingly - only go to a team with a great QB and offense that he could supply the "missing" ingredient. But most of the really good teams have strong management teams that would not want to mess with him I would guess. I think just as important to this is what Owens would think seeing how Randy Moss went to a sub-average team and what it did to his production. The wildly entertaining thing about Owens is that the very best of all options for him was to go to the team that he just screwed over.

He'll be playing somewhere of course but I guarantee there will be a divide in the lockerroom. He's a me first guy and that doesn't fly too well in the NFL.

Ralph Furley Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 my bears could use a nice WR, but as a fan i dont want him on my team. 1241892[/snapback] Agree 100%. Keep him away from Chicago!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebartender Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yeah, but the problem is that the teams that are going to be desperate enough to want to sign him are probably also the teams with the most problems offensively... 1242267[/snapback] And this is the beauty of this whole situation. He will go from a team that throws the ball a ton, has a Pro-Bowl QB, and has a good chance of being a contender to a team desperate for either some offense or a guy who will help sell tickets. It would be great to see him play for a team that wins 4-6 games next year. Especially if the Eagles bounce back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if the Eagles bounce back. 1242276[/snapback] There is no really good team that has a "missing piece" that TO could fill. And there is certainly no really good team that will take on a proven headcase like TO is. So TO will spend the rest of his career in some also-ran. It would be interesting to see him go to Atlanta and get over and underthrown by Mike Vick. That should have T.O. longing for a reconcilation with Donovan McNabb by the time next preseason is over.
