ans4e64 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Parcells allegedly hated TO. Why, because he bashed him in the media? He does that with all his star players, and always has. Its a tactic, it doesn't mean he hates the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreed82 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 ESPN News just had a breakdown that showed the list of teams that told Mortensen they weren't interested. Every team found their way onto the list except...........Oakland and Tennessee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOOBY Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 T.O. would fit in perfectly in Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonawanda Troy Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 BUT WHY ARE YOU PICTURING US? How about the Dolphins? They have actually struggled to find a receiver... not to mention Parcells was the only person to get T.O. to shut his trap... The Tuna never wanted TO. The Dolphins need a WR but the Parcell's would never take him. It has to be a team that is desperate, not a team putting it together. Do you know anything besides Patriots Suck or what?

Buftex Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Why wouldnt that team be Oakland? I think they might be talking about Tennessee... they definitely need a receiver or two, and are a playoff caliber team. One thing I am sure of, it is not the Bills. I think, when the dust settles, TO ends up in one of these cities: 1- Tennessee (TO returns to the south, where his mouth might learn to relax, and he could really help the Titans) 2- Oakland (it is just an obvious pick) 3- San Diego (if he is "right" he could help them take that ever widening "next step") 4- Denver (Cutler would give TO back whatever he gives, not like that wuss Romo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way. Oakland, San Diego maybe. I would put us 2nd in line. In fact if I were Ralph I would write the check today for $7,000,000 bonus, $2,000,0000 salary this year and a $7,000,000 salary next year on a 2 year deal. I think TO would raise our scoring average by 4 to 5 points a game. If he implodes you boot his a$$. If it works he grabs 14 TDs, Evans gets 10 and we win more games!

Tipster19 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 I wish we did get TO. Could you imagine just watching him in our division games alone?! Picture when we play Miami and New England and watching TO play against the Tuna and Moss would be priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cowboys are setting T.O. free. Don't look for the Titans to try and corral him. It won't happen. A source this morning confirmed my initial feelings when I heard the news Wednesday night -- the Titans have no interest in the controversial receiver. Terrell Owens has been a headache everywhere he's been, and the last thing the Titans need is another headache. Yes, they could still use help at the receiver position, and yes, Owens is talented. But he's not worth it. He's not worth the risk of dividing the locker room, and being a daily distraction. The Titans dealt with that already with Pacman for a few years. So the Titans will pass, no questions asked. The big question is: Will anyone give T.O. another shot?

crazyDingo Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Said one anonymous AFC insider, "Clearly we would like a player of his caliber, but we don't have him and we'll go from there.

Why would you pay him $9M this year when no other teams are interested? Wherever he signs, he'll get an incentive-laden contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipster19 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think that it might be time to flash the GrahamLight. Hopefully Tim Graham can shed a little light on the TO situation and confirm if the Bills are at all interested. C'mon BatGraham, where are you?

Wherever he signs, he'll get an incentive-laden contract Lee Evans has a $9,870,000 cap number and he only caught 3 TD passes. It's just like Manny Ramirez, no body wanted to pay him but every one wants him batting in their line-up. So, he got paid and so will TO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 ...or the Pats*? The Pats arent likely to pay him, already have two solid starters, and traded for a WR today to be their #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
