TO in Washington?

sportscurmudgeon · 05-12-2005, 08:07 PM

I'd be surprised if the Eagles cut TO loose this year. I think it is advantageous to them to keep him on the roster - even if suspended - and amortize more of his signing bonus for another year to ease their cap hit. Crazy Canuck, what are the exact numbers here?

However, unless there is a whole lot of "kissing and making up", this will be TO's last year in Philly and he'll be available.

TO will be looking for the biggest possible pay-day in that case and it will be a real test of Danny Boy's resolve not to throw money at him. If Danny Boy was mesmeraized by the talents and accomplishments of Laverneaus Coles, what might happen to him and his checkbook if he actually had a real shot at TO. TO is a pain in the ass but he is an outstanding WR. At the moment, the three best WR talents in the league are R. Moss, TO and M. Harrison; all three have legit shots at being enshrined in Canton. Can Danny Boy resist that? Next off-season might be VERY interesting...

In a salary cap NFL you can't win with disgrutled money grubbers no matter how good they are. you need a " team with a sceam ". If Gibbs stays health we will be in for some great football and Dan Snyder will learn how to be an owner.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but the Eagles made it how many years in a row without TO? He didn't play in the NFC Championship game this year, so how was he THE reason? Yes, he contributed with Pro Bowl statistics, but by NO means would I say he IS the reason.

I think you have to give a lot of credit to the coach getting that team to play like a team.

Sorry, I basically repeated what you said.

I've said it before in other TO posts. If you have the kind of team the Eagles have, and STILL don't win the Super Bowl with TO, why would you be any worse off without his team/self destructive behavior?

It's not going to happen. End of story.

NOOOOOOOOOO we are not going to get T.O. he would be too expensivis, but we can get the next best thing for a bargain---The Peoples Champ---FREDEX-- Freddie Mitchell.

Monk-Fan · 05-12-2005, 09:08 PM

Im just kidding people that would be really weird

monk81 · 05-12-2005, 09:22 PM

We can't afford him, and with his attitude I wouldnt want him on the team....I don't care if he is one of the best receivers in the league (see Randy Moss)..........
although I have to admit I enjoyed his dance in the star in Dallas..........

1 head case on a team is enough. Sean Taylor has many things in common with TO most importanly Drew Rosenhaus.

Seems like we've been down this road before on this guy.

diehardskin2982 · 05-12-2005, 11:31 PM

I don't either TO or his "mini me" Mitchel. lets just work on coaching up McCants to play better, give the kid a chance.

TO made that eagles receiving core 100% tougher and gave the team alot more confidence so I do feel he got the eagles over the hump

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-13-2005, 08:01 AM

What hump was that though?

jrfriedm · 05-13-2005, 09:58 AM

TO is not a Joe Gibbs type of player. He would undermine everything that the Coaching staff has worked so hard to instill into these guys. There is no way that we would go after this nut head.
