Redskins Interested in TO

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Nostradamus? Is that you?

[12thMan]

I think it's a risk if you take him and a risk if you don't.

The whole "this team has a veteran lockeroom" thing won't make much of a difference to T.O. If it works out this time for him, whoever he ends up with, it will be because he's made a conscience to decision to do so. Not because of veteran leadership, per se. I don't think, at this point in his career, he'll all of a sudden mold to the personality of any one lockeroom.

But for some reason, I think he's had a wake up call and whatever team lands him could be that next team to beat.

Of course, if the Redskins get him, Offiss and RC56 will protest because we have no one to get him the ball.

I just got off the phone with Lawyer Bill. He says that you are now being sued by Texas A&M. I guess you will have to change your name too.

Don't worry 12thMan... I got your back

Still got a long way to go before this is a reality.

This sounds like pure speculation on King's part.

Ever since Snyder came here whenever there's a big name player on the market, the Redskins are predictably added to the short list of potential destinations.

Crazy Canuck, join my chorus whenever you feel comfortable...

We don't have the cap room. At least not yet. If the CBA is not extended by March 3 (or if a continuance is not enacted by March 3), then we will actually have to shed players rather than acquiring big names. If the CBA gets extended or there is a continuance, then I can see us having the cap room to do it.

But guys come on, there's NO WAY the Eagles will trade him within the division so long as there are teams like the Broncos and Chiefs willing to give up a pick.

I'll keep an open mind, stranger things have happened. But on this one, I think cooler heads (Gibbs') will prevail. I don't see this happening and I think it's a misplaced rumor started by someone who thinks Dan Snyder is still interested on spending at any cost.

[skindogger47]

How could Reggie Wayne cost that much more than trading for TO? Everybody on the squad wants Reggie, and I think that's what we're gonna do.

maybe.. wilbon thinks it will be randle el.. i would prefer moulds

[skinsfanthru&thru]

The only way I see him ever being given the privilege to wear a skins uni is if his contract has the most strict language about acts detrimental to the team. And I seriously think the Eagles wouldn't be opposed to trading within the division in the hopes TO would be almost like a Trojan Horse to tear apart a rival from the inside like he did to them. I'm very torn about this cuz I absolutely hate the attitude he has towards other players, but on the other hand the idea of putting TO, Moss, Cooley, and Portis on the field while under the direction of Saunders just can't help but make u wonder how many offensive records could be broken with that collection of talent.

Man i hope we really dont get him becuase there will be a conflict between him and santana down the road of who would be no.1 i can see it now and that would cause t.o to go off the handle again. I say we get a quality WR in the draft someone that is consistant and has good hands as Cooleys does.

[jordanz301]

exactly wat i was thinking who would be the #1 receiver omg i can already see it "disgruntled T.O sounds off for not being #1 guy" i can already see the headlines

[offiss]

Highly unlikly, to many things don't add up, especially at the QB position, one reason he wanted out of San Fran was because Garcia couldn't get him the ball deep, Brunell is very, very similar to Garcia, except he no longer moves as well, same arm strength if Brunell is lucky at this stage of his carreer. So if we are committed to Brunell I can't see TO really wanting to be here.


2- He doesn't represent what Gibbs wants as a team attitude, except 1 thing the guy will do whatever he has to do to win, except shut his mouth. But if you put him in a good situation he would be fine, there are plenty of players who are bigger problems than TO but their more quite about it, TO is always front page news.

There is a possiblilty, aside from is mouth, he has a lot of qualities that Gibbs wants on his team, now, does the good outweigh the bad?

I was wondering if anyone knows what neighborhood the cap will be in if a new deal is struck giving the players a greater piece of the pie. If it happens, isn't the cap likely to increase enough to cover our existing obligations and sign new players such as Keyshawn Johnson?

stranger things have happened.if coach gibbs and the staff think the skins are very close to winning it all,i can see this happening.as much as i think T.O. is a horses ass,there is no doubt about his ablility on the field come gameday.i for one would trade conflict and headaches for one season in return for a super bowl trophy.how about you?
