Owens done for season...

BrudLee · 11-07-2005, 03:12 PM

Per Andy Reid's Monday press conference.

After his suspension he will remain on the roster, but not allowed to attend team functions.

skins052bgr8 · 11-07-2005, 03:14 PM

I heard it as well, could not make out after the 4 game suspension if he would be released or remain on the team inactive. He is getting what he deserves.

BrudLee · 11-07-2005, 03:15 PM

Also, Akers extended through 2010.

JWsleep · 11-07-2005, 03:15 PM

Wonder where he'll end up next? Glad to get him out of philly, anyway.

MTK · 11-07-2005, 03:16 PM

I love it, he's finally getting what he deserves.

I can't wait to see what other NFL team will be dumb enough to pick him up next year.

TO represents everything that's wrong with the modern day athlete.

BigSKINBauer · 11-07-2005, 03:17 PM

finally philly stood up

There is always someone looking for talent and he will be playing somewhere someday

They should keep him on the roster til his contract is up. If that's 5 years, then it's 5 years of no playing for TO.

He had done all of this so he could receive a larger contract. Now what team will sign him to a big contract, I would think none. There will be a team that will sign him to a short term contract 1 maybe 2 year deal but I don't see anyone given up the big bucks after this.

TO who?

Bozzy · 11-07-2005, 03:21 PM

In most states you must be at least 15 years of age to legally work.

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-07-2005, 03:24 PM

That might be a good poll, who is going to pick up TO?

SmootSmack · 11-07-2005, 03:26 PM

This is the same guy who bitched and moaned about playing for the Ravens and insisted that he wanted to play with McNabb.

TO is just odd. I remember a couple of years ago when people were saying who's better, TO or Randy Moss? And a common response was "TO maybe a pain but he always gives 100% on the field, you can count on him come game day" Well not anymore, now we're seeing that Moss is the better receiver.....Santana Moss! Giggidity!

I posted this on another thread - but I thought it really gives you some insight into how many players view Owens:

From a Philly paper on why the players haven't taken the TO thing into their own hands:

During the show, Gargano asked Douglas about criticism being levied on leaders of the team for not confronting Owens as a group.
"Most of the leaders on the team felt that T.O.'s a grown man and he needed to handle himself accordingly," Douglas said. "But it was a situation where we didn't know how crazy this man was, you know what I mean? We just didn't know how many issues this man had and it just got out of hand. I think everybody was sitting around like, 'Wow, I didn't know this man was this crazy.' "

You can't spell TOOL without T.O.

I can probably think of a couple of teams that would take a chance.

1 - Oakland Raiders
2 - Dallas Cowboys
3 - Washington Redskins (you know Danny,hopefully Joe will say NO!!)

somebody will take him, but like Mort said last night, it will be for minimul money and only a two year max deal. He has basically screwed up any shot of getting more money. He must have forgotten that he and super agent Rosenhouse(is that spelled right?) worked out this deal. He wanted the first couple of years to be heavy then fall off towards the end. He is basically one of the top 5 paid receivers in the NFL, but I guess that is just not good enough. He will be lucky to get 1 to 2 million a year now. Nobody is going to invest the money Philly did and basically have nothing to show for it. Other than a headache and a constant ringing in their ears.

Warpath · 11-07-2005, 03:31 PM

Even though I have a strong dislike for the Eagles, its good to see them step up and dump the trash that is T.O. Wonder where he ends up? I will rule out the NFC east for sure cuz none of the coaches here would allow the cancer on their team. Maybe Packers? Bengals? Bears? Browns? I really have no clue.....
