Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Eagles could use a WR :)

Giants, Jets, Pats, Bears, Colts, Vikings all make sense too

By the end of this week Owens, Holt, and Harrison could all be looking for jobs. That's quite a market for veteran WRs that could push a team over the top

The best possible scenario would be him going there. It won't happen, though.

This is bad news. This actually makes Dallas better.

I really wish we didn't have 12 million in cap space with him available. I am going to buy paper bags for the games if we sign him.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

I'm not going to lie I would be more than ok with it if we signed him. I don't like him as a person at all, but he could help us big time. It would be risky, but it could work. Maybe not.

Only if he comes dirt cheap and we device a jockstrap filled with C-4 and a remote detonator. "Ok T.O., you make a peep and you'll go boom". Actually, any team that even considers him should take note of this idea. LOL.

[quote=Ruhskins;534047]Anyone know how big of a cap hit the Cowpukes will take? Just curious.[/quote]Purely based on knowledge of similarly structured contracts, the dead cap should be somewhere equal to his expected salary for the 09 season.

In other words, it's a relative net zero gain on the cap to release him as opposed to keep him. This is strictly a football move.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

He will count 9 million towards the cap in 2009 for them (7%) of total cap, or slightly more than it would have cost to keep him (his extension averaged 8.5 million annually, but was likely backloaded).

Who am I kidding, Jerry's not leaving anytime soon.[/quote]

Yeah, I kinda wish he'd stuck around for a while and further tainted the chemistry of that locker room.

It seemed the 'Skins played well against him (most of the time) and I think we'd be better off with him having a star on his helmet.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

If Vinny signs him I'm gonna flip and not in a good way. I am glad though that they lost T.O. Roy Williams has only gone over a 1,000 yards in his career once and has had trouble staying healthy so hopefully it'll be easier to beat the Cowboys this year. Then again if the fact that Romo was getting held back is true then those two games a year just got harder.

Dudes I called it months ago.. I wish that shitty little team in dalass was stupid enough to keep him. They just got better by subtraction...

Did they? I mean come on, regardless of the fact that he's a prick, TO has skills and lining him up with Roy Williams basically gave them two #1 receivers. Now they only have Roy Williams, and a whole bunch of middle of the pack receivers.

By the way, not to defend T.O., but what has happened with him and Dallas should not come as a surprise. After the Tuna left, was there really any leadership left in that team? Parcells got two good years out of Owens and kept him somewhat in line, one year with Tubby Phillips and things blow up.

By the way, I would bet anything (if I were a betting man) T.O. ends up with the Raiders.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

I didn't see this coming.

Maybe Jerry Jones is throwing chum in the water because he knows we'll be tempted with all the cap space we have.

Danny might try to focus TO's distractions into dallas hate and sign him so he can face them twice a year.

I personally wouldn't like to see TO in a Redskins jersey. I can't think of where he'd go next...I just hope he stays the hell away from the NFC Beast.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

I thought him and Jerry were pretty tight I'm slightly shocked

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

if he stayed, he f*cks their team chemistry, if he goes they aren' quite talented enough at receiver anymore. their obvious team strength goes from very intimidating to not soo much eh? either way they were f*cked and i love it

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

wow. I think TO's finally going to have to settle for less money.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Drops too many passes. Didn't run the routes correctly last season. Can help a team? Yes. Is he on the decline. YES! Do we want him? NO!!!
