Where Will T.O. Go?

With the news that the Dallas Cowboys have cut Terrell Owens now all the speculation has turned to where he might end up. Given that he has burned so many bridges there aren’t a whole lot of viable opportunities. He will be looking to go to a team set up for a playoff run that has a good QB however ones that might need a receiver. Several teams have actually already come out and stated they want nothing to do with him.

So who will end up singing him? Or will he even be able to find a team willing to take him on? Bodog already has odds up on where he’ll land. Continue on to check out what I think are the five most likely destinations.

raidersowens

Oakland Raiders

Why he would fit: Al Davis has never been shy about signing controversial players and overpaying them. The Raiders fan base would probably eat it up and buy a ton of Owens jerseys. The team needs a #1 receiver.

Why he wouldn’t fit: JaMarcus Russell is no Jeff Garcia, or Donovan McNabb, or Tony Romo. The Raiders aren’t going to be a Super Bowl contender with or without him.

patsowens

New England Patriots

Why he would fit: You don’t go into New England and cause trouble. The winning tradition and leadership is too strong. They were able to bring in Randy Moss and that has worked out. Imagine Moss, Owens, and Wes Welker on the field at the same time. Tom Brady is the QB.

Why he wouldn’t fit: The Patriots are unlikely to want the headache and they don’t need it. They also don’t have the cap space to work with.

coltsowens

Indianapolis Colts

Why he would fit: With Marvin Harrison gone they could use another WR threat to pair up with Reggie Wayne. Peyton Manning is the QB. The team is still good enough to contend for a Super Bowl.

Why he wouldn’t fit: What first year head coach wants to stake their career on T.O.?

bearsowens

Chicago Bears

Why he would fit: They are in desperate need of a #1 WR. The division is wide open. They have some flexibility under the cap.

Why he wouldn’t fit: He isn’t the type of sports star that the city is used to embracing. Kyle Orton is the QB.

noteamowens2

No Team

The common assumption is that someone will take a chance on him. But go down the list of teams. Not a single one makes a lot of sense for bringing him in that also has staff and players that would accept him. He won’t be had for a bargain either since he’ll just complain about being underpaid. His age and fading skills no longer present the same risk vs reward ratio that had prompted the Eagles and Cowboys to acquire him.

Already said they aren't interested.

WOOOOOOOOO

They showed a list on espn of the teams that they believe are not interested in him, and it was about every team but maybe 4 lol.

The Rams learned their "Jack-Ass Lesson" with Lawrence Phillips in the '90's.

Good to see they hold their values and it's one of the reasons I still love & respect this team, whether they are winning or losing.

lol, he'll join the cast on CBS's NFL pregame show…n'oh my god, Jerry Jones, what have you done?!

I guess that isn't out the realm of possibilities either.

I just knew Pasta would say something about this. I had a feeling. I kept coming back here waiting on when he mentioned the T.O thing. Well, he's no longer on my favorite team. He never threw anyone on the bus like he did with Philly & S.F. The whole Witten, Romo thing was said to have never happened the way th e media spun it. Tony & Jason said it was nothing like that going on. But the media has thrashed him apart this time around. His past came back and haunted him here. Good luck Terrell with where ever you go, or decide to do.

KRIS

so he didnt throw romo under the bus??? witten???? we all saw him in the steelers game! he kirked OUT! he was all pointin at romo and screaming at the reciever coach. and im sure that story wasnt just made up about his witten romo bff accusation. i think t.o. lied about not sayin it. i wonder y all the other recievers were sayin in interviews that they dont get thrown to enough. u didnt c witten talkin w/ them or romo commin to t.o.'s defense(that was his qb right?).

p.s. it was nice seeing t.o. witten and romo putting on that fake ass display after the giants game. lol fake as hell.

Quan

He never said anything to the media about Tony Romo or Jason Witten. They both denied the reports about the writing plays thing. According to the team, everyone wanted T.O back, unlike in S.F & Philly. Plus all Ed Werner was saying is according to sources, name your source man. According to the team everything was okay as far as the locker room goes. T-New said that the coaching and lack of responsibility as a whole was the problem. He stated that T.O was a good teammate. Who else has argued on the sidelines lets see, Keyshawn, Anquan, Randy Moss. He isn't the only guy to argue on the sidelines. T.O stated he wanted the team to use the offense it had in 2007, and he was crucified for speaking since he mentioned himself making more plays. Huh?? Then the sideline thing, like he's the only one. The media will not let his past go.

The 1st amendment protects a journalist from having to release his informant to the public. Although courts recently have impeded on this right, the journalist is job is to report accurate information not give up all of his source. It's kind of hard to get water from the well if it's dry you know what I mean?

Quan

Thanks for clarifying that. Several players said they believed that someone tipped the press off. Someone who didn't like T.O. I still wish I knew who. But yeah us as Cowboys fans even though some in disagreement, we all have to move on without him. I'm still a T.O fan, but Cowboys come first. Best of luck T.O. I hope Roy Williams can make it happen this year. Let's go Cowboys!!

Um journalists can print libel all they want. The only time they have to give up a source is when there is a pending investigation or when the government believes that there is terrorism or something involved (Patriot Act).

I know that likely no one else cares about this or even noticed, but TO in these screenshots has the wrong facemask. He doesn't have the simple two-bar mask, but the 3-bar facemask that Brett Favre, Tony Romo and Matt Hasselbeck wear. Just a tip cuz without the right facemask, it really doesn't even look like TO in the screenshots.

KRIS

STFU. lol three bar facemask? doesnt look like t.o.? so ur tellin me even tho they got his face perfectly detailed, because hes missin a bar on his facemask it looks nothing like him?????? get the FU((K outta here!!

Kody

Uh, yes.. that IS exactly what I'm saying. Thanks for the clarification.

kbin007

I wonder if the New York Jets could be players for T.O.? They've got rid of Lavernues Coles, so they need a number one, and whoever the QB is going to be will need someone to throw to. As long as my Browns don't touch him. That's all we'd need, Owens rubbing off on Braylon Edwards. Yikes.

Jets have already said not interested. They were in my top possibilities until I read about that.

Saints pass happy team. Btw there is no way he would go to the Colts tho Manning would not put up with his BS for 1 sec. The sec T.O says anything to Manning I bet manning will throw a punch at him lol. Don't think drew brees would put up with him to but just a guess.

I believe they're one of the teams that have said no. Sean Payton knows better.

Pretty much every team has said no. They are all going to say no they don't want ppl to know what they are thinking of doing . I mean what team has said ya? lol.

I rekon if anyone is gonna take him it will be the raiders coz they desperatly need a big WR for Russell to throw too and Al Davis is that unpredictable that theres a huge chance he will sign him.

The360King

With his pass coverage skills, he might as well be a linebacker. I can see a team making him a LB conversion. Any safety that has to come out on passing downs has no business playing safety in the NFL.

Actually Roy Williams said his feelings were hurt because they weren't getting him involved. Which basically means Roy Williams wants the ball. ESPN didn't even put it out. Search it online. It was stated on dallascowboys.com at one time.
