The Terrell Owens Sweepstakes.

[tucker rocky]

Any team going to take a gamble next season?
Any team care about him?
Maybe stick to doing commercials? Couldn't go wrong there, or could he?
CFL maybe? Arena League? Just kidding. :D

[ice4277]

As much of a douchebag he can be at times, I would absolutely love to see him come to the Lions on a short-term contract.

*Insert "Lions need another receiver" joke here*

[Dblbogey31]

80% chance he plays in Dallas and Keyshawn gets cut

15% chance he plays in Tampa Bay

5% chance he plays in Oakland

Minnesota is obviously out since his old Off/Co took the job there.

[st.cronin]

I could see Dallas or Tampa Bay. I don't see Oakland. NY Jets, maybe?

[tucker rocky]

Millen could meet Drew R's demands. Give him a lifetime contract and misery in Detroit.

I don't regard Detroit as a bad city by the way, just the team itself and people running the Lions.

[tucker rocky]

Daniel Synder has lots of money. Is Wash. a possibility?

[Flasch186]

miami

[Cuckoo]

I just don't see it in Dallas. If the Cowboys do sign him, I'll be one unhappy fan. And I suspect there would be a lot more.

[st.cronin]

Wherever he plays, I think he's going to make a lot of money, and have a very good year.

[beatle]

This guy can be a cancer on a team. Who ever gives him a contract will have some protections in it in regards to his behavior/attitude. The contract will most likely be a short one unless the team is crazy. I know one thing: New England is one team he will not be going to!

While I don't think it likely, I wouldn't be so quick to rule it out.

Here's my list:

NE
Dallas
Wash
Oak
SD
Miami
Jac
Caro
NYG

TB, young, strong armed passer.
Will get the ball to receivers,(when not pressured)
Could be a good choice.

[beatle]

I will eat my Pat's championship banners if TO comes to New England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill is to smart to go after and pay big bucks for a problem such as TO. Can anyone say Terry Glen.

[Eaglesfan27]

I think Denver might take a chance on him, particularly, if they lose next week.

[Johnny93g]

miami

Please no, we got a good thing going there right now, dont need Owens to come in and screw it up

[bhlloy]

I still think Dallas makes the most sense. Bill Parcells never met a WR with issues that he didn't like, and if he STFU and played he'd give them a scary deep passing game.

Washington and Tampa Bay also seem to make sense... gotta think he sounds like a guy Snyder would love to sign, and I can also see Gruden taking a shot at calming him down.

[JeeberD]

Just say NO to TO in Dallas!

[Barkeep49]

I think rather than a sweepstakes we should view it as a lottery in the Shirley Jackson sense.

[Greyroofoo]

I still salivate at the possibility of seeing TO lined up with Marvin Harrison.

But the Colts would never take him.

[Cuckoo]

I still think Dallas makes the most sense. Bill Parcells never met a WR with issues that he didn't like, and if he STFU and played he'd give them a scary deep passing game.

See, I don't think Dallas makes much sense. It is unlikely that Dallas will get rid of either Terry Glenn or Keyshawn, unless Keyshawn plays hardball and demands a new contract, in which case it becomes a completely different situation.

But Dallas has a lot of money invested in those two, and I don't see them investing a lot more in a wide receiver unless it's someone young. Parcells has shown a definite commitment to getting young players in there the past couple of years. The one area he hasn't done that much to is wide receiver. It seems like youth would be a priority there.

As for guys with issues, Keyshawn and Glenn have been choir boys in Dallas. No problems whatsoever. But Owens is a different animal. Parcells can tolerate arrogance, I think, but not conduct that is disrespectful to him (see Antonio Bryant).

Add to all that the stuff with Terrell Owens and the star, and I just don't think Jerry Jones would take on a PR nightmare like that. He likely won't rule it out, but I'd say the odds of him going to Dallas are not high at all.

[Eaglesfan27]

I don't think Oakland will happen after hearing Randy Moss talk a month or two ago about it on ESPN, and (if I read between the lines correctly) he would demand a trade if Oakland brought in T.O.

[MIJB#19]

If Pro Bowl Jeff Garcia and Pro Bowl Donovan McNabb aren't a good enough quarterback, what quarterbacks would he be willing to play with? Last I looked, Dallas and Tampa Bay, the mostly mentioned teams in this thread, are not teams with a top5 quarterback in the NFL. From the Owens perspective, was does that leave? Indianapolis, who are loaded at WR? New England, who had Dillon work there, but isn't Owens' complaining in another dimention? Cincinnati, who just lost their QB to a terrible knee injury? Which other quarterback could be top5ish in the NFL?

[st.cronin]

Doesn't Seattle have a good bit of cap room?

[Dutch]

Which other quarterback could be top5ish in the NFL?

Where's Eric Zeier when you need him?

Tampa Bay will not pick up T. Owens.

Not after the Gruden/KJ experience. And Joey Galloway has been a pleasant surprise and Michael Clayton shows lots of promise when healthy.

However, I hope to God that TO signs with the Cowboys because my wife just said she would never root for the Cowboys again if that happened.

Oh please, oh please, oh please let TO sign with the Cowboys. :)

[tucker rocky]

Doesn't Seattle have a good bit of cap room?

So do the Jags, but I can't envision him playing for them.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm torn on wanting T.O. to go the Cowboys. I'd love to see the Eagles knock his lights out in a game, but I'm afraid that he would torch us in at least his first few Dallas-Philly games.

[Travis]

Doesn't Seattle have a good bit of cap room?Depends on what the increase is in the cap this year. As it is, I'm sure they'll make getting Alexander and Hutchinson a priority which would take up a pretty good chunk of change.

That and I just can't see them bringing T.O. in after their locker room cleanup last offseason and the results they've had since.

[miami_fan]

miami

Maybe I am just hoping he does not go to the Dolphins but I really don't see it. First off, I am pretty sure the Eagles are going to want a high draft pick for him and I believe that Saban wants to keep those picks. Second, I can't see them bringing TO in with a young QB who he may be able to intimidate. Third, I don't think Miami would change the offense from one based on the running game to one that is more passing based. Remember, TO wants the ball thrown to him regularly and I really don't see that happening in Miami. I don't believe he is deperate enough to just go anywhere. He still wants to go somewhere he believes will allow him to put up the biggest numbers.

Now I will say that Saban may believe that this is a opportunity to make Owens his Corey Dillon and bring him in.

[GrantDawg]

The Terrell Owens Sweepstakes. If you win, you lose.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Since the words "Arena League" were mentioned, I've popped into this thread. Terrell Owens would be an absolute monster in the AFL. He'd break AFL records in ways that I can't even imagine. He would redefine the Offensive Specialist position.

I have no idea where he fits in the NFL, though. :)

[beatle]

Good one Pumpy Tudors!

[bigdawg2003]

Houston would probably be willing to take the gamble if they could afford him considering the disaster of a season they had. It'd be damn tough to be a WR combination like Andre Johnson and TO if he keeps his mouth shut

[AlexB]

TO seems like an Al Davis player to me: there's a nice low maintenance pair of receivers - Moss & TO!

[jamesUMD]

First off, I am pretty sure the Eagles are going to want a high draft pick for him and I believe that Saban wants to keep those picks.
If the Eagles trade him (which I think it's much more likely he gets cut before July) I seriously doubt they get more than a 3rd.

No one is going to give up a high pick for a guy who is a cancer, in the midst of saying he wants a new contract, and is 32 yrs old. That just isn't going to happen.

I'd be thrilled if we got a 3rd for him. Considering that everyone knows the Eagles will eventually cut him, I doubt the Eagles will get more than a 5th for him.

[kcchief19]

I think Kansas City's interest will be determined based on who the offensive coordinator will be. I'm assuming Al Saunders is gone. There are different names bouncing around on who will take over in Kansas City. If it's somebody who has a connection to Owens or just someone who think they can control him, I can see the Chiefs making a play. Kansas City would be a great place for Owens. The media would love him and the only way you can get in trouble in Kansas City is by breaking the law.

[Deattribution]

I think the only reason a team would trade for T.O is just for exclusive negotiation rights, otherwise they'd just let him fall to the free market and snag him there.

There's no way they get much for him in a trade unless there are 2 or 3 teams really trying to get him and they go back and forth offering 6th, 5th, 4th picks.. ect.

[MacroGuru]

I currently work with Chad Lewis' mom, and we were talking about the T.O. situation, and she was relaying some things Chad has stated about T.O.

Chad truly liked him, and he said T.O. was by far the hardest working athlete he has ever met or played with. He also stated that T.O. was charismatic in the locker room, and was a true leader.

In regards to everything that happened, the tema knew what happened was business, but really wished it wouldn't have happened the way it did.

I know T.O. is appearing as a cancer as he has singlehandedly destroyed two teams, but I think he will end up in Dallas, and do well, only if Dallas has a veteran QB that can handle someone like T.O.

[Desnudo]

The obvious team is Baltimore. Ray Lewis would do wonders for T.O.'s attitude and since they don't seem to have a problem with convicts playing for them, I'm sure a surly attitude will be comparitively nothing.

[cougarfreak]

Yep..............

T.O. "I need the ball more, I want, I want, I want"

Jamal (on cell phone) "Here,my friend says try some of his happy dust"

Ray "Shut the hell up, or we're going to the gold club sucka!"

[tarcone]

Denver would be a logical choice: They dont have a deep threat (lelie((sp?)) average) and shanahan has a history of taking on a "special" players i.e. maurice clarett
i would love to see it considering i thin T.O. may have learned something from this last episode

[Eaglesfan27]

Do you think Baltimore would want him after he has already snubbed them once?

He would make a great replacement for Rod Smith, but if you're 28 or whatever he is, you're not going to change unless you experience something life altering. My preference would be a contract that sends him into the Peace Corps for two years first.

[Desnudo]

I wish it was no, but in this day and age, I think they would let bygones be bygones for a player of his caliber.

Im thinking getting deactivated and an organization not putting up with his crap would be life altering. maybe im living in la-la land, but hell what a player he would be for jake the snake

He's like the sirens that sing out to ships at sea and cause them to crash on the rocks and shoals near shore.

[Dblbogey31]

Much of the TO drama this season was done becasue it was the only way to get out of his contract. He wasn't going to get another dime out of the Eagles. They had just signed him to a 7 year contract. No way were they going to re-negotiate after they just gave him a signing bonus. The only way to get more money was to act like a total ass and get cut so he could go sign a new deal with another team and get more signing bonus money. He and Drew played the system perfectly and it's going to work aparently. He will get cut and then sign with another team. He will get a bunch of up-front money and Drew will get his cut. I'm not saying his beahavour was acceptable but it's easy to see why he did it. TO is simply about the money. He acted up in SF and one could say he wanted to play for a winner. He then went to Baltimore where he could not stay because Ray Lewis would have kicked his ass or shot him before the season was over. So he got shipped off to a winning team and he still acted up to get paid. He will likely go to Dallas who has a ton of cap room. They will cut Keyshawn and keep Glenn. Parcells is gone after next season so they will make the big move of bringing in TO which might put them over the top for next season. Flozell and LA will both be retained and they will make some sort of run at Seattle's Hutchinson but so will Houston. He won't be cheap and Seattle will franchise him anyway. Don't be surprised to see Houston trade out of that #1 pick to 6 or 7 and take OT D`Brickashaw Ferguson from UVA btw.

[Vinatieri for Prez]

Who cares where he goes, really?

[stevew]

As long as Joey Porter could beat him whenever the need arised, I think TO would be absolutely awesome working across from Hines Ward.

[rkmsuf]

Oddly the league has survived without him the latter part of this season.

[ChiMatt]

It will be interesting to see if anyone winds up giving him a long term deal with the major signing bonus he feels he deserves. I think the list of teams that may do that is pretty short. Maybe Washington or Dallas but I dont even think they would do it.

If this becomes a situation where he takes a one year deal to improve his image to strike another deal the following year the list of teams he could go to will grow.

I can't imagine any team actually trading for him since they know the Eagles will have to cut him and he wants his deal redone anyway. Let him hit a real free agent market and see what his value is.

I once predicted that TO is a pawn for Drew Rosenhaus. The chances of TO making more money than he was projected to make in Philadelphia and beyond is slim to none.

However, the chances of his agent Drew Rosenhaus making more than what he was getting paid (nothing) is the true cash cow in this show.

[Thul]

As a Jets fan, I hope not. He's certainly an upgrade talent-wise (although almost every team could say the same), but they certainly don't need the drama after the 05-06 injury debacle and losing Edwards. Ironically, the Jets are interviewing Tice on Monday. That would be a "fun" pairing. Tice would be pinching himself and saying, "I swear I've been in this soap opera before."

NY Jets, maybe?

[robbgmaier]

stevew there is no chance in hell that cowher would put up with TO. that said, if it happens, I'm blaming you, and I will come to take my revenge....

[Brillig]

And the first reported nibble comes from...

Oh dear god, no. I got to put up with the Donkeys dominating the sports pages for half the year but with TO, it'll be the Donkeys and a Jackass dominating the news. :mad:

[Ksyrup]

Denver and Miami have been the only viable possibilities rumored for the past several weeks. I don't want him on Denver...any chance he'll not make it out of summer camp, ala Clarett? :cool:

[Honolulu_Blue]

I hope he goes to Denver. I've never liked the Broncos and now I could like them even less. It's a good match.

[Desnudo]

I hope he goes anywhere but New England.

Heh, I remember thinking the same thing when he first came to the Eagles!

[Eaglesfan27]

Heh, I remember thinking the same thing when he first came to the Eagles!
Me too :(

[rkmsuf]

maybe Shanahan will bite him on the neck and turn him into a vampire.

[Eaglesfan27]

He is now officially a Dallas Cowboy, according to Fox News. Reportedly signed a 3 year 25 million dollar deal with a 5 million dollars signing bonus, 5 million base salary this year, 8 million next year, and 7 million the following year. I can't believe he actually got that much after the crap he has done. I'm also disgusted to see him go to my most hated NFC East Rival. At least, I can hope that he will blow up their chemistry as he has done in previous places.

[Dutch]

And that's why Drew Rosenhaus gets hired by players. I am stunned that he got Owens his money back and more. I never believed in a million years that could have been possible.

I guess this answers the question "Drew, what exactly have you done for T.O. since becoming his agent?"

[sachmo71]

fuckers

[DaddyTorgo]

this pisses me offno way he should get that much $

[GrantDawg]

No one has ever said life is fair or football team owners are smart.

[cartman]

This ranks up there with the method of firing Tom Landry as a dark day in team history.

[tanglewood]

He is now officially a Dallas Cowboy, according to Fox News. Reportedly signed a 3 year 25 million dollar deal with a 5 million dollars signing bonus, 5 million base salary this year, 8 million next year, and 7 million the following year. I can't believe he actually got that much after the crap he has done. I'm also disgusted to see him go to my most hated NFC East Rival. At least, I can hope that he will blow up their chemistry as he has done in previous places.

Year 2 and 3 each have a hefty roster bonus due at the start of free agency, so it's essentially a series of three seperate one-year deals. Also there are apparently very strict disciplinary clauses in the contract, at least according to Jerry Jones.

[QuikSand]

I'm quite surprised at the contract structure.

[FBPro]

So with the Cowboys signing him does that make all the other teams the winner's and they are the losers? :D

[JeeberD]

I think I'm going to puke when I actually see him in the Silver and Blue...

[kcchief19]

And that's why Drew Rosenhaus gets hired by players. I am stunned that he got Owens his money back and more. I never believed in a million years that could have been possible.
Owens, who was released by the Eagles on Tuesday, will earn a bonus of $5 million for this season and a base salary of $5 million, for total compensation of $10 million. Under his contract with the Eagles, Owens would have earned $8.52 million for 2006.
It should be noted that Owens lost about $4 million in 2005, between the base salary that he forfeited during his suspension and the prorated signing bonus money the Eagles withheld because they claimed he was in default on his contract.
Under the terms of the seven-year, $49 million contract that Owens signed with Philadelphia after being traded to the Eagles in 2004, he would have earned $20.27 million for the 2006-2008 seasons. So there is the potential, should the contract with the Cowboys remain intact, for Owens to make nearly $5 million more in Dallas than he would have with the Eagles.

So, Rosenhaus convinced Owens to pitch a fit, lose $4 million in salary in 2005 and lose a contract that would have paid him $8.52 million in 2006 and paid agent Rosenhaus nothing since he didn't negotiate the contract in exchange for a three-year contract that will pay him $10 million this year and probably get him release next year. If Dallas keeps him through this contract, he will net $730,000 more than the Philadelphia deal.

The most impressive thing about Rosenhaus is that he has convinced Owens and other NFL players that he is working in their best interest and not his. I have no doubt his advice and management cost Owens more than $730,000 in endorsement deals and respect.
I'm quite surprised at the contract structure.
I am stunned. For all the talk Owens and Rosenhaus made about getting paid, Owens has essentially signed a one-year contract for $10 million. That's a lot of money, but it's not as much guaranteed money as Moss and Harrison got in their last contracts.

Rosenhaus clearly seems to think that getting Owens a series of one-year deals with guaranteed bonus money is preferrable to any other option. My rudimentary math shows that Dallas will have a $6.67 million cap hit this year -- not unreasonable if Owens actually performs. They'll take a $3.33 million hit next year to release him next year. If they keep him for for 2007, it will be with a $8.17 million cap number with a cut number of $3.8 million for 2008. The 2008 cap number would be $10.17 million

Dallas could keep Owens in 2007 if they want, but I have a feeling that neither the Cowboys or Owens anticipate that he will play under this contract next year. Rosenhaus probably thinks he can get $10 million from the Cowboys this year, then hold up somebody else -- cough Redskins cough -- next year for another $10 million, one-year deal. To me, it's a huge gamble at his age that Owens is taking that he can perform and stay healthy to keep getting a new contract.

Regardless, congratulations to Drew on getting his commission. He's the only winner in this deal.

[CraigSca]

Ugh, I am a full-time Eagle-hater, but I may just have to root for them when they play the Cowboys. I have to laugh, however, about all those T.O. jerseys in the Philadelphia area right now.

[MIJB#19]

Hmmm, somehow I see images of Owens taunting the Cowboys by dancing on the mid-field logo in a red jersey.

[EagleFan]

And that's why Drew Rosenhaus gets hired by players. I am stunned that he got Owens his money back and more. I never believed in a million years that could have been possible.

More? He would have made about 12 million dollars (including roster bonus) the up coming season with the Eagles, opposed to the 10 million (inclusing bonuses) that he pockets this season from the Brokeback Cowboys. Add the 4 games pay that he lost last season, and the potential major marketing dollars that he could have cashed in on after his Super Bowl performance and I don't see where the idea that he is making more comes from.

[Eaglesfan27]

Drew Rosenhaus is on ESPN now, and he is saying Terrell just signed the best contract a WR has ever signed. What kind of BS is he trying to sell? Disgusting, I would have had to change the channel if they didn't cut him off and end the interview.

[bulletsponge]

my father, a long time Cowboys fan said that he wont watch the cowboys this year. and i actually believe him about that.

[Cringer]

This is sad. As a Packer fan I built up some decent size hate for the Cowboys when the Packers couldn'tget past them in the early 90's. Then it started to become indifference when they sucked. And I actually did not mind them too much when Parcells took over, because I like Parcells.

I am now back to thinking Jones is a horible owner, and I have lost some respect for Parcells in a way. Atleast he didn't show up to the press conference.

Jones is not a horrible owner. Owens is one of the best WRs in the game. From a football standpoint, this is an upgrade. From a PR standpoint? Cowboys fans will get over his antics and start to love him. If he gets them into the playoffs, forget it. He's a hero.

Lots of Cowboys fans will talk a big game now, but they will be back. This town is a winners paradise. Fans love a winner, at any cost.

No one doubts that, everything you said happened year one with the Eagles. What happens next year if he pulls an Owens.

I am just pissed because of the money he gave Owens. I don't think it needed to be so much. Maybe 7 others teams really were after the guy but I don't buy it. I understand Owens is pretty much the best WR in the league, I wouldn't argue that.

I think it is bad PR, and even if Parcells did sign off on this I can't think he really likes it. This is the guy who last year said he wanted character guys, not characters. Owens is nothing but a character. If Parcells is gone after this year then I guess he just doesn't care, it's a one shot and done for him.

Also, I remember Keyshawn and Bledsoe going at it last year. As much as I think Owens will be a very good boy this year, I can see them getting into it at some point. And as was pointed out to me on the radio a bit ago, several of the locker room leaders are now gone from this team, I wonder how that will impact things?

More support for my jerk-magnet theory. :)


I think this is BEAUTIFUL!!!

The Jerk Store called. They are out of T.O.

Drew Bledsoe or TO in a locker room steel cage match?

What's the difference? Fans of the Eagles are their all-time best seller!

:D

:p

[cartman]

I hate the timestamp. I'll wait a bit to put the proper reply to the message from Kodos.

[Kodos]

Oh yeah? Well EaglesFan27 slept with your wife!

If I was married and had a wife, she'd be in a coma.

If I was married and had a wife, she'd be in a coma.

And if you were married and didn't have a wife, you'd be in Massachusetts.

Dale Hansen pretty much sums up how I feel about the signing:

Ha ha. Not as catchy as the song that was playing on his website during the Eagles era, but still quite amusing.

K-Fed....T.O.....K-Fed..... T.O.


It's a close one

ugh.

"When it comes to this game, I'm the best in the field, some said I was gonna sign just a one-year deal, but I got what I wanted up front, 10 mil, changed the rules of the game, so now how you feel

"I got a brand new team, I am a Cowboy now, no more black and green, to the haters that said I'm not going to get my money, I'm laughing in your face, ha ha, that's funny."

Woo hoo:D

[SFL Cat]

Man....seems like there are fewer and ferwer for me to continue rooting for the Boys.
