Eh, sign him. Whatever. Just make sure it’s a one year contract so he goes with the coaching staff and Angelo at the end of the season.
I love my Bears, and will watch every game, but they will suck again this year. It’s not going to be fun :/

Turrets Owens, wonder how long his mouth would run in the Bears’ locker room before Brian stuffed a dirty sock into it?

what is this obsession you have with the bashing the bears and thier recievers?last year was a lousy year for them because A. ron turner ran the offense and B. they were all first or second year players starting for the first time and ron turner ran the offense.. you and keep saying they are young and inexperianced which is true but how do you get experiance unless you play? I think they will be fine now that they have a year under thier belt and have somebody like martz who knows how to call more than a wide reciever screen to hester on 3rd down as his big play. again who had heard of the rams recievers before he took over that offense? the last thing they need is washed up troublemaker like t.o.

well owens had a horrible year last year, i dont see him doing any better, his days are over, he should have been nicer while he had talent, now hes older, slower, and not near as good, would hurt the bears more then anything else. and the ego would be to distracting, to much crying

Please don’t flirt with the Bears. Or is it “don’t feed” the bears? Either way, just don’t.

“But Owens instantly would be better than any wideout on the team, due in large part to the fact that the Bears’ cupboard is largely bare”
PURE opinion, and ill founded at that. You have no journalistic integrity. He is a far more accomplished wide receiver for sure, but he would kill any chances we have off fielding an improved offense.

Drat:
Martz might not get to make that call – he’s not the HC. But, I think it would be great TV to see Mad Mike and T.O. screaming at each other on the sideline. It will probably a better show than what they’ll be producing on the field, considering the problems they have on the O-line, in addition to the skill positions.

A marginal playoff team does not need the types of distractions that a T.O. brings. It might be a little different on an established playoff team with strong leaders, but that is not Chicago. Already they are dealing with a petulant QB; Urlacher does not know when to keep his mouth shut; and a pass-happy OC without a very good group of recievers (and a QB whose INT numbers have been steadily climbing throughout his career). I throw the last one in becasue it clearly created some serious discontentment in Detroit when MM was the OC there.
Adding T.O. will not solve ANY of those problems (NO, it won’t fix the receiving corps) and like Robert Ethen said, it can only end in buggery.

talk about throwing “stuff” at the walls hoping it will stick! Florio you’ve overreached again, and all the idiots rush to comment on your inanae crap.
First off T.O. said he was in town on business but not with the Bears.He was joking Jay about telling him how he doesn’t fit into the Martz, which even T.O knows he doesn’t. Martz likes small quick WRs who run precise routes…not big loud WRs who run thier mouth.
Secondly the Bears don’t sign guys who are problem children, Benson got in trouble a second time he was gone, Tank Johnson got arrested for something he was eventually found innocent but after his other scrapes with the law he was gone. They tend to go after “character guys” .
As far as the cupboard being bare, I really don’t think it is, and I don’t think the NFC North will either. I think finding CBs who will be able to stick with Hester and Knox in this offense will be a tall order.
Packer fans just a quick (pardon the pun) note for you…..YOU’RE STARTING CBs are in thier mid 30s, and don’t laugh to hard Vike fans Winfield is too. I am old enough to remember the various ways the NFL has changed, Randy Moss and all of these tall WRs brought about the need of big CBs. It was the greatest show on turf that had everyone getting quick smurf CBs, with the ridiculous speed that the Bears have at WR and Cutlers ability to throw it long it could be a very long season for DBs especially the old ones.

He should come to Carolina if he wants to win a Super Bowl. Matt Moore faking the handoff to DeAngelo Williams or Jonathan Stewart then having the option of throwing the ball to Steve Smith or Terrell Owens would be fun to watch.

I wonder what the over/under would be on the combined total of Cutler INTs and T.O. drops? Probably at least 40.

I hope this happens so I can hear all the bear fans try to nake it sound like a good idea. Just like they do for every move. I can’t wait to see him cry and squeal in Americas third largest media market

Maybe he could go to Minnesota and join Brett Favre in failing, yet again, to win a Super Bowl.

They sign him and they’d give the Vikings problems!! Makes sense, pass happy offense could be great for T.O.

Like they say, limited options start looking more attractive at closin’ time. If he’s set on playing, T.O. will get more flirty and less demanding as we edge nearer to the start of preseason.

” But Owens instantly would be better than any wideout on the team, due in large part to the fact that the Bears’ cupboard is largely bare.”
Ummmm, that would be a no. I like bennett,knox,hester, and even Aromashodu beter than owens in chicago. Oh, and Im not even a chicago fan.
Personally , i think the media wants T.O. to sign with somebody, then they have something else to write about even if he acts normal, they still will bring up the past.

First Trent Green, now TO? How did this front office keep their jobs the last few years? I’m with Sayers on this one: the Bears are a PAINFUL organization to be any part of, right now. . .

I think he’s worth it. He’ll sell Jerseys and Defences will take him seriously. Is he the same receiver that he once was? No. But he’s worth 5 mil in this league with a conditional clause. If the Bears go to the playoffs, he gets the $5 mil, if they don’t he is guaranteed $3 mil….something like that is reasonable in my opinion.

I believe that flirting with bears is illegal in some places.
