3.2 million for T.O seems high, but in a uncapped year it doesn’t seem that much really (maybe im wrong). Hes old but still very productive. Hes done lots with nothing last year obviously he isnt just a one man show now, but not bad at 3.2 mil. He will get signed very soon.

Gossiping sissies? That’s where you’re wrong, buddy. TMZ only does solid reporting. Remember, they’re big game hunters. The people they write about aren’t average schmucks, they have the resources to take legal action if they’re wrong. Granted this isn’t the type of story that lands reporters in court, but Tiger Woods + a pornstar does if you’re wrong. Its the same crack team writing both stories. I know you don’t want to respect them, but the fact is, they are probably correct.

TO thinks half of 6.5 is 5.

” Moreover, we’re not sure how TMZ can continue to claim that the Bengals and Owens are “very close” to a deal four days after first making that assertion, especially if — as TMZ now acknowledges — the two sides have yet to agree on money.”

Gee! Did it ever occur to any of you sports journalists that maybe TMZ isnt the best source for sports “news?” Poor writing skills, misinformation and using a collection of gossipy sissies as a source. Admirable.

TMZ needs to stop talking to his agent and talk to someone who might give them the truth.

T.O. could quote Niles Standish from “Crank Yankers” and say, “Take my salary from last year, cut it in half and then double it!”
Obscure reference of the day. Good job, old chap!!!

Four days of negotiating without an agreement? Sounds like someone dropped the ball. That would have to be T.O.

I’ll buy an Owens jersey, but $110 is too steep. Maybe cut that in half.

I love how sports writers are so dismissive of TMZ& OCNN when talking about TO, like they haven’t been right this whole time, lol. Sorry PFT, ur behind the power curve on this one.

Even $5 mil isn’t a lot of money to these owners. Let’s be real. After taxes and agent fees, I’ll bet he clears what..$1 mil? $2? Chump change to maintain a lifestyle.
Antonio Bryant is a #2 receiver at best.

it would be good for most guys.
but this one thinks he is the #1 #1 wideout in the league.
to call him a cancer is a horrible insult out there to mere cancers.

I am guessing he’ll sign a 1-year deal with Cincinnati for between $3M-$4M per year with incentives, and a club option for a second season. Here’s why. For those of us who live in Cincinnati, we know Mike Brown NEVER comes out and talks about players he covets or thinks could help this team. For him to come out and publicly state he wants TO on this team sends a strong indicator he is more than willing to negotiate with him and give TO what he wants. $3.25M for Mike Brown is a drop in the hat, and he’ll give it to TO if that’s what it takes.
I suspect he’ll sign Wednesday so he can be in training camp on Thursday.

TO, just sign with CIN already. This is the best option I think. Just because you will have a vet QB, and a good WR core with Chad and Antonio. This will help your status and Carson’s I think. Owens will not be getting doubled teamed every play and cant since Chag and Antonio will also be on the field. All 3 of these guys are good for sure. Antonio is well underrated!

Given TO’s history, he should be playing for a bag of beans and a handshake just to prove himself.

Hey Gloryhole,
Quit bird doggin TMZ for your info, and get away from your computer. Go outside and make some friends. Try to socialize with some NFL insiders and get the info for yourself. TMZ is not a reliable NFL news source. Wow you are lazy!

TO was a great team player with the Bills last year. did not cause one problem.

By: LAEaglefan

$1 million seems to be about fair value for T.O. these days. Once he realizes that he’ll get to choose from a bunch of teams.

By: BigSuede

BigSuede — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:58:23 +0000

Am I the only one offended that a piece of garbage like Antonio Bryant gets 7 mil a year while TO, a hall of famer, is being lowballed at 3 mil a year?
That just doesn;t make any sense at all- the media has put all these team officials in hysterics over signing TO… I dont even think this is about TO, but the teams wanting to ward off the troublesome reporters
