The Niners got Moss.

The ‘Hawks (apparently) got Owens.

My money is on Dandy Randy rather than Terrible Terrell.

How desperate does Petey have to be to sign Owens?

I mean, that is bad… isn’t it?

Running a 40 below 4.5 seconds is very impressive at age 38.*

*See Darrell Green!

The guy almost had 1,000 yards even though he was a last minute sign and missed like 2 games.
Should be signed at league min though with some incentives for performance and a zero tolerance on his mouth.

I think he’d pay Seahawks to let him play on their team. Seriously that’s how bad he wants to play on any NFL team right now. Anyway there are just way too many good young and cheaper FA receivers better than the headache called “T.O.” for any team to have to deal with.

IF T.O. makes the final roster, I bet 500 bones and a couple maple bars could land him his beloved digits.

As I recall, he was not a problem with the Bills or Bengals. In addition, if he becomes a Hawk, he understands that he is extremely lucky to have landed ANYWHERE. He also can count and realizes he is almost THIRTY-NINE and has had TWO recent knee surgeries. Anyone, including TO can add these two numbers and know he is one incident from rolling another number–SNAKE EYES. He’s simply not the same person or persona as ” Popcorn TO.” He WILL behave. It’s a low-risk gamble for Hawks.

Terrell Owens will easily make the team. If Pete Carroll was so in love with his wide receivers then he would not have signed Braylon Edwards and given tryouts to Antiono Bryant and David Anderson.

I tbink he can still play but this could be disastrous

The key is not over-paying. Vet minimum. Take it or leave it.

————————————————–

Of course you guys wouldn’t guess that he’d make the team. You’ve dedicated about 99% of the articles on him as a negative and continuously kicked the man when he’s down.

Why wouldn’t he make the final 53?!

The only thing that’s kept T.O. out of football is his mouth, not his abilities.

Besides, what (1) receiver on that roster is better now that T.O. who is a year removed from the game? Sidney Rice or Golden Tate?! Please.

T.O. is physically more talented than half of the receivers in the league. I think his brush with the realities of life as a Joe Blow has helped him make the necessary mental adjustments. I predict that he will do well for the first five games, then revert back to being a knucklehead. He must be made to understand that his leash is very, very short. Then, you might get a decent season out of him.

Also, “try to sign”??? Why “try”??? He’s got other options????

I thought he was “not wanted” or “untouchable”. I thought that he “destroyed so many locker rooms no would give him a chance”.

“Try to sign him”??? Man, Ed Werder REALLY contradicted himself when he said that Terrell Owens’ agent Jordan Woy had the “worst job in sports”!!!
