Lock Dan Snyder and Vinny in a Room, TO is a FA

[Skinzlover223]

Someone needs to get to Redskins Park and locked the front office in a room. TO has been cut.

You couldn't have put this in the other TO thread in the NFL forum?

Have you seen this funny graphic about Vinny's fake gmail account?

[Redskinfan28]

Its just gossip, but Mike Fiorio (sp) from profootballtalk was on this junkies this morning and said that he thinks TO ends up with the Redskins. He thinks that Snyder will not pass up this opportunity to sell tickets in this economy by signing the big name. He also said the Redskins crave the big WR, which is why they were willing to give up so much for Johnson last year.

I hope we pass on TO, but I have a bad feeling about this. If Snyder wants him, he will get him for the publicity and ticket sales.

Can you imagine TO wearing Art Monk's jersey (is it retired?). :sfight:

[firehawk157]

No, please post it again, preferably in it's own thread.

[redskin_rich]

Never mind about TO, Danny and Vinny need to be locked in a room permanently, anyway. Better yet, seal them up aboard the next scheduled satellite launch.

[BSMKF]

I have that weird feeling also that T.Owens will be a Skin.

[Moe]

It certainly wouldn't surprise me to see him sign with the Skins, but it'd be about as easy to swallow as it was to root for Deion. Sadly he's better than any WR we have (and likely he knows it) so I find this very conflicting.

This would be worse the Sanders, worse then Jeff George....this would be the owrst ever singning in the history of the NFL and I would be embarrassed to root for a team with him on it.

[Skins-fo-life]

T.O is a cancer but I would expect him to be a skin. He fits the formula. An older player on the downside of his career and in his 30's. Given that said he is still better than any receiver currently on our roster. I would fully expect this to get done even though I'm not supporting it since they have the caproom now.

that is the key.. he is clearly better than anyone we currently have

[Skins-fo-life]

I'm sure it is a busy morning inside the park. I'm waiting for the skins to release a statement that they are not interested in T.O. then they will announce later that he has agreed to terms with them. Sadly that is how it works....

and somehow Denver will get a 4th round pick because of it...dont ask me how but they will lol

[CampbellforMVP]

It wouldnt make us any worst. Could you imagine any other #2 CB trying to cover Santana? I dont think so. I would actually like to see washington make an offer to see where we stand in all this.

No matter how good he is on the field, he'll always be worse off of it.

[svetere]

Everyone knows that TO is happy for about 2 seasons. We sign him to a 2-year deal and then cut ties with him. Having a wide receiver like TO will make our offense better and possibly Jason Campbell better.

[JsMaViSd]

if he comes relatively cheap id take a shot. but dont break the bank. I think him being opposite Moss could help a lot.

[jaggedice]

The Herd just said that a high ranking official from the redskins has told mort that the redskins are 100% not interested in TO. case closed.... (Yeah right)

[JsMaViSd]

still not buying it.

long time redskin fan here,but if we were to sign t.o., think i would have to stop being a fan until danny boy,and butt boy were no longer with the team.

I can confirm that report, but if it came from Vinny who knows.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

On the other hand, if we sign him to go along with the other big signings and fail. It will be a failure of epic proportions. Maybe then, we will get the FO changes we need.

Of course, it may leave Zorn in the funny farm too.

[S.Taylor36]

After calling around the league, ESPN's Chris Mortensen says the Redskins, Vikings, and Ravens are all very unlikely to show interest in Terrell Owens.
Mort was definitive with the Redskins, saying "No way." Owens clashed with Vikings coach Brad Childress in Philly, and Ravens coach John Harbaugh was there as well. Both saw how divisive Owens could be up close, and reportedly want no part of him. With early reports suggesting the New York teams as unlikely landing spots, Oakland looks like the most logical destination.

that much is true.. if you want the skins to blow up the team and start over from scratch, signing TO would certainly light the fuse

Im going to start my own T.O thread now as well.

to make sure the fuse was lit,sign roy williams also (safety ) see he was released also.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

I have to come clean on something. Let me preface this by saying, you long time posters know that I don't post ridiculous posts just to be outlandish.

But, secretly I hope we sign him. I know...I know.

After the age of the oline, WR to me is our weakest position. It was our weakest after 2007, and the three draft picks did nothing to improve the position. We go into this season with a lot of hope that the three picks improve enough to improve the position, but what if they don't? There are certainly no guarantees on any of them. High pick WR and TE's bust all the time.

Owens is still a top 5 WR even though he led the league in drops. He is older, but keeps himself in better phyical condition than just about anyone else in the NFL. I know all about off the field, but the guy is a gamer. No one can deny that. The way the FO runs the team, we are never more than a 1-2 year plan, so why not go all in and sign TO?

[AliBabba]

Im going to start my own T.O thread now as well.
i heard Vinny's gmail account was hacked ... can you grab a picture of that to put in there to see if TO's mentioned?

The death knell has sounded.... :( Any denial, any ridiculous denial is merely smoke and mirrors while Danny Boy and Butt Boy feverishly contemplate the $$$ TO will bring. Yeah, it may be an upgrade to our WRs... but it will be the downfall of our team.

I don't think TO is the receiver he was 3 years ago. I think age has finally started to catch up to him. He had 2 100+ yd plus games last year. One against a San Fran team who decided to give him a free release and the other was against a 44-6 blow-out to the Eagles. That's 30% of his production in 2 games.

That's a good point. I didn't really consider that. He has had big games against us, but not last year.

[skinsfan36]

glad hes not comin here. im predicting he becomes a bronco or buccaneer

The Bucs just franchised Bryant and don't have a QB so i doubt that

[Redskinmayhem]

I seriously lol'd at that.

Denver gets our 4th this year and our 2nd next. :smash:

[wewantdallas]

Has he helped any of the teams he's been with win a championship?

No.

Has he destroyed the locker rooms of any teams he's been with?

Yes, all of them.

Why would anyone want this clown?

To paraphrase Christian Bale, "he is done professionally."

[Tha Boss Hogg]

T.O. will be a raider, the Skins should learn that anybody the Boys let go is washed up and not worth it, they know we would take their good players as soon as they are available, (Remember Deon Sanders)

Not to defend him, but he did take Phila. to the SB, a place they never were in the McNabb/Reid era before him or since him.

They didn't need him in the NFC playoffs that year. They made it to the super bowl without him.

CERRATO CONFIRMS THAT THE ‘SKINS DON’T WANT T.O.
Posted by Mike Florio on March 5, 2009, 12:30 p.m.
At a time when some mixed reports were beginning to emerge as to whether the Washington Redskins are interested in receiver Terrell Owens, the team has removed all doubt on the matter.

Per the team’s official web site, executive V.P. of football operations Vinny Cerrato says that the team has no interest.

“[Owens’s representatives] called us three years ago before he went to Dallas, and we didn’t have interest then,” Cerrato said. “Why would we have interest when he’s three years older now? We have no interest.”

Yeah, but they were in 3 NFC Championship games before he came along and if memory serves, he didn't even play in the playoffs that year thanks to Roy Williams taking his leg out. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think he made a huge difference on that team overall because his horrific attitude countered all the good he did on the field as a player. Which has pretty much been the case everywhere he's been.

Actually, strike "pretty much."

[dj_stouty]

TO should go to Oakland with the rest of the malcontents.

No chance he goes to NE; as he and Randy would mix like oil and water.

My guess is that he goes to Minnesota.

[The Iceman]

Thank goodness our FO realizes who can help our team this offseason and who can't. This is a good non-signing.

carolina- might be desperate enough

san diego-- norv would love him

san francisco-- desperate for receivers

cleve-- mangini wants his version of randy moss

the jets--- he belongs in the big apple

[SkinsfaninNJ]

As I said earlier, he is going to have very few suitors (if any). Lesser matters like the QB situation will not matter in this case. He should be very happy if the phone rings at all.

PFT has a list of teams that have said no to TO. It is not quite up to date as a few more have said no, but at this point I think more than half the league has already said no.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/05/the-anti-to-list/

[SkinsfaninNJ]

I guess its good we don't go after him, but it doesn't change my level of concern for the WR position. No players on the Skins have more pressure than Kelly and Thomas this season.

[sinskin]

With a OLB in need .... a vet CB.... OLine help and hopefully signing a RT on Draft day and maybe DE.... Just restructured ARE .... Moss, ARE, Kelly, Thomas, Davis and Cooley why on earth does this discussion merit discussion?

It seems the main people who want to see TO here are the guys in the media. According to the POST Vinny and Danny have expressed no interest. I am completely happy with that decision.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

With about 2/3 of the league announcing no interest in TO, how long before he is on a roster? Maybe it takes all the way until a #1 receiver gets hurt in camp or preseason.

Ok, then Marvin Harrison gets signed lol. Maybe 3-4 injuries and a dog fighting trial involving an entire team's WR corps...then he'll be signed lmao.

[colkurtz]

Signing TO would cause a revolt against Snyderrato rivaling the Deon debacle.

I think the team wants to see what the last year's rookie WR can do and he's just a cancer not worth his diminishing talent.

I'm glad we didn't take this Cowgirl castoff.

Last post in this thread?

[Santheb]

I bet he goes to Chicago.

[firehawk157]

I think he'd go best in NE. Brady and Belicheck are the only guys who could handle him. I think Peyton could too actually. As for who will take him, I think JAX

[SkinsfaninNJ]

I would love if the Jags signed him. There is some d-bag writer for the team website, not sure of his name, but his blog is Ask Vic. He always claims moral high ground on behalf of the Jags against the Skins constantly criticizing Snyder. Signing TO would take away most of that moral high ground.

[Moe]

oakland

has to be considered

st loo (wishing him on spags,lol)

interesting option. he'd be the primary guy, sell some tickets, give them some juice but he isn't winning anything there.

carolina- might be desperate enough

no way. Richardson's stance on character players makes Gibbs look like a street walker. They want Holt anyway.

san diego-- norv would love him

Would be a trainwreck or the piece that elevates them. Norv couldn't handle him, but Rivers might be able to and if so, they'd be a scary offense.

san francisco-- desperate for receivers

Poetic. The circle is complete.

cleve-- mangini wants his version of randy moss

definitely be a statement move and like St. Louis, he'd get butts in seats. I think he'd dominate Edwards and Quinn and it'd end in ruin, but it'd be fun to watch.

the jets--- he belongs in the big apple

it does seem like NY is the logical location, but unless they swing for a QB with more cache than Clemmons, I don't see it.

While he'd be a square peg in a seemingly round hole, I think he'd make some sense in Indy. There's enough veteran leadership and you know Manning would 1) not take his antics and 2) probably give him enough looks to keep him in check for a year, that IMO he'd be a decent stopgap for them until they can fill in Harrison's spot. Manning, Wayne, Gonzo, TO....not an offense I think anyone would look forward to playing.

[PA skins fan]

if we pull the famous were not interested and sign him. Not only will I stop being a redskins fan, I will stop watching NFL football all together until TO is out of washington.

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

sf!if he starts his little dog and pony show there mike singletary will use him for a practice bag or tackling dummy.
