Terrell Owens is still without a team but his agent claims that he is very close to signing with a warm weather team......could he be going to Miami?
I know this is speculation at its finest but if TO is only good for one year it would seem to fit our team as this TO quick fix would help us along until next years draft.
Could he be going to Miami??

Well, he certainly torched us in the 2nd bills game, that performance is normally what the Staff looks for when scouting FA's.
Besides, the Dolphins are now competing for the spotlight with the Heat.
Miami isn't the only warm weather team in the NFL. :lol:
Jacksonville is in dire need of WR help, and their owner, GM, and coach seem desperate enough to sign Owens. Seems a likely destination to me.
There's also Tampa, a young team that could use a veteran to help out for a year, even if it's TO. The question is whether or not the ownership will open their wallets.
I also like Atlanta as a dark horse. Put Owens across from Roddy White and give Matt Ryan another option. Tony Gonzalez isn't getting any younger, and the WR help would pull a defender out of the box, making life a little easier for Michael Turner.
And even though AJ Smith has said otherwise, I still think Owens could wind up in San Diego.
But I just can't see Owens as a Dolphin.
Would love to have Owens but I really doubt he would become a fin with our staff

Maybe, he has been on pros vs joes getting his basketball game up and the Heat are still in need of more players with more star power than skills.
adamprez2003 and PSG like this.
Same was said about Jason Taylor...
Come on down TO...:chuckle:..that sound we hear is the Tuna giving birth to kittens...
Amen to that! Let him go to Jacksonville.
,no.
Why not? lol
Right on, they clearly are not afraid to cut someone in midseason, if TO is a problem, then lay the smackdown and usher him out the door.
He had the Cowpokes by the short and curlies, he had a huge contract and Jerruh admitted he was going all out to win approval for his new Bunkhouse.
In Miami, he would be on the short leash as he has no leverage.
I still put the chances at maybe 10%, however I wouldn't say "no" offhand.
Old and done.
And yet he is still an elite TE.
I think TO is still a very good player, and has the potential to be a very dangerous #2 WR. Saying that, I also think he is one of the most ego-centric a**hats to ever don a helmet. I also think he'd be an entirely unnecessary distraction to our offense, especially Brandon Marshall, who is trying very hard to repair his reputation, both with his new team, and with the media.
If we sign TO, I'll be very disappointed in our front office... VERY disappointed.
Arizona or Oakland would be my guesses
TO is welcome by me... That would be great, shut our receiving corp down now!!!!

LOL TB would be perfect
Even with Boldin gone, Arizona is loaded at wide receiver. They don't need another WR, they need a QB.
Very good observation on Marshall. I haven't really thought about that.
Still, I think I would lean towards signing him and telling him he is in a time share situation from the get go. He wants to be a starter he'll have to earn it. I like his physicality, hes aways been a great red zone target, and as important is he isn't shy about run blocking which is something you know they wont overlook. Before people go calling him washed up based on stats, just look at who his QB's were last year...Trent Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Not sure any receivers would be putting up great stats with that duo throwing the passes. :wink2:

i cant imagine anyone expecting TO to come here and behave. if he came here, he'd probably get tickets to heat games, and reporters would probably question him when spotted at games, and he'd probably say the wrong things and get himself into trouble as usual.
he's a talented man, but he apparently needs to learn to keep his mouth shut and his head down and realise that his talent may fade long before his ego. i think its sad to be so gifted and not be able to get a snapped up immediately by any team. and sports center isnt the reason he is out of work...
...unless you credit it to him doing stupid things in an attempt to get on sportscenter and get some "me time" at his own demise.
I am not much of a TO fan myself because of his mouth and his baggage, but I can't help falling in love with the idea of Marshall on one side and TO on the other. Talk about play makers! Could you imagine how their attitude and skills would rub off on the rest of the WR corps?
It sure would be something to see but it doesn't seem possible. Like I said prior, this is wild speculation, but after the block buster Marshall deal anything in Miami is possible now. It's almost like someone in Miami turned all the knobs up to 10 trying to get better talent and man is it working. TO in Miami? After you think about it a while it doesn't seem that crazy. Unlikely maybe, but not crazy.
It's not happening in Miami. Elsewhere, maybe Tampa, Jacksonville, Oakland...
Two years ago, sure. Now? Owens is done. His age has as much to do with his lack of a contract as his locker room corrosiveness.
Dont see Oakland. They have Heyward Bey, Murphy, Schilens and Ford.
If we're keeping it to warm weather teams then maybe Carolina to paiur up with Smith and LaFell.
Longshot might be Texans
Jax and Taampa are definitely in the mix

Is that group out in Oakland supposed to impress anyone? Might be the worst in the league.
murphy impressed last year, heyward bey impressed this offseason and is a #1 draft pick so he isnt going anywhere and schilens has impressed in the limited time he's been healthy. Add jacoby ford who i think will be a good slot receiver and i dont see why they would bring in TO. They're all young, so I dont see replacing them with a geriatric receiver who loses a step every year
T.O. & Oakland is a match made in heaven. Why he wasn't drafted there and why he hasn't spent his entire career with that organization is beyond me. Not only should he sign with the Raiders, but he should be molded to take over for Al Davis once his days are numbered.
TO is the Barry Bonds of Football. He may just be done.
i also believe it could be the jaguars, although i wouldnt scream bloody murder, if we would sign him
im surprised noone has mentioned the chargers as a suitor.they are having issues with jackson outthere and really don't have another reciever except gates.i could see san diego way before oakland or arizona.and before you say it josh reed is no terrel owens.oops,caught it a second too late but san was mentioned already..i apologise i just woke up.

For all those receivers that supposedly "impressed" people, it's not a very impressive group.
I think you're losing the forest for the trees. Louis Murphy probably had the most outright drops as a ratio to catches of any WR in the league last year. Darius Heyward-Bey is not only a well prophecied bust but he did practically nothing last year. Chaz Schilens? When is he ever healthy, and has he even broken the 400 yard mark at any point? Oh and Jacoby Ford, yes all hail the 108th picked rookie from this year's NFL Draft.
They may not sign Terrell Owens, they may not like the headaches he comes with or they may feel he's asking too much money or some such reason, but I can tell you there's no player on the roster whether singly or in combination that tells anyone with some sense that they don't need a proven WR.
