I was watching this video on nfl network and it was interesting. On one hand he can play, he could be one of the alpha receivers in this team this season, while on the other hand he runs his mouth a lot and giving him a roster spot would take one spot away from our younger wrs who we want to get better (Cunningham, Fuller, Marshall). My guess is that he replaces Legedu Naanee or Julius Pruitt. Any thoughts?

Will never happen in a million years and Ocho and T.O. I think you have to keep separated. I think Ocho can behave just fine on his own, but mix him up with T.O. and they'll be ****ing around with reality shows, constant distractions, etc. etc. After his Buffalo stint I was open to the idea but pretty sure at this point he's not worth the trouble. The guy couldn't even be humble playing arena league football.

It's amazing how a know-nothing in front of a camera can open his mouth and suddenly the inanity he spews becomes a legitimate topic of discussion.

Does ANYONE remember that Jeff Ireland was in Dallas when Terrell Owens did his thing there? It's not happening in Miami.

TO would be a good fit on any team. Dude can still play and has been a good teamate unless you don't put in the work you should. Even that he has chilled on a ton.

TO has not caused any problems team wise for a loooooong time. When TO and Johnson were in Cincy, it was actually said TO kept Johnson in line. Besides, I would take TOs talent anyday. Guy does not shoot himself in the leg, kill dogs, get DUIs or get stabbed by his spouse. Same goes for Chad Johnson.

Give me both of them. Some do not like both their antics. Never bothered me, neither one. When they were at their best IMO, they could recite anything they want. TO was no problem in Buffalo and TO was no problem in Cincy.

Did you hear about the whole deal with him refusing to visit a children's hospital while playing for an arena league team? I would have agreed with you, but he couldn't even avoid being a huge pain in the ass there.

He hasn't been on a team with beat writers in a long time.

I did not hear about it but if an entire league refuses to do something, how can you single out TO for the blame ?

I think T.O. would leave about as much of a mark as Cris Carter did when he played for us.

I agree.It will all be about TO .Carter talked a big game and enjoyed the attention but he did little for the team.It was all about him.:pity:

Carter left a mark that hurt. I'll never forget the drop in the game against his former team.

You read that wrong. The poster was talking about the "whole" incident. The whole league did not refuse. It was just T.O. being T.O. and they fired him just like every other team seems to want to do after bringing him in.

This is what I was thinking about. He talks smack but hasnt really gotten into much legal trouble with the league at all. And about the whole point of nobody wanting him, Randy Moss playe for 3 teams in 1 season. Moss got his second chance and its of little risk to the 49ers. Bringing TO into camp would be of little risk to us. TO wants to prove himself after his exit from the nfl. I say give him a chance and if he doesnt wow the coaches he gets the boot

Yup. I did a poor job of wording it. Edited to make it clearer.

I've been wondering that for a long time, as it pertains to NFLN. The man deserves a job if he wants one, but he'd be better suited for pumping gas, or working in a 7-11.

From my point of view, I do not want Terrell "I love me some me" Owens anywhere near this team.

Id take Owens if he promised to staple his lips shut. As a player fine. As a person, what a douche....

Now that, I could get behind! Or on top, or underneath, or, well you know . . .

T.O.: Hell NO! Sorry for my language, but no f***ing way, not and expect me to support this team. And Ireland indeed is never going to deal with T.O. on this team, he had enough in Dallas.

What an interesting idea. This proud, tradition-filled franchise, become a repository for aging, unwanted divas at the vet minimum.

Have we come to this? Is this the poster child of desperation this franchise has become, that some hack reporter is even suggesting that we should be considering this, after having drafted Ted Ginn Jr., Patrick Turner, Clyde Gates, Brian Hartline, and Derek Hagan in the last six years? Certainly seems so.

Can you imagine the media feeding frenzy? It's almost worth it just to sit back and watch the show.

If this is where we're going (and I seriously doubt it), why stop at Ochocinco and T.O.? Why not Plaxico and Edwards, too? All we would have to do is add a psychiatrist to the medical staff and hire about ten full-time minders for the security staff. Then let the air show begin. Oh, wait a minute. We're still looking for someone to throw it...
