the eagles arent getting ish for him...whoever he decides to go to will have been determined before hes released...and that team will have an oral agreement with TO...thus no need to give up anything to aquire him

That's what I've been saying from the get go, but it seems more and more likely now. Idiots.

Common sense would say that you're right. But there are a wrenches that could be thrown into that...

1. As the Post mentions, they could trade for him (they have 9 draft picks at their disposal) to ensure that they own his rights. Then they tear up the Eagles contract before the bonuses are due and give him a news deal.

2. If they do a wink-wink, nod-nod under the table agreement then Rosenhaus has them by the short hairs. He could freely go out an pimp that deal to other teams. And if he finds a team willing to give up more then he will not hesitate to screw the Broncos over for more cash.

If they really want him, I think they will trade for him to make sure that knucklehead is on their team. Because if they fail to land him the WR market is weak and they might not get anyone to help them.

trading for him does not assure that he will play for you....however a phat contract does...and whoever cakes him off him the most will guarantee that they get him...thats what all these meetings are about

If the Broncos are absolutely desperate for him, and by these meetings, it sounds like they are--they are not going to take the chance of him being a FA and signing with the likes of the Skins, Boys, or worse--the Raiders. This is similar to when the 49ers gave him 48 hours to make his own deal with another team--then when they had agreed to compensation with the Eagles, they tried to trade him to the Ravens. With other teams like the Boys, Skins, Tampa, the Jets, and most assuredly the Raiders already having publicly declared their interest in him, Denver will trade for him--agains, similar to the Randy Moss deal last year--where Minny and Oakland AGREED IN FEBRUARY to do the deal, but it didn't become official until March. I don't expect the Broncos to give up any higher than a 4th.

I'd take a 4th in a heartbeat.

I know it all about winning but after what TO and Rosenhaus did last year I just cannot imagine anyone taking a chance on such a cancer. Why has to stuck with Rosenhaus - he doesn't owe him a think. Is there anyone who thinks that if TO had not signed with Rosenhaus that maybe, just maybe, none of this would have happened?

Maybe the Broncos, could just reimburse Eagle fans who bought T.O. Jerseys, I'd take that offer in a heartbeat.

Lot's of teams will.
He wasn't a choir boy in San Francisco, but the Eagles and Ravens were fighting over him.
Even after last year, teams are willing to give him a shot. Coaches look at talent first, and rationalize the rest.

I still wouldn't bet on the Eagles getting any compensation for TO. They have no bargaining power.

The eagles do have some power, it's if a team does not want T.O. to hit the market, they could deal a low pick to the Eagels after they work out a deal with T.O.

i have a little invention i'm working on, it may help with that. i call it the postal system, it involves a network of people transporting things that people are sending to others, i've yet work out all the details, but i got a good feeling about this one.

the broncos are the same position we were in 3 years ago. super bowl bound and desparate for anybody to help us get there. too bad the entire world now knows that TO is waiting to snap. especially in a run happy offense. oh man i can;t wait for that blow-out. that little bitch was in the best position a receiver could be in and he proved proved what kind of person he is and as a teamate. selfish fargin prick.
