Eagles working to trade TO?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Kansas City's involvement in this circus screams "since Denver is our rival we're throwing our hat into the ring to drive up the price".

I would also prefer to see him go to the AFC, however, if Denver is offering a 4 and Washington is offering a 2 I take the 2nd round pick.

[PhillyFan]

Chris Mortenson shot down the taterskins rumor. Said it won't happen.

Huh?  I just heard him on ESPN radio ten minutes ago say the taterskins were the favorite to get TO. 

[The BIGSTUD]

Really?

That's weird.

So KC is driving up the price for Denver, but Wash isn't for Dallas?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Washington and Dallas haven't definitley come out and expressed interest, Qwert.

If TO visits Dallas or Rosenhaus discusses numbers with Skeletor Jones, then I would agree that Washington might be driving up the price.

But TO visitied Denver and Carl Peterson said they might be interested. They are divison rivals with interest documented by both sides.

Washington has denied interest. I heard Mort say NO to Washington on SportsCenter too.

Damn, I've been busy.  Catching up on this thread...

I'm awful tired of you, wiggy.  You care.

last i heard, he was at a body shop in Havertown getting the ridges in his skull filled with Bondo

Trotter sucks.

Amen.  I'll cheer the day he's done.  He's a decent middle linebacker, sure.  But he's a tool with a capital T.  The defining moment of his career was just before the opening game in '05.  Gettting ejected from a game because he was a farging dumbass. 

ok, pop quiz hotshot...

Take the second and then beat them twice this year.  Der.

Now you realize why I use the  face?

Because no one undertands your alleged sense of humor?  If not that then no, I don't understand why you harp on that goddamned smiley.

Either way you really need to work on your delivery.

Word.

I don't care how much revenge you guys want on him, I'm dealing him to an AFC team if I'm Reid...

I take the highest offer, and I hope it's from an AFC team.  If I'm Reid.  And I get another plate from the press buffet.  Times yours.

yeah, you'd be idiotic to trade him to a division rival.  He'd be spiking the ball on the Eagles logo after scoring on Philly's horrible defense filled with crappy linebackers.

Bring it.  Maybe if he did, Donovan himself would play the role of Teague.  Or maybe not.  I'll put in a call to Calvin, just in case Donovan wimps out.

TO is in full control of this situation

   That's rich.

the question is simply this: do you believe there is a team out there will give up something for TO if he says hes not going to play for them?

I really hate to encourage you, but I see your point.  TO says to a team: I'll make such a stink you won't want me.  What team would defy him? 

All the same, I think you mistake his posture.  He's in repentant mode.  He won't make demands until he's been a good boy and proven himself to daddy.

I hope to god we trade him the Skins. I will die pointing and laughing at their hypocrisy when they all run out and buy #81 jerseys.

Word.

I think my hate-fueled organs (which are all of them) might explode if TO joins the Skins.

Double word.

Look, TO said the Eagles would be sorry if they didn't make him happy.  I'd say he nailed that one.  If he says it again, do you think the offering team wouldn't think twice about trading for him?

This is where wiggy's audacious "throw enough shtein on the wall and eventually some will stick" gimmick starts to stick.  It makes sense what you say.

Oh you didn't hear...i'm giving up the copper business. 
I'm throwing my hat into the teaching circle.

Maybe you aren't a complete idiot afterall.  What subject are you going to teach?  Follow the leader?

[JTrotter Fan]

Hahahaha!  You are hilarious.  I'll be teaching 9th/10th grade history...my degree is in this field.

[bobbyinlondon]

Well, in IGY's defense, we had (theoretically) agreed to trade Simon to Baltimore, and he nixed that trade with ridiculous demands.  I can see a scenario like IGY describes.

Look, TO said the Eagles would be sorry if they didn't make him happy.  I'd say he nailed that one.  If he says it again, do you think the offering team wouldn't think twice about trading for him?

There was a difference in the Simon situation--Simon WAS a FA who was a franchise-designated player. Owens ALREADY is under contract. And the Eagles could make Owens a footnote in history--just pay the bonus, keep him , and deactivate him every Sunday. I'm pretty sure, even if he's not saying it now, that he knows the Eagles have no problem suspending him or deactivating him. Then he'd have two choices--keep his mouth shut and play (or go to whomever they trade him to), or retire.

SKINS SAY NO GO ON T.O.



In the wake of reports suggesting that the Washington taterskins are now the favorites to land receiver Terrell Owens, we decided to go straight to the source and ask whether the reports are accurate.



taterskins Senior Vice President Karl Swanson told us that it's not going to happen.  "We think Terrell is an exceptional talent, however, we do not see him as a fit with the taterskins," Swanson said Wednesday night.



There have you it, folks.  An official statement that the taterskins are not -- and will not be -- in the mix for Owens.



This development, if acknowledged by the media generally, could throw a bucket of cold water on the smoldering stew of rumors suddenly linking Owens to multiple suitors.



With that said, someone is sure to sign him.  The only question is how much he'll get paid, and whether the Eagles will get anything in trade.

you really need to cease speaking on this issue

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'd have to agree, IGY.  Really stupid post, bobby.

[MadMarchHare]

That being said, I'd love to see this exact situation occur.

[Father Demon]

That had to take a lot of time, Dio.

Classic...

Why? You don't think it COULD happen? Give me a fargin break. Hey, last season, when all of this stuff was blowing up IN TRAINING CAMP, I said that his days with the Eagles were numbered--and I was accused of posting shtein because you guys said I didn't know what I was talking about.  Well, HIS DAYS AS AN EAGLE ARE NUMBERED--so I think I was pretty spot on.
