Eagles working to trade TO?

[rjs246]

Yeah dude. That guy's skull-skin-rolls are farging weird. Too bad he can't sack anyone with them. Then he'd have little quarterbacks sticking out of his dome creases. The ladies love that.

Elizabeth Merrill, of the Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs' president/general manager Carl Peterson told the newspaper Tuesday, Jan. 31, that Kansas City was "somewhat interested" in Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens and that Peterson planned to have an in-depth conversation with new head coach Herm Edwards about the possibility of acquiring Owens. Two things have apparently piqued the Chiefs' interest, the hope of a possible attitude makeover after Owens' suspension by the Eagles, and Edwards' success in working with difficult players. The Chiefs probably will wait to see whether Owens is cut. A source familiar with the situation told The Star that an incentive-laden, one-year deal would be a possibility.

I hear Clarrett was fast for the Big Ten.

You know, the more teams interested the more they'll be willing to pay for his services. Competition should drive his price up.  Anything more than a 4th or 5th and I'd be thrilled.

If he does end up going to the Broncos in a trade, that's definitely our best shot of getting something worthwhile in return, since shanahan obviously doesn't care about high draft picks that much.

But if you read Les Bowen's article you'll see that Sheldon Brown said that it was only one guy campaigning for TO and that was Trotter.

Trotter sucks.

Not to mention, if KC's interested the Broncos might up the ante a bit just to keep him away from them.

I'd be thrilled with that.  Considering that we only gave up a 5th for him in the first place... the idea of getting that same pick back or even a round better while TO is two years older and two blown up locker rooms later... gives me that football wood all the kids are talking about these days.

Sources: Five teams going after Owens
By BOB GROTZ, bobgrotz@aol.com02/01/2006

Two other teams -- one in the NFC and another in the AFC, sources said -- also are seriously interested in Eagles outcast Terrell Owens, who met Tuesday in Denver with the Broncos. Nonetheless the Broncos are "very, very much" in the hunt for Owens, according to sources that spoke on condition of anonymity.

Owens might command a respectable draft pick as compensation if a handful of teams get into a bidding war, according to a source. The Eagles gave Owens and agent Drew Rosenhaus permission to arrange a trade for the wide receiver with four years left on his contract. Owens is due $7.5 million if he remains on the Eagles roster after March 3.

The bigger story for Eagles fans is quarterback Donovan McNabb, who said at a Campbell's Chunky Soup appearance at Super Bowl XL in Detroit he's healthy after his hernia surgery and itching to get back to work -- without T.O.

McNabb, a reach to participate fully in the team's early May minicamp, told reporters inquiring about the eccentric Owens, who criticized him en route to getting kicked off the team last season, "a great player."

McNabb also said he would be happy to discuss Owens with quarterback buddy Jake Plummer of the Broncos.

"I imagine he'll be calling me," McNabb said.

The NFC's Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, plus the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins of the AFC all have expressed interest in Owens according to sources. The Eagles prefer that Owens play in the AFC. The Florida teams are said to have a strong attraction for Owens.

The trading period and free agency begin March 3.

The Broncos are a veteran team that might have less trouble plugging in a problematic but talented player like Owens. Coach Mike Shanahan almost certainly wouldn't sign Owens without protections written into the contract. Shanahan reportedly told Owens he would not put up with misbehavior. Owens reportedly said he'd been misunderstood, a contention he made almost daily in 11/2 seasons with the Eagles.

The Broncos recently signed Mike Heimerdinger, a protégé of Shanahan's, to replace offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, who exited to become head coach of the Houston Texans.

Veteran center Tom Nalen, among other Broncos, endorsed the addition of Owens, saying "I think he'd conform to our standards."

One thing is all but certain -- the Broncos need juice, having watched a 13-3 season blow up in the conference championship round largely due to the lack of a passing game.

ok, pop quiz hotshot...

Dallas is willing to give you a 2nd while everybody else will give you a 5th.  what do you do?  what do you do?

[PhillyGirl]

Say "Farg Dallas" and move on.

[Feva]

Dallas might as well turn their asses around and go sit down.

Shanahan reportedly told Owens he would not put up with misbehavior. Owens reportedly said he'd been misunderstood, a contention he made almost daily in 11/2 seasons with the Eagles.

That's it Mike.  Go ahead and fall for the okey-doke.

[Rome]

Misunderstood?




How many times is that infant going to use that line of bullshtein and expect grown men to fall for it??

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Incorrect.  You take the 2nd.
