T.O. to Oakland too??
For anyone who hasn't heard, rumor has it that the Philadelphia Eagles are in trade discussions with the Oakland Raiders. The trade would be Terrell Owens for Jerry Porter.
Linky http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/sports/0...wenstrade.html Personally, I would be ok with it even if it meant that the Eagles were mediocre this year until Porter learned the system. It would also make the Raiders the best team in football if the 2 recievers could co-exist, and if Collins can get them the ball. In reality you could probably have Bobby Hoying out there lobbing passes and win the Super Bowl with those two. |
You think anyone can co-exist with TO? I doubt it. He was damned impressive in the Super Bowl, but it seemed like he poisoned his team. (As a Pats fan) I don't think even the Pats could reign him in and make him a team player.
|
There's <b>NO</b> way the two biggest ego's in the game can co-exist. This will never fall through. Plus Oakland doesn't have a quarterback who can get the ball to either one so it wouldn't matter anyway and both of them would just bitch about their receptions. Heh.

Fantastic trade for two groups:
Philly, as they get a great receiver back. All the fans who pay-per-view for the Moss-TO SuperDeathmatch sometime in mid-November. |
I hope he gets traded asap. My buddy always uses the Eagles in madden and TO burns me. The sooner he's traded and my roster is updated, the better.
|
As a rabid Raiders fan, I have mixed feelings.
There's the realistic side of me, that says "Moss and T.O. cannot coexist." But... there's the other side. The one that really would make me excited to watch every single game. If they were both there, and (in a perfect world) not complaining every snap, HOW DOES ANYONE COVER BOTH OF THEM?! Moss and T.O. can beat man coverage. You can't double both of them. And if the defence drops back into the zone, pound the ball up the middle on a draw or something. Back to realism, however: The Raiders gave so much to Porter in signing bonuses that it'd be a harsh hit on the cap next year. I don't see this happening. And my above dream can still come true with Moss/Porter. (But if this happens, I'll buy a Owens silver & black jersey to go along with my Moss one.) |
Be nice to see TO go to Cle. or Cincy. But since that won't happen let him go to Al Davis' team and watch as Moss and he sit out 1/2 the year fighting each other and the team over who is better, who should get more receptions, which one isn't team oriented.... and so on.
It'll kill the Radiers. |
it's not going to happen, nothing but a rumor to stir up buzz. as godzilla said, after all the shit with porter, its simply not going to happen, it would be stupid.
|
It's official, it's BS.

ESPN Radio also had Chris Mortenson on todat telling Dan Patrick that while TO's agent is asking teams about a possible trade, The Eagles did not give him permission.
I guess he will be stuck with the deal he signed last year, unless he holds out. My money will be on the eagles not backing down. They have never renegotiaited contracts (i'm fairly sure of this but sorry if wrong). Also, they didn't win the Super Bowl with TO last year, they can not win it without him this year. heh PS I think it would be the best thing ever if he held out and they did win the Super Bowl though.. I just had to use that line. |
Most NFL contracts are structured that in the 2nd year players take a pay cut.
But in the 3rd year their salary will go up. TO is a very good receiver, but he is not bigger than the game. The Eagles will never back down and I don't believe that they will trade him. |
I don't know where he's going but by the sounds of it, probably won't be with the eagles.

Yeah. He's doing it for his family. sure. because the eagles don't pay him enough to feed or clothe his family and they're starving homeless on the street. What a baby. |
He doesn't get much sympathy from me in Baltimore.
He's not going anywhere, except maybe Oakland since he'll be cheap and they might be the only ones willing. |
He'll be there. I don't care how much he want's a new contract, he's not going to pass on 9 million just to make a point. And the Eagles are farking lucky for that fact too, because they still have 0 chance to win a Super Bowl without him.
|
If I went in and told my boss that I needed an extra 7 million a year to feed my family, I'd get bitch slapped.
|
I'd fuckin deserve it too.................... :lol:
