    Dude, he's 35. Even with Romo, he didn't play that well. He is clearly on the decline and the headaches he brings to the lockerroom, he isn't worth it if your a serious contender.

    However, I do actually think Baltimore could take a shot. Flacco proved to be legit and Owens won't mouth off if Ray Lewis is there. Lewis will knock his fucking head off. Baltimore, even though Owens refused to play there earlier in his career, is the only "contender" I can see taking a shot at him.

    He was struggling with Brad Johnson for 3 games but still had 10 TDs and over a thousand yards dude. The week Romo came back he had 200 yards receiving in a game, he's a wideout not a Running back, he can be a deadly weapon still. The guy keeps himself in great shape.

    All the contenders should take a shot with him, stop being soft I'd tell them.

    Well Roy Williams was cut too. The Saints should sign him. Any safety right now would help!

    And his 10 TD's and 1000 yards didn't help the Boys out, they still missed the playoffs. He is a proven locker room cancer. He was a problem in SF, Philly, and Dallas. His stats aren't worth the headaches and complications he brings. Romo and Witten are tight and have great chemistry? What does TO do about it? He bitches about it. McNabb and Owens don't get a long? He airs McNabb out through the media. He is a headache. Indy doesn't need him, NE doesn't need him, SD doesn't need him, Pittsburgh doesn't need him, and other contenders don't need him. There is no need to risk fucking up the chemistry if you've got a shot at winning it all.

    He was amazing in the Superbowl, I question how he's become the sole reason why they lost against the Ravens and Eagles. That defense, silly turnovers combined with Brad Johnson cost them the playoffs, not TO.

    He was worse in Philly and San Fran. He bitched about Witten in private right? I don't recall him ever saying anything in public about the situation, some of his teammates leaked this info. As I said, he was worse before, I wasn't terribly offended by his actions as a Cowboy.

    Winning is all that matters, at the very least he has always behaved well in his first season with a new team. Teams should definitely sign him, if it doesn't work just cut him. Players will stay that emotionally scarred from just a couple of weeks with TO? That's pathetic, I don't buy it either. ESPN loves screwing with him and talking about him.

    The Super Bowl was a few years back, at the end of his prime. He isn't a prime player anymore.

    If your on the cusp of being a championship team, it isn't worth risking it. TO isn't going to sign for the minimum, his ego won't allow it.

    There isn't any risk when he'll get paid close to the minimum, he's a bargain.

    TO is always on his best behavior his first year with a team. Whoever gets him should sign him to a 1 year deal.

    He sort of reminds me of Manny Rameriez. Great talent, but I wonder how many teams are actually interested in him.

    And I highly doubt that with his ego and the stunt he pulled in Philly, that he would take anything anywhere near the vet's minimum. lol

    And you think with his ego he'll settle for the minimum?

    He'll be close to an angel when he's about to get blackballed from the league.

    I'll say he won't go to the Raiders, some team will get desperate/hurt or go all out and take him. Even now you hear Ravens and Titans in the rumor mill.
