Anyone Beginning To Think T.O. May Not Return?...

[CaptainAmerica]

...I know this goes against the CW and I'm not predicting T.O. won't return next year, because Jerry has said he would, (but Jerry also said he would say that about every player on the team at that point in time), but I am beginning to hear some things that make me question whether it's a certainty that T.O. will return.

For example:

1) On his radio interview today, Wade hedged a bit on the question of T.O. returning and said he and Jerry would discuss it and he mentioned the roster bonus that is coming due.

2) Then tonight on his "Around the League" report, Adam Schefter brought up the question about T.O.'s return next season and said Jerry and Wade would discuss it. Schefter then mentioned the cap savings to Dallas if T. O. is not retained. Schefter did not say anything to indicate T.O. was definitely returning next year.

3) Then you add in the curious tidbit about T.O.'s nameplate not being on his locker and the only other player that was missing was Bledsoe (who everyone knows is not coming back) and I begin to wonder if there aren't some signs that say T. O. may not return next year.

Thoughts?

Don't forget the spaceships spotted over Virginia, these ominous signs all point to TO's departure.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Having a new, player-friendly coach might help, too.

"I think that it can work," Jones said. "Wade has a good track record, as he said, of working with players. With what I know about Terrell and the relationship I had with Terrell, that's a potential good fit personality-wise and style-wise."

Owens has said he's willing to come back, but isn't sure the team wants him. Just to be safe, he cleared out his locker and stripped off his nameplate. When team owner Jerry Jones gave Phillips a tour of the locker room Thursday night, it was the only nameplate missing.

not disagreeing, but what else would he say right now?

:laugh2:

Same type of smarta** responses I received this past Sunday when I posted that Charley Casserly said on the SB pre-game show that in his "reading of the tea leaves" the signs pointed to a DEFENSIVE HIRE as HC and not Norv. Funny how that turned out.

The Nameplate is probably sumthing T.O had in mind, just to make ESPN go crazy. I'm also just making this up..its a possibility.

Unless you are trading draft picks with Oakland to get Calvin Johnson, its a pipe dream.

Like him or hate him... He will be back

 

[SultanOfSix]

Not really. We don't have any other options if we let him go. Also, I see no reason to. He wasn't a problem or a distraction to the team at all last year. He stilled scored 13 TDs despite Bledsoe, some injury problems, and all the media induced speculation that surrounded him.

I think that Jerry said pretty unequivocally either today or yesterday that Owens would be back, and I think what he says trumps the speculation of mediots like Schefter... how do you reckon he'd know whether or not TO is definitely returning this year??

I also think that the infamous missing nameplate doesn't mean jack, inasmuch as Owens himself took it down...

IOW, I think your speculation is kinda silly... or perhaps it might be more accurate to say it's little more than wishful thinking on your part...

As for me, I make it at least 20-1 that ol' Eldorado will be playing in a Cowboys uni next year...

T.O. Will not be returning. Per the NFLN interview down in Miami Terrell will be signed to take his place.

I like it..

 

[the kid 05]

If he doesn't we would be shooting our selfs in the foot.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I for one think T.O. will be back in a Cowboys uniform unless they decide to draft a big name WR in the first round and suddenly decide his bonus due in June isn't worth paying out.....

 

[theogt]

I'm beginning to think that people will question this until the day he steps foot on the field for Week 1.

 

[the kid 05]

how do you feel about it ogt?

 

[theogt]

He'll be around and he'll be productive. He'll say a few stupid things and people will cry about it. No big deal.

[gazmc_06]

he ain't going nowhere, every team has a franchise player and he is ours so if we lose owens we lose our franchise player. T.O. is always productive (even with one hand) and that will continue next season thankfully.
