I figured the anti TO threads had received enough run here in the fan zone so this news deserves equal attention as well. I have stayed out of those thread mostly because they served little purpose but mainly because he no longer wears the star. Well... looky loo... He may get his original asking price (with incentives as it should be) and will play for a playoff team. I know those of us that despise his very existence are gripping right now but, rest assured, he no longer wears the star. So don't fret too much.

Where is the story, and if he has actually signed why isn't the team named?

He agreed to terms with the Bengals and is most likely enjoying the last laugh today.

I hadn't thought about all the ex Cowboys we'll be playing.

TO, Adam, Terry and Bryant off the top of my head. :laugh2:

Roy L Williams, too.

He may get it.... if he reaches incentives, as you noted.

Let's no kid ourselves. I highly doubt Owens/Rosenhaus wanted an incentive laden contract.

We both know they were after the guaranteed money and didn't get it.

Its a tribute to how he's fallen off.

Hopefully, he can live up to it. I have no problems with him. Wish him the best of luck next year. And I'm glad he gets a chance to end his career with an actual QB and not the crap he ended up with last year.

Calling my shot right now. They will miss the playoffs in 2010.

That would not be a surprise. They usually make it once every 5 years and struggled the second half of last year.

But think about this.... Chad Johnson (Im still calling him that), Antonio Bryant, T.O. and Matt Jones as WR's. They would need their own baggage claim carousel at the airport. Too bad HBO is not doing Hard Knocks this year with them.

Yeah, I think that too. But I think it has nothing to do with T.O.


In their division, I think the Ravens are better. I think the Steelers are a better team with Big Ben. I think the Chargers are better; the Jets, the Patriots, and the Colts.

I think teams like Houston and Ten could give them a shot, too.

In short, I don't think they make the playoffs either, but its because they aren't that good; not because they signed T.O.

I wonder if Quan Cosby got cut. I have a story to tell you about the old company I worked for, which was once owned by Cedrix Bensons.

But I'll have to get around to that later.

So Owens is taking his Jerry Rice stat padding victory lap...except without a super bowl ring.

TO may play till he's 40 but this is his last opportunity to start.

He'll be a Raider in 2011.

That's obviously the QB's fault

He looked VERY slow in that clip, but it could have been instant replay speed.

they have the potential to be really good, or terrible. cedric benson may be comfortable again but if he plays like he did last year, and the d continues to get better, then they will make the playoffs.

I'll second that. I see them as a .500 team.
