What are the odds Jerry would even give him a tryout..? Don't get me wrong, I don't think there's any way in hell, Jerry would actually sign him, but do you think he'd give him a tryout..?

I may not have a popular opinion, but I liked T.O. as a player when he was here. I can admit he was terrible for morale, & "the locker room", but he did produce. I'd even go so far as to say, he had a LOT to do with Romo breaking out. There haven't been too many WR's have a season like he did.

3 seasons (2008-10): 38 TD's, & 3587 yds

You bet. We look like we are developing some team chemistry. Guys are cheering for each other regardless of who makes the play. Our WR core, even if they are lacking some depth, all seem to be team players. Let's blow that up.

The question really is what's in it for the Cowboys at this point? A month ago I would have been intrigued by maybe giving him a chance, getting TO on the practice squad if nothing else to have an active veteran around a younger WR unit. TY Hilton has taken on that role though. Could TO actually be an asset to this team for maybe 10 plays a game? Get him a couple red zone looks, maybe a 3rd and short? I have absolutely no idea, but odds are not in his favor.

Signing TO was one of the best decisions this front office made. Circus and all. That being said....no. Let this team do them stop distracting them with divas like Odell and TO.
His age caught up to him several years ago. TO like Dez was never a great route runner and they won with great athletic skill. TO had average hands, especially at the end. Add losing a step, average hands, and now almost 50? Please hang up and tell TO to call elsewhere.

Didn't T.O. just punch out somebody at a CVS parking lot ? I mean, how bad did you need that last bottle of NyQuil?

They both turned 32. They are both incredible athletes.

Dez broke his leg and then tore his ACH.

once the speed/legs go, they are done.

which is why THilton is such a surprise signing. He still has speed.

For one or two plays, then he's depleted like an old man in a rocking chair.
