Where will TO play at the beginning of 2006 season? (Odds)

[Jay]

I know, I know, we have a ton of TO topics on the board, but this is coming from a different perspective. These are the gambling odds, from Sportsbook.com, for where he will end up. They list 20 teams, and then they list "Other". We are 7-1, which are the best odds out of the 20 teams, that he'll end up in Dallas. The "Other" option is 6-1, but that's taking into consideration 12 teams not listed. Take it for what it's worth. Just figured some people would be interested.

I figured out the teams not listed: Bills, Patriots, Browns, Colts, Texans, Titans, Bears, Vikings, Lions, Panthers, Saints, and Cardinals.

Atlanta Falcons 15-1
Baltimore Ravens 12-1
Cincinnati Bengals 30-1
Dallas Cowboys 7-1
Denver Broncos 8-1
Green Bay Packers 15-1
Jacksonville Jaguars 15-1
Kansas City Chiefs 15-1
Miami Dolphins 20-1
New York Giants 40-1
New York Jets 18-1
Oakland Raiders 12-1
Philadelphia Eagles 30-1
Pittsburgh Steelers 30-1
San Diego Chargers 20-1
San Francisco 49ers 40-1
Seattle Seahawks 15-1
St Louis Rams 25-1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 12-1
Washington Commanders 15-1
xx Field (Any Other Team) 6-1
zz Does Not Play in NFL in 2006 15-1


PS: Please don't tear me apart. I don't want TO on our team, don't shoot the messenger. :starspin

xx Field (Any Other Team) 6-1

So, any team not listed is 6-1 odds?

Im going to be pissed if I hear about this during the off season

Not directed at you Jay, just people who think theres even a remote chance he comes here, let alone us being the near odds on favorite

At the risk of sounding really stupid, the TO story is remarkable. Philadelphia is filled with stories today where fans and Eagles players are scratching their collective heads trying to puzzle out what went so wrong. Regardless of the controversy over money, it still is a puzzle as why things went so wrong.

Stories chalking it up to jealousy over McNabb's status or the baleful influence of Drew Rosenhaus, or some other thing are everywhere, but no one seems to really know. The ones you would expect to have a real idea, the Eagles players who got an 'inside the locker room' look at events seem as confused as everyone else.

Speculation centers on TO's attacking McNabb was the only way he felt he could get the organization's attention. That rings true to me. TO didn't realize or didn't care about the seriousness of the consequences that would follow.

To return to topic, TO seems like such a major risk to an organization. The Eagles are a good (and stable) organization, and I thinK they have been together as a team. You don't have the kind of success they've had without it. They were well positioned to handle some turbulence and I'm sure they felt they were up to any challenge that might come their way. They clearly were wrong

The Cowboys are in many ways a pretty young team trying to rebuild a winning tradition that was lost over a long string of bad years. The organization has had a changing of the guard as well with many new faces added recently. As a team and an organization, I believe the Cowboys are not ready for TO. Not enough of a winning tradition lately and not enough stability with too many young players trying to find their way.

I guess the oddsmakers believe that TO would like to play for the Cowboys and that Jerry Jones is hungry enough for another championship that he would take the risk. I can understand their reasoning. On the surface it makes some sense. Bledsoe and TO would make a pretty potent combo. But what a risk!

So, any team not listed is 6-1 odds?

No. I think that since 12 teams are not listed its a 6-1 chance that he ends up with one of those teams. Not 6-1 for each team.

I have someone on the inside who knows about these things...a friend of a friend....and he has actually given me a pic of TO in the team uniform.

Hold onto your hats...this is explosive. He's actually already posed for next year's media guide.

Don't believe me? I've got the pic to prove it.

TO's next team.

wow, i have to say that TO has a pretty hot bod

 

[Future]

how is it possible that the best odds are him coming to dallas? any idea as to the reasoning behind that.

i dont see him ending up anywhere but ATL or maybe WAS

you have the choice to read or not to read......

 

[SkinsandTerps]

I am going to copy a post I made on another board here on my take on this.

So I look around the league at teams where TO has burnt bridges and certainly would not be welcome.

So who is in the TO sweepstakes ?

Eliminated (based on need or burnt bridge):
San Fran
Detroit
Atlanta
Baltimore
Indianapolis
New Orleans
St. Louis
Arizona
Philly
Cincinnati
Green Bay
New England
San Diego

Unlikely :
Pittsburgh
Washington
Dallas
NYG
Jacksonville
Carolina
Seattle
Oakland

That leaves these teams which I feel some are still somewhat unlikely:
Houston
KC
Denver
NYJ*
Miami*
Buffalo
Minnesota
Chicago*
Tampa
Tennessee*
Cleveland*

* Teams which I think wouldnt take him either based on their HCs.

 

[cowboys#1]

i would love for t.o to play for my team. for only 1 year!! the guy makes plays mr jones knows that he and bp are not getting any younger. we need to win this year or next year thats why everybody knows that tuna and jj are going to get him. bp would put him in check like he did Key. dont you think t.o would like to play philly twice a year to show them off. T.O welcome to dallas!! dont bash me, i just want to get the best players possible. jj should only sign him to a 1 yr deal though.

Peter King last night on Inside the NFL with Costas said, when asked, that he absolutely believed that Dallas would be where TO landed. With Bil being here for maybe only a year or so he said that if you paired him for a year opposite Terry Glenn it would make sense. Jusst letting you know what Peter King's opinion was.

Mr. King has never coached a team, except maybe for MaryBeth's softball team in kindergarten.

He doesn't understand the disruptive force of nature that a TO can bring. BP does.

I honestly think BP doesn't know TO well enough to make a decision, but based upon currently available facts, wouldn't even take a sniff of him.

People look at Keyshawn and think BP is a spoiled football player psychologist. He knew Key, he doesn't know TO.

I appreciate you posting King's opinion though.

 

[alancdc]

I agree with you on that, and I hope that TO neer plays for Dallas. It would make me sick. I still get satisfaction of Teague drilling TO when he was disrespecting the Star. Having said that is Key a FA at the end of the year? I wasn't sure why he, King, was basically replacing Key with TO. Thanks!

 

[jksmith269]

First and foremost T.O. has to be released. Then if it's this year he has to clear waivers up to us for us to land him and then we are liable for his contract as it stands including his roster bonus of like 7 million next march, if it's in the offseason he would be a free agent and could go where he wanted and that could afford him, and considering the lack of a new CBA I find it unlikely he will get the type of contract he wants.

 

[Derinyar]

I really don't think he winds up here, or at least I hope that we don't. This is a team of good players who work hard, the last thing i want is to see them corrupted by someone like TO.

 

[Danny White]

IF the Colts don't end up in the Super Bowl this year, I could see them taking a shot at TO.

First, they'll be losing Reggie Wayne in Free Agency.

Second, Peyton Manning is so clearly the leader of that team, he stands the best chance of keeping TO in line.

I don't think they should just be dismissed outright.
