Redskins To Make A Run At Free Agent WR Terrell Owens?

Free Agent wide receiver Terrell Owens is in need of a new home and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan strongly considered signing Owens in 2006, before the outspoken, headline-grabbing receiver joined the Dallas Cowboys. Asked this week about Owens, an unrestricted free agent, Shanahan said: "We don't talk about who's on our radar screen for obvious reasons, but we do have a plan. And sometimes we'll wait to see what the market value is relative to the price, how many guys might be out there. But we're going to constantly try to upgrade our football team, and sometimes it has to do with salary as much as has to do with just getting depth. And maybe after our minicamps, maybe after the draft, some guy will be out there, and we'll gobble him because we think he has a chance to improve our football team." Some reports indicate that Owens wants to match his $6.5 Million salary from last season, though his agent has said the receiver will be more flexible.

the potential for jokes if this happens is unlimited.

 

Well, T.O. is half way to being the NFC East snitch seeing he's a former Eagle and Cowboy.

 

I hope it happens. The Skins have been pretty boring.

 

Ownes making his way around the nfc east... what next? The giants?

 

this

 

imagine that progressively thinking fanbase when a very opinionated, big mouthed diva minority athlete starts to rip that team apart.

:icon_cool:

 

IF T.O. signs with the Redskins, when does he throw Shanahan, Synder, and company under the bus? :icon_cool:

 

6.5 mil again? Idk if hes gonna be worth that especially with Rex and Campbell attempting to throw to him when he'll most likely be covered by the best backs in the league.

 

Shanahan wants to gobble him?

 

Owens in a Skins uniform would be phenomenal!

 

The only thing funnier then this would be kolb starting for the Eagles. Owens will have a impact no matter where he goes. He can still motor, look what he did for the Bills last season, one of the worst teams in the league.

 

Uhhhh what exactly did he do for the Bills last season?

 

Refresh my memory?

Less than 60 catches for 800 something....

I guess you have a point...it is an upgrade over Antwan Randle El...frankly, I'd rather have Randle El...lol...

Actually...we do...

 

883 yards from scrimmage and 6 TD's.

Antoine had 530 yards 0 TDs and is a waste of a roster spot. Has a great attitude but he isnt a good WR. #4 at best.

TO & Moss would be a great improvement. Now they just need a QB who can throw the ball.

 

Why would Kolb starting for the Eagles be funny? He showed some real flashes in his only two starts last year.

 

Exactly. Not numbers to write home about...lol...

 

for the eagles fans out there.... im asking this because I am not an eagles fan, and I don't know what your QB plans are, but if Reid is open to offers for all his QB's right now, what do you guys plan on doing for a starter if you lose Donovan and Kolb.

 

:icon_rolleyes:

 

Kolb is pretty much untouchable. No way they move both him and McNabb.
