T.O. released

I've got to admit, I didn't really believe it was going to happen.

I don't hate the move as a Cowboys' fan, but now getting a WR opposite Roy Williams is vital with one of Dallas' first two picks.

So where's T.O. go? Oakland? Washington? Chicago? Minnesota? Even Jacksonville? Lots of options. I think Oakland is very likely.

Sayonara Owens! Actually, I really like T.O. but I'm glad we won't have to see him 2 times a year anymore. We know Philly won't court him, the Giants have their own WR situation to deal with, and even though Snyder likes to spend cash, it's unlikely the Skins will throw more money at the WR situation with the youth we have.

Now, Minnesota would be an interesting place for him to land. With AD in the backfield, Berrian on one side (or in the slot maybe), Rice on the other and Owens doing his best Randy Moss impression, it could be pretty awesome. Drawback there is that there is no QB to chuck him the rock there and we know how Owens can be when the QB situation is shaky.

Other teams I think he'd be interesting on: Jacksonville, Houston, Oakland (of course), Baltimore, and wait for it....New England.

He wont go to Jacksonville. They aren't looking to spend a lot of money in free agency (no big names) and they are trying to bring back team chemistry. With TO, he would break any team chemistry and I doubt he would be willing to play for not a lot of money.

Minnesota or Washington is my guess.

On the second thought I just realized that Brad Childress spent one year with TO in Philly and they didn't see eye to eye so I think my guess would be Washington.

Oakland will be the only team. The only owners that would take a chance on him are Al Davis and Jerry Jones.

I think Washington has said that they have no interest in him. Something like they didn't have interest in him when he was last a free agent, so why would they be interested when he is older.

I actually think you can rule out San Fran, Philly (for obvious reasons), Minnesota (cause of Childress), Washington (how much money can they spend?) and Baltimore (Harbaugh was with Philly during that time as well).

I think Oakland is most likely, but I do believe other teams will take flyers. I think Denver could step up. The Jets could happen and I keep thinking New Orleans too. It'll be interesting to follow.

BTW, Roy Williams (the safety) was also released.

Again, I'm loving this fire sale that Dallas is having!

T.O. in NO would be pretty interesting...

Anyone who thinks Minnesota is a possible landing, think again.

TO And Brad Childress HATE each other from their time in Phili.
