Now that 2 has been cut by the 'Boys, where will he land?
The first part of the answer comes from another question. Does 2 want as much money as he can get or does he want to have the best chance to win the Super Bowl?
Almost certainly, the next stop for Owens will be his last, 14 seasons into his NFL career, this will be the last stop of the T.O caboose, and what a strange ride it has been.
If 2 wants the most money he can get, Oakland seems likely. Al Davis needs something to make his otherwise irrelevant team relevant again. However, its highly unlikely 2 will be around long enough for Oakland to become a contender. Then again, I don't know if anyone currently alive will be around long enough to wait out that turn around....
If 2 wants to win a Super Bowl, and makes this his top priority, I think the short list will include...
Giants
Saints
Dolphins
Titans
Ravens
Colts
The Giants are clearly good enough to win a Super Bowl. What was missing last January?
Plax. And Plax will likely not be back in 2009. Owens can go a long ways toward replacing him.
I would say the Giants are the morning line favorites.
The Saints are an interesting candidate, not nearly the media spotlight of Dallas or NY may allow 2 to thrive away from the constant media pressure. Drew Brees has the talent to help an aging Owens regain some glory.
Bill Parcells had great success working with Owens in Dallas, and Miami's obvious need for a difference-maker at WR make South Beach a possibility. On the other hand, Parcells quickly parted with Jason Taylor because of off the field distractions, and 2 surely brings some of those issues to the table.
Tennessee and Baltimore are similar in that they have talented defenses and offenses that could greatly benefit from 2's addition. Don't know how much Jeff Fisher would want to deal with Owens' baggage and don't know how much the Ravens would be willing to jeopardize Joe Flacco's confidence by bringing in a me-first WR like 2.
If Owens could check his ego at the door and allow Peyton and Reggie Wayne to lead the way, Indy would be an intriguing spot for 2 in his quest (if indeed it really is a priority) to win the Super Bowl.
TSV guesses 2 lands in New York with the Giants, continuing his city-by-city tour of the NFC East...
all stops ending in the same, frustrating ending.
TSV doesn't see 2 re-writing the script in New York

Good luck to the Cowgirls without TO and Roy Williams. They won't make the playoffs again.
ReplyDeleteEwing theory all over this one.
ReplyDeleteI just heard a Dallas sports talk radio host say that the cuts of Williams and Owens are nothing more than re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
ReplyDeleteHe speaks of the team as vastly overrated, no offensive line, weak up the middle on defense and without playmakers in the secondary.
I'm guessing the 'Boys go 7-9 in 2009
