T.O. keeps dropping wide open passes and they have to cut him at the end of the year, spread that money over two years. Or they keep him in a reduced role and his head explodes he causes a huge distraction and they miss the playoff's. Why not let him finish his existing contract and let him gauge the market another year from now, when he's another year older. No one is going to pay that for a 35 year old receiver. They can keep him at a much lower price. I have a feeling T.O. and Philly are laughing... he got away with what?!?! Cap Casualty!

As a previous poster said, "Dallas fans like to sugarcoat T.O.'s behavior" which includes one suicide threat and numerous on field-arguements with Romo, oh and the ridiculous controversy over Jessica Simpson. One word, distraction. Lest we forget a billion drops. How many times have you seen Moss drop an easily catchable ball. And despite yours attempts to stir up debate over Moss's activity, he stayed with New England despite a better off from Philadelphia. I think he realized what a great QB can do for his statistics. All bickering aside, I'll admit Moss hasn't always been the biggest hustler on the field, but if you look at those times, it usually had to do with being surrounded by garbage. The greatest corp in league history couldn't have saved Oakland. Vox - Do I really have to mention the kind of distraction that T.O. has placed on that team.

Good, whatever it was that put Parcells over the edge is a-ok in my book. Wade basically took his'n and won 4 more games with them.

When was the last time this guy played 16 games, yes he shows up when needed but he has been having injury problems. your number 2 is terry glenn who is no where close to his former form. Patrick Crayton basically lost the divisional game for them. Its not the worst concept to sign everytime he might become a problem but hes not getting any younger and hes the best receiver you got. Maybe you should try investing in other people. Great for TO bad news for dallas fans.

His first year there, he was less than a model citizen. He was a thorn in Parcell's and Bledsoe's side for most of the season. Part of the reason Parcells retired was rumored to be because he didn't want TO on the team and Jones wouldn't let him cut him. TO was a model citizen last year, but things went well for most of the year and Romo was getting him the ball. We will see if he has truly turned over a new leaf if he isn't getting the ball for a long stretch and things aren't going well for the Cowboys during this upcoming season.

They hit the age wall going 150 MPH. Guys like Carter, Brown, and Smith went from solid to elite starers to average at best in an offseason's time. Carter went from 1274 yards and 9 TDs in 2000 to 871 yards and 6 TDs in 2001. Tim Brown had a "gradual" decline with 1165 yards and 9 TDs in 2001 to 930 yards and 2 TDs in 2002 to 567 yards and 2 TDs in 2003. The Dox,

He is a very sensitive person just like other celebrities in this world. (Shaq, Gary Sheffield, Chad Johnson and many others). Unfortunately, he let his emotions get the best of him and handle the situations with his former teams unprofessionally. However, he learned from his past transgressions and is handling the current situation very well. He has learned from his past situations that the way he handled his former situation was a PR nightmare especially when they don’t like him u because a person like him doesn’t kiss their ass. So finally, people on this blog please give him the benefit of a doubt because he earned it because the way he handle himself during his tenure in Dallas.

When TO hits the age wall in 1-2 years, they can be in the same position the Colts are in now with an overpriced declining former superstar getting paid top dollar for what he did in the past. For every Jerry Rice who was productive until his forties, there are a dozen Tim Browns and Cris Carters (not to mention Isaac Bruce, Rod Smith, Eric Moulds, Joe Horn, etc.) who production drops like a stone around 35 or 36. Cowboys fans better hope to God that TO can fit into the Rice camp, but so far Rice is the only one who has. A WR at age 34 and will 35 is a little old to give a three year extension with $12 million guaranteed. WRs hit the age wall hard and fast in most cases. Great news for Cowboys fans!

Usually, when stating a player doesn't have much left, said player should've at least STARTED their decline. “wingnut says:
