I'm actually on TO's side...trade him and give him a chance to play for an NFL football team.

Is there a big time QB lurking behind Cutler?

I'd love to trade Owens and get picks for him, but 1) I don't think he has much trade value, and 2) most of this seems to just be speculation based on where Owens fits.

[SABURZFAN]

i'd love to see the Bills trade Owens. he's not being properly utilized here so why not get a draft pick or two for him?

[SABURZFAN]

it'd be ANOTHER way for The Old Fart to save money too.

Oh yeah. I've wanted that guy for a long time.

[yordad]

It would not hurt at all. But, I doubt it will happen. I mean, the Bills are going no where this year, and TO is going anywhere but here next year. So, lets grab a 6th and run, if they can.

[MassEffect218435]

Good, T.O. is a freaking joke and is a has been.

[Oaf]

Is this just speculation or are sources saying Bills want to trade TO or vice versa?

[Throne Logic]

Not enough TO news these days. So, they are manufacturing some.

Just wait, by tonight it will be "TO demands to be traded!"

[patmoran2006]

Is this just speculation or are sources saying Bills want to trade TO or vice versa? Its speculation

[Ebenezer]

they can trade Owens, Parrish, Lynch I wouldn't even bat an eyelash...hell, trade Evans, too. I am sure this is not what he signed on for.

[Forward_Lateral]

They don't use TO, so what's the point of having him?

[Ickybaluky]

Seems to be speculation on what they should do, not what they are doing.

From PFT (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/10/12/to-not-on-the-block/):


With the Bills falling apart and receiver Terrell Owens generating barely 200 total receiving yards in five games, some have suggested that T.O. should be dangled for the benefit of a playoff contender, which could then yield for the Bills a draft pick or two for their trouble.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that it's not happening.

Still, Schefter believes that the Bills should ponder the possibility. "[A] team such as Chicago, which could use a play-making wide receiver to help unseat the first-place Minnesota Vikings, might find it worthwhile to part with a mid-round pick for an offensive playmaker that can help make a difference this season," Schefter writes.

[Thurmal]

I can't believe anyone would want him traded. Honestly, you all complain how this team doesn't try to win, yet you want them to trade our biggest offseason pickup five games into the season for a draft pick that we will probably blow anyway.

[DBrown77]

This was Schefters suggestion of what the Bills SHOULD do, NOT a Schefter Rumor. TO isnt going anywhere. Do you think the Bears who are playing solid will want a guy that could tear the locker room apart? doubt it

[justasportsfan]

I can't believe anyone would want him traded. Honestly, you all complain how this team doesn't try to win, yet you want them to trade our biggest offseason pickup five games into the season for a draft pick that we will probably blow anyway.
we could grab a wr that can get open in the 5 yd range.

[TacklingDummy]

If the Bills were winning nobody would want to trade him. The problem is, TO signed a 1 year deal and the Bills suck.

I've always been a TO fan and this is kind of sad watching him waste one of the years he has left in this career.

[bigbub2352]

i would trade him in a 2nd he has no business on this team, nothing against him or what he has achieved, but you dont want TO anywhere near a team going into severe rebuilding like we are
Give him a chance with a real QB and Offense to end his storied career
cause here he was a gimmic to sell tickets!!! that is all

Were trading TO to Chicago for a slow, blocking TE for Trent to target. He misses Schouman in a big way.

[BertSquirtgum]

yeah why the **** not? the old peice of **** already got our money for game tickets. **** the fan, i for one don't think we should trade him. what will we get? a fourth round pick? no thanks might as well keep him.

[ServoBillieves]

Schefter is a freaking idiot, on ESPN he said this is pure speculation. "Is it a good move, yes, will it happen, I highly doubt it."

[billsburgh]

I think you just woke him from his afternoon nap.

[Demon]

Schefter will be on Sports Center within like 5-10 minutes to speak about any possible Owens trade.....

[ChristopherWalken]

I say instead of trading him, throw him in the slot, have him risk life and limb on the inside (Edwards best side) and use him for all he and his contract is worth.

[mikemac2001]

to be honest if we get a 4th or higher then ya good move, if not we could always franchise him so he would be stuck here

[djjimkelly]

Or how about we keep them and get a QB instead. :idunno:


bring in green fassel and our boy
:couch:

[trapezeus]

i don't trade TO to chicago unless they are willing to take Jauron back as part of the deal. in fact, i don't even want players or picks. just take TO and Jauron and give me peace of mind that we have folded shop instead of played out this string of games.

Are there any lawyers amongst us? Can we sue for larceny or grand theft. I seem to be missing $2500 for my season ticket.

[SquishDaFish]

Good, T.O. is a freaking joke and is a has been.

I dont see how he is a joke for us??!!?? He has been very quiet for us and a good soldier for us. You are doing what the media has always done to him. Its pathetic and a joke. He just wants to WIN like us

[cocamide]

I think you just woke him from his afternoon nap.

No, Ralph is at the pancake house getting support from his two imaginary friends.

[Mr. Pink]

The dude obviously didn't have suitors lined up for him in FA.

He didn't tell his agent, "ya know, I wanna go play in Buffalo, they're good."

Now, on top of that, he hasn't performed this year.

Who is gonna trade anything for a 37 year old WR who hasn't shown a lick this year and has always been a locker room distraction?

[Mike]

In total agreement with the idea of trading TO
Here is the obvious logic behind the move:
1. we suck
2.we need the pics to rebuild,
3. TO is not comming back
Conlusion, get something for him for the future

What bothers me most is that this INEPT organization does not see these obvious moves that the average football fan sees. How can this be??? Well, I gues this is part of the reason why we suck so bad....

Id trade him for a player... we havent done much with our picks. Unless you mean to have even more picks for moving around on draft day.

I want us to get the best prospects we can at the spots we need... even if it means moving around.

[HHURRICANE]

Sign TO long term and trade Evans.

At least owens is entertaining.

[jimbohastle51]

they wont trade him because they wont sell another home game out without him. and yeah we can all say yes they will, but EVERYONE has had it with jauron and this team isnt going anywhere except a top 10 pick in the draft.

[TigerJ]

It's a trade that makes sense. There's really nothing, personnel wise, that can save this train wreck season the Bills are having, and keeping TO around won't do it. A fifth round pick will help the new coach next season. If TO were to be traded, it would be a clear signal that the owner and also Russ Brandon are already moving toward planning the post Jauron era, and yanking any authority Jauron has regaarding personnel. For Jauron's part, if he had any hope of holding on to his job and retained any personnel authority, there's no way he would OK the trade.

[OpIv37]

what's the point in keeping him? We're not making the playoffs and he's gone after this year anyway.

I've been saying it since the day they signed him: TO is useless to us unless we have a) a QB that can get him the ball and b) an OL that can protect that QB. Right now, we have neither. Signing TO was just another one of Russ Brandon's marketing gimmicks to sell tickets and jerseys, and it ****ing worked.

never saw the point of signing TO and getting rid of the entire o-line. what does that say to the QB?

"we'll get worse at pass protection and we may not be able to open running lanes for our backs, but check out these weapons!"

it's like getting your kid a new sports car, only it doesn't have an engine or wheels.

[Night Train]

we could grab a wr that can get open in the 5 yd range.

With Edwards in there, that's called The Bomb.

How about to the Browns for Brady Quinn?
