T.O. has said that if he doesn't find work for this season, that he will retire. I'm biased as I am a huge fan of T.O., but could he help ANY team out there? I feel there are numerous teams he would help. He has seemed to have matured, and I think not being able to find a job has humbled him. He's 39 years old, but still ran a 4.45 40 last year while working out with Seattle. I don't think there is any doubt he can still play, so with that being said what teams if any could you see him going? I think New England is in desperate need him and would start right away. Kansas City, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Cleveland, Baltimore, Seattle, New York Jets, Buffalo, Washington are just a few teams I thought of at the top of my head, but would love to see him in New England

I think being snubbed by the NFL has really matured him and he is a much different player now. I wouldn't mind seeing him on my 'skins because RGIII has about half a target in total. If they don't get receiver help I am sure Redskin nation will be crying over another knee injury. Plus he would be pretty cheap and the Redskins have been devastated by their cap restriction. BUT Shanahan is a no nonsense type of guy though so I could see him not wanting him no matter how much TO might have matured.

Honestly, I wouldn't take a flier on him. He has messed up too many opportunities in this league and plus he is 39 years old. There are plenty of younger guys out there who could help more than TO.
I just don't think coaches want to deal with his crap now. Regardless of him being more "mature" now.

I think it all comes down to winning games. Obviously character plays a role for teams, such as what is happening with Aaron Hernandez. But T.O. never did anything like that. Yea sure he is a cocky guy that loves himself, but is that really that bad in the grand scheme of things? I think if a team gets injury plagued or realizes, hey our receivers aren't any good, he'll be getting a call. Winning solves everything

Oh Im not saying hes as bad as Hernandez. I am saying that he is a cancer in the lockerroom. It didnt work in San Fran, Dallas, Philly, Cincinnati or Seattle. Thats every stop he's had in the NFL. The minute things even start to look like theyre going south, then oh god, hang on because its gonna get nasty!

I wouldnt say it didnt work out in those places. Philly doesn't make the Super Bowl without him, he then dominated that game with a broken ankle. Was probably the best wr in football while in Dallas, great season in Cincy... The guy just wants to win, and when guys don't produce like him, he gets upset. Others in the league do the same, just keep it out of the media light. I think he gets a worse rap than he deserves

Ok, ill give you that. However, we can agree that he didnt leave those places on the best terms...

Did he really leave on bad terms with Cincy?

I would say that the fans weren't thrilled with him. I don't know the inner workings with the Bengals because they are very private.

Batman and Robin failed?! I'd at least give him a tryout if I was in the market for a WR. It doesn't hurt to just see him run some routes.
