4. My thoughts: Oakland or Dallas
If Al Davis has the scratch, a Moss/Owens receiving tandem would be epic...and the Raiders are used to crazy players anyway.

Dallas, because Bill Parcells could handle TO, and Bledsoe would enjoy having that kind of reciever.

6. As a Cowboys fan I can only say...
I hope to GAWD that you're wrong. I know Parcell's could handle TO. But I sure hope he doesn't have to. The guy is a freakin' head case.

10. The receiving tandem would be epic..but the ego tandem would
destroy it in Oakland.

7. Dallas, Denver, Atlanta, Minnesota have all been mentioned.
As possible places he will go. Rest assured he will not sit long as a free agent. This whole thing has been ridiculous.

20. I thought about AZ, but they are stacked at the WR position....
...I'm not sure they need him there. They need a QB to get the ball to their receivers.

11. I've heard Denver, Miami and New Orleans are interested.
I doubt Tampa will be interested after what they've been through with Keshawn Johnson and Keenan McCardell.

12. My pick: Seattle.
That team is a true #1 WR away from the SB. Renting TO for a year or two will get them there and they'll still have money to give Shaun Alexander the fat contract he wants.

13. They need him as much as anybody.
They just need to be careful when the write him a contract because his act won't change.

26. I think Atlanta is out.
Both the head coach and the offensive coordinator were coaching in San Fran when TO pulled his act there. They may not want to go another round with TO.

Jim Mora quote was: "I'd rather give up my first child than sign him"

19. New England
a team with structure would probably think its capable of handling him.

I'd go with them.

21. No way in hell
Rule #1 for Belichick recruits: Be a team player. TO does not fit the bill.

23. Rule #2
Win. TO can help them do that. I'm not saying I think it will happen. But I wouldn't be shocked if it did. For one year, especially if he's cut this year. Why would the Pats not take a chance on him?

24. When considering
Possible destinations for TO, you have to keep one thing in mind which is that most teams simply will not sign a player that they view as a cancer. Organizations like the Packers won't sign a guy like this, teams like the Lions, Saints, Texans won't go for him because they are too far away from a SB to consider him. The types of teams that will consider him are teams who realize that he could completely ruin their chemistry, but are willing to take that gamble because they believe he can take them over the hump. Teams like Denver, Seattle, and Washington come to mind.

As for Oakland, I realize that they are usually the top destination for players like him but they have Porter and Moss at WR, the last thing they need is another WR.

28. The Jets
The Jets need a WR. They were intresting two years ago, when TO was traded. They also need a QB who can stay healthy but that's another story.
