Bang Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 So, Dick Stockton all day Sunday kept alluding to a trade that nearly happened that would have given us Terrell Owens for Rod Gardner. Now, I pay attention, and I had never seen a single word about that. I realize last week i was busy, but so busy to have missed THAT little nugget? What gives? ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Fever Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 For what it's worth Cerrato came out Monday and claimed that it was untrue and that it would have never worked with our current cap situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Fakeman Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I dont know man...Redskins officials have dismissed that rumor as exactly what it is....a 'rumor'. I would LOVE to have Owens..but lets be honest...we need better defensive pressure...not some fast guy who wont get enough passes because our blocking blows...and you know that will just lead to him b*tching like a little girl on the sideline. LaVar would probally slap him like the little cry baby he is....maybe we should go for him. I'd love to see that. J Rose... (l33t) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Yah,, that dope Stockton was talking about it like it was common knowledge, like it was as certain a fact as the sun rising. Like I said, I consider myself fairly knowledgeable, and wow,, I was totally surprised by that one. Then again, I recall Stockton and Johnston also were convinced that the Falcons had figured out the redskins audibles and hand signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaterskins Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 True, if P Ramsey had just 3 more seconds in the pocket he could hit any reciever anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Owens is a HUGE talent at WR. But I don't think his attitude is what we want in the locker room. Can you imagine the crap he'd be saying right now? He's a bad apple. You know what bad apples do. Nope, I'd rather have Gardner, as much as I'm sick of him dropping passes.

Troy Fakeman Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Bang, Hahahah...I remember that..."If he raises his hand...." Hahaha hilarious, good call. Now if I could only find out where Chris Collinsworth lives and resides....I could walk right up to him and punch him in his neck...the man talks so bad on the skins every broadcast...Remember when he was talking sh1t on Laveranues Coles???? COME ON!!! L. C. would run CIRCLES around his White-Ass-Bengal-Uniform-Wearing-Self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 plus he wouldn't of re-signed here in DC. It would of been a waste. He seems the awful job we're doing right now. Why extend a contract when we've got Champ to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Fever Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I felt the same way Bang. When they started talking about the "trade that fell through" I was stunned. Then I thought to myself "BS". Big trades don't happen that often in the NFL and I can't remember the last one that happened mid-season at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen-like Todd Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Rick "Doc" Walker is apparently buddy buddy with Terry Donahue, who runs the 9ers. Donahue said it was bs, and apparently Doc doesnt think Donahue would b.s. him. Apparently he talked to snyder for about five seconds several months ago (during the summer), and there weren't even any trade proposals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmythehair Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I'm glad it was just a rumor. The last thing we need is to bring a player with a bad attitude into an already problem laddlen locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morning Wood Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I wouldda vomited in my shoes if this had happened. Anyone remember Dieon? Effabuncha TO. Great reciever yeah, but I'll take Gardner, and use the millions we'd save to sign a D line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlobberKnockinFootball Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I'll take TO over Gardner anytime. Atleast TO has shown that he wants to win....and cares about it. Maybe he goes about it the wrong way sometimes...But he cares. Now, can we sit here and say we can say the same for Gardner? I would of rejected the trade btw. I would never give up any draft picks at this juncture for something that we don't desperately need. If it was a stud DT or DE? Different story.

Awesome Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 It weren't Dick Sotckton it was Marv's **** son Kenny Albert. He kept talking and talking and had nothing to say all day. I wanted to take that guy's giant, oversized head and cram right up Moose Johnston's a-hole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsofwashington Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 We need to focus on the core that we have. Ownes is a superstar but not in our galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 here is the dillema. Yes Owens would require a big pay day, but I have a feeling Gardner is gonna leave too. When Coles got all that money all you heard from Gardner was stuff like, "well it'd good to see someone get paid like that, so when it is my time I will get the same respect" which obviously means he thinks he is getting some huge chunk of change too. So if Gardner feels "disrespected" with #2 reciever money, he is going to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Good thing its BS cause it would have been stupid when we have plenty of other needs. I remember gardner saying that which is why I think the D Mac fans are hoping he continues to improve and we sign him to an extension before he blows up and of course that jacobs or russell have a break out season next year.

Joe Sick Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Here was my plan on the whole TO-RG trade thing. We make the trade. TO comes here and either sparks a playoff push or totally screws the pooch. Either way, we DON'T resign him. We use the Gardner / Owens money to sign John Abraham or another good DE. Move up Jacobs and McCants next year. That way we get: some new blood for the playoff push this year. Gardner's bad hands and contract off our books. Money to sign a DE. Wouldn't that work, since TO is in his last year and Gardner is second to last? Shouldn't be too much signing bonus stuff left over. I say we should've gone for it.

Hog Fever Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Gotta disagree. I don't think renting Owens for a year would have been a good idea, playoff push or not. If the deal was as reported it would have cost us Gardner AND a 1st rounder. Can you imagine the uproar around here when draft time came around next year and Owens had signed elsewhere (since we aren't going to pay him what he's looking to get )and we have no 1st round pick. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
