Anybody want to trade for a malcontent?

That is interesting. I thought Mooch was the one in danger out there, not Owens. Without any question at all I would be willing to trade a first and third for Owens. I think that most of us would. However, let's look at an alternative and see where we like things better.<br /><br />If we could pick between Owens or Glenn/Crowell and keeping our No. 1 and No. 3, what would you do? I think you'd go with the lesser receiver and solidify other spots in the draft. Glenn is a problem child, like Owens, and Crowell, like our buddy Westbrook, has battled injuries, but I think in either case we'd be better off than trading the picks for Owens.<br /><br />At the very least we have to make a run at a couple of free agents and fail in that area before considering this. But, it is something well worth considering.

I agree with ChosenOne, I'd trade for Owens in a heartbeat. Does the guy have an attitude problem? Yes. But can he also completely dominate a game? Yes again.<br /><br />He's easily one the best 3 recievers playing right now, and unlike Moss, he will bring his A game every sunday.<br /><br />Besides, he hates the Cowboys. That should be reason enough. <img border="0" title="" alt="[big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

Gamebreaker said exactly what I was going to say. Exactly. This guy has a big mouth, but he backs it up every game. His main complaint with Mooch was his lack of killer instinct. I don't think that will be a problem with our new coach. <img border="0" title="" alt="[big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /><br /> <br /> [ January 22, 2002: Message edited by: Randy Redskin ]

I wonder if you folks have considered the cap implications of that move. If CC takes him in the X-draft, then trades him here, then he's still under his existing contract. (We don't have to negotiate his pay, just pay whatever's on the paper). (Unless he wants to try to holdout against a contract he already agreed to). <br /><br />And, in that scenario, his dead money stays in Houston. We get him for just his salary, not the bonus. <br /><br />Does that alter your calculations? <br /><br />(I really like watching CC work: Has any other expansion team tried shopping x-draft players for draft picks?)

All we would be responsible for is $3.6 million for Owens this year and we can hit that number. He would be our big fish though in the offseason unless we negoiated him down some and gave him more of a bonus. <br /><br />I think we would be more wise to put our money into a QB of some sort, but, Owens would be a very intriguing prospect to consider and he could be had without a crushing hit.

First it was Mariucci. Now it's Owens. I don't put much stock into these kinds of reports. We'll know soon enough what direction the 49ers will go. I'm not gonna ponder the possibilities until a player/coach is actually 'available' <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />And with Snyder/Rodgers acting as the defacto GM, I don't think the Skins are on Casserly's speed dial <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" />

OH HELL YEAH! <br /><br />No doubt. I was worried about cap but that was explained above so this is a no brainer. The guy is a stud receiver which is what we have been talking about besides quarterback and DC.<br /><br />Somebody get me a towel, I'm drooling all over my keyboard!<br /><br />Alas, to good to be true though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" />

ADF -<br /><br />Stokes has been steadily improving though no one will mistake him for Terrell Owens. And it looks as if the 49ers are integrating Tai Street into the offense.<br /><br />There's no doubt the 49ers will be hardpressed to replace ALL of Owens' production... but the cap space relief may help the team 'overall'. If not for the pure benefit of a content lockerroom.

The funnest part of this Owens-trade scenario is the fact that the Cowboys would have to face him twice per year. However, I just don't see this happening. The problems between Owens and Marriuci have existed for two seasons, and it hasn't stopped their team from being successful.
