Going T.O. the Superbowl?

I have to agree, and I've said it for weeks now that they had this planned all along. And releasing Keyshawn is the first step. None of us will ever forget the whole "star" incident but George Teague did make him think twice. The Cowboys have done absolutely nothing in free agency. We had big hopes with all of this cap money and haven't done a damn thing. Not to mention that we are missing out on the kicker sweepstakes. Adam V. will stay in New England and Mike V. will go to the fins so our best bet at the moment is signing O. Mare when the fins release him. I don't get it. And the fact that we lost our defensive and offensive locker room leaders, and are even considering bringing in the wonderful locker room presence of a T.O. just baffles the hell out of me.

You've got the big magnificent Tuna for one or two more years before he hangs it up. The only thing that I can think of is that this is his way of making a run NOW. And they think that T.O. is the quickest way to get them close. Look, he has to behave for the next couple of years or he'll miss out on that big contract that's coming next so I don't see it as a huge risk. It's just getting past the fact that we all hated him as much as we hated Karl Malone. In the shape they are in now, they need him. If they miss out on T.O. they are in pitiful shape at wide receiver. AND WHY ARE WE NOT TRYING TO SIGN A BACKUP QUARTERBACK? T.O. won't help if Bledsoe goes down and we have no one to get him the ball.

Now, the boys are in a position where they are now going to HAVE to over pay for T.O. They need him now. If they miss this, everyone pray that they can persuade the Packers in taking a #3 draft pick for Javon Walker. I know Moulds is supposedly in the loop but he's done. And does anyone think that Moulds is an upgrade from Keyshawn? If this is what happens, they should have just kept Keyshawn. Which I think they should have done anyway.

We always complain about the turnover rate in the NFL. And the year that the Cowboys don't make any moves we rip them for not doing anything. That's just being a fan. I absolutely hate that they have been so quiet but maybe it's for the best. I would have almost rather gone into next season with the same squad then to try it with what is going to transpire now. As true fans, we will welcome T.O. with open arms and as soon as he scores that first touchdown in Texas Stadium and goes out to the star again (which will happen if he becomes a Cowboy). We will all be on board. There is no denying his talent and if anyone can tame him just a little bit it would be the glorified gym teacher Tuna. If your going to make a push this year, you need him. But you need a lot more at other positions also.

Anyone who is trying to figure out the mentality of Jerry Jones, good luck. I don't think he even knows what he is doing. He's just enamored with T.O., the guy that will sell him tickets and bring more media attention.

Frustrating.

I kind of wish they would. Hopefully they just told him to go test the market and then come back and we will give him what his market value is. Hope is all we have seal, lots and lots of hope.
