Sources: Donovan McNabb encouraging Washington Redskins to consider signing Terrell Owens - ESPN
Is this for real? TO wants to play with McNabb on the Redskins? The Skins do need a receiver, because as good as Santana Moss is, he’s no number one. Steve Smith is the only guy in the league with that size that can be a legitimate number one, and I still think you need a big tall receiver to be successful, long-term in the NFL.
With that being said, I’m not ever sure how I feel about this. For one thing, TO is an incredibly talented receiver, and as I Giants fan, I want him OUT of the NFC East. He and McNabb have played together, fought, made up, etc. However, TO has been a cancer to every team he has played for.
It seems to me that the two key factors to winning a superbowl (aside from talent) are focus and team unity, and TO certainly detracts from both of those qualities. However, prior to this year, the skins were essentially useless in the NFC East, and with TO and McNabb, that’s some serious quality right there. I know I don’t want to have to face them twice a year.
