b&bjetsfan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/19/t-o-announces-that-hes-heading-to-the-ifl/ T.O. announces that he’s heading to the IFL Posted by Mike Florio on January 19, 2012, 7:20 AM EST Getty Images After Vernon Davis took a page out of the T.O. history book on Saturday against the Saints, we looked into the status of Owens’ IFL deliberations, and we reported that a decision is coming with the next week or so. It has arrived. Owens have announced, via a video apparently shot in his house (not to be confused with a press conference in his driveway), that he’s joining the Allen Wranglers of the IFL. “Uh oh! It’s official! It just went down! I’m headed back to Texas! That’s right. IFL, here I come. Allen, Texas, here I come,” Owens said in a video linked from a Twitter message that says, “The WAIT IS OVER!! GETCHA POPCORN READY!!” Owens reportedly will receive compensation in the range of $250,00 to $500,000 from a team whose General Manager, former Cowboys receiver Drew Pearson, has criticized Owens in the past. The Wranglers begin their season in late February. Owens tore an ACL during the 2011 offseason, which made him even less attractive as an aging option with a reputation for creating trouble in the locker room. Owens is sixth on the all-time receiving list, second in receiving yardage with 15,934, and tied for second in touchdowns with Randy Moss at 153.

JohnnyB Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Jets will sign him to go along with Holmes. Add quality to the locker room. And make him a captain, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I don't know who I should be wishing good luck to: TO or the IFL why? TO hasn't done anything stupid in quite a few years (besides not pay child support) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Jets will sign him to go along with Holmes. Add quality to the locker room. And make him a captain, too. No, because the Jets are part of the NFL not the IFL. If this happens just PM me to change the thread title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sh*t the Jets are part of NFL. TO signing with IFL will in no way prevent him from signing with an NFL team. I am sure there is an out clause to this effect. TO, and his agent, are not stupid. Would it surprise me if the Jets came knocking? Absolutely not. Just add to their collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinlawyer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Playing in the spring and then gearing up for a season in the fall/winter....on an aging WR? nope. Pass on that. Jets need fresh legs not worn out IFL recycled legs. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Jets will sign him to go along with Holmes. Add quality to the locker room. And make him a captain, too. They aren't doing captains anymore. They might have to make him an honorary captain to get around that issue, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Jets will sign him to go along with Holmes. Add quality to the locker room. And make him a captain, too. No more captains - Rex said. Unfortunately, he didn't say no more beat-off's. Nothing would amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well at least we know Holmes will have a soft landing spot when the Jets eventually cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 why? TO hasn't done anything stupid in quite a few years (besides not pay child support) To his credit he has managed to get through the last few seasons without incident. But what he did do-as a veteran near 30 years old, not as a 22 year old right out of college-still gives teams pause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
