Attn Oakland Raiders Fans

The latest release of Terrell Owens by the Dallas Cowboys has me wondering where the Wide Receiver will suit up next? Which franchise will be willing to deal with the prima donna? I have to admit, right off the bat, the Oakland Raiders come to mind. Owner Al Davis has had a penchant over the last few years to grossly overpay some players who haven't meshed well with his team. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall and Wide Receiver Randy Moss immediately come to mind. Do you think that Big Al has learned from these prior free agency debacles? Or will he shove a boatload of money towards T.O. in hopes that he comes to the Bay and provides the Raiders with the deep threat they've been seeking since Moss quit on them a couple years ago? Based on the state of the Raiders right now, my intuition goes with the latter. T.O. and the Raiders are almost a perfect match because no offense Raider fans, but it seems like Oakland might be the only franchise willing to deal with all the drama that comes with #81, and JaMarcus Russell desperately needs some weapons to throw too. Furthermore, Al Davis has reiterated over the years that part of his offensive philosophy involves throwing the ball downfield. T.O. is still one of the best players in the game and I guarantee you Russell would love to sling the rock to a streaking Owens game in and game out. The Raiders simply do not have a legitimate threat lining up outside and by adding Owens, other team's defenses can't key on the Raiders ground game like they did in 2008. By adding Owens, you instantly take pressure off of Running Backs Darren McFadden, Michael Bush and Justin Fargas. Owens has proven to be one of a kind throughout his career and if Al Davis can somehow magically make T.O. play for the betterment of his team, then signing #81 could prove to be a great move. So happy hunting Al but keep in mind, if Jerry Jones couldn't do it, I doubt you could.
