With the release of Terrell Owens for the Cowboys the potential suitors are being named about the rumor mill and both New York football teams are rumored to be suitors.  That’s becuase both teams currently lack a #1 receiver, the Jets released Laveranues Coles last week and Plaxico Burress’s status with the G-men is still up in the air.

While Owens numbers look good, the negative side of Owens is something this fan of Gang-green can live without at The Meadowlands.   The guy is a huge distraction and his “me first” attitude is not something that coach Ryan and his staff would be willing to deal with this season or any season for that matter.  The Jets still haven’t named a replacement at quarterback for Favre and Owens would eat alive any of the guys on the current roster and a rookie wouldn’t stand a chance having to deal with his antics.

I’m not knocking the guys talent and desire.  Owens has plenty of both and his work ethic is superb, but the ego and “me first” attitude make him a more of a risk than a reward on the roster for the 2009 season.  Let Tannenbaum and Coach Ryan figure this one out and keep our fingers and toes crossed that T.O. only comes to New York one Sunday a season as in years past.
