Terrell Owens signs with Cincinnati Bengals

[KJ Styles]

This is an EXCELLENT move, one that should have been made way back when Ochocinco was lobbying to bring T.O. to Cincy in the first place. I've never liked Antonio Bryant, they should waive his ass after the season's over.

A lot of people think T.O. is washed up and I disagree with that. T.O.'s year in Buffalo is very similar to when Randy Moss was in Oakland. Neither guy put up big numbers because they had terrible QB's and terrible offensive lines. Moss got with Brady and set a record for TD catches when people thought he was done (he was expected to be a WR3 in fantasy football that year, but he ended up being the Top WR easily). While I don't see T.O. catching for 24 TD's, I could easily see him scoring 10-12 times.

With T.O. and Ochocinco on the same squad, Carson Palmer will be a Top 5 QB in the league and it'll be an awesome race between the Bengals and Ravens for the AFC North. Both of them look like Super Bowl caliber teams. Defensive backs will have their work cut out for them when they play the Bengals.

Those are my thoughts on it, what do you guys think?

Mod Note: Watch the profanity.

Wow, all these sports fans in ToonZone and nobody has any thoughts on this? That's crazy!

How much did he sign for? I think it's a good move if the Bengals didn't make any long term or expensive committments.

[KJ Styles]

He signed a one year deal for 2 million, but there's incentives laced into that. I believe that he'll do great with the Bengals and they'll end up giving him a contract extension.

As a Bengals fan I have to say this was a good move for the team. The signing of TO has already created a buzz around town for football season. Even though the Bengals won the division last year, the loss to the Jets in the playoffs left a bad tatse in the mouth of the city. The major goal of the offseason was to get weapons for Carson Palmer. They spent the whold offseason getting wide recievers through the draft and free agency and managed to draft the best tight end out of college in Jermaine Gresham. The Bengals on paper look like they not only can win the division again but compete for the Super Bowl. Of course that's a big if but as a fan I have very high expectations for this team. I'd at least like to see them make to it to the AFC title game if not the Super Bowl.

I totally agree, the Bengals look awesome this year with the addition of TO. Him and Ochocinco together will be a secondaries' nightmare. They won't be able to double team either guy because that'll leave one of them open. Gresham was an excellent draft choice for them as well. The passing game was the Bengals biggest weakness last year, and they've easily addressed that. I hope that they go deep into the playoffs this year if not the Super Bowl. I despise the Jets so I hope they avenge their loss against them should they play again this season.

Let's see. Cincinnati won the AFC North going away last year. Buffalo, w/Terrell Owens? Cellar dwellers in the East.

Any chance VH1, which has both Chad Ochocinco AND T.O. doing reality shows, tries to get exclusives during training camp?

Prediction: Bengals repeat in the North, just barely, but they're not yet ready to play for the Super Bowl. Division round and no further, again.

I just hope then Terrell Owens won't be featured in the cover of Madden NFL '11 so he won't caught the "Madden Curse" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madden_NFL#Madden_Curse
