^^ they are very sure that he wont be a 49er this coming season says the coach that they are looking to trade him they are even thinking of doing a trade with the raiders for their #2 pick I think it is.... This is what the niner coach says
"There's no doubt he will be traded. He's burned his bridges with the 49ers. Even the players know that. On "The Last Honest Sports Show" this week, wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, though saying that Owens had helped him with receiving tips, added that Owens' "I approach" was the opposite of the 49er tradition, with players such as Joe Montana, Steve Young and Dwight Clark. (And Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig and Jerry Rice.) "

(And Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig and Jerry Rice.) "
The failure of Terrell Owens' agent to void Owens' contract in time gives the 49ers some intriguing possibilities, including a possible trade with their cross-bay rivals, the Raiders. And it also pushes them further down a road they had already taken.
The 49ers are in a rebuilding mode. That was signaled by general manager Terry Donahue when he announced that they would no longer be going year-to- year by restructuring contracts to reduce salaries, a policy that has added to the long-term burden against the salary cap.
The new policy makes long-range sense, but it also depletes the team in the upcoming season. They released left tackle Derrick Deese and running back Garrison Hearst (at his request) this week. Guard Ron Stone and quarterback Jeff Garcia are likely next, and wide receiver Tai Streets and cornerback Ahmed Plummer will probably leave, too.
The Garcia negotiations have been about money, as the 49ers have sought to reduce the salary he would get under his current contract, but there's much more involved, as Garcia noted in some public comments this week.
Garcia is 34 and at the crossroads of his career. After three straight Pro Bowls, he had an injury-filled season last year, a disappointing season for both him and the 49ers. Now, he has to assess his future.
He's looking at a team that will have lost two offensive linemen and probably its two top receivers. It isn't a team that can help a quarterback, or even keep him healthy. By the time the 49ers get good again, Garcia's career could be over.
Without Garcia, the 49ers will be significantly weaker. Many 49ers fans like Tim Rattay, but he is really only the ideal backup, a guy who can come in and play reasonably well when a starter is injured.
Don't be misled because Rattay had two good games when Garcia was out last season. That can happen with backup quarterbacks because opposing coaches don't have any video on them and don't know how to defense them. By Rattay's third game, teams had begun to realize that the way to stop him was to blitz often, because he has little mobility. As a starter, he'd be exposed, especially with a weakened offensive line.
Ken Dorsey? I like what I've seen of him on the practice field, but it's impossible to know how he would respond in games -- or whether he's ready. Coach Dennis Erickson will certainly give him enough playing time in the exhibition season to get a better gauge on what he can do.
Meanwhile, Owens gives the 49ers another trading chip.
There's no doubt he will be traded. He's burned his bridges with the 49ers. Even the players know that. On "The Last Honest Sports Show" this week, wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, though saying that Owens had helped him with receiving tips, added that Owens' "I approach" was the opposite of the 49er tradition, with players such as Joe Montana, Steve Young and Dwight Clark. (And Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig and Jerry Rice.)
It's always difficult in the NFL to trade player for player, and in this case, the 49ers won't even try. They'll go for draft choices, possibly a No. 1, though it may be better to get a combination of picks, perhaps a second- and third-rounder. They'll have many holes to fill, so they need bodies.
The Raiders are a possibility. Owens' attitude wouldn't bother Raiders owner Al Davis; over the years, he's taken on a number of players considered problems by other teams. Because Owens' salary number next year will be "only" $5.3 million, he'd be cheaper than what the Raiders would have to pay their No.
1 pick, which is a consideration because of the Raiders' revenue problems. And, Davis definitely has a "The Future Is Now" attitude, which makes a proven veteran appealing.
Owens and Jerry Porter could be a formidable pair for the Raiders, with Rice in reserve as the third receiver, a possession-type receiver. Tim Brown? He has nothing left, but he'd hang on because he's Davis' pet.
There will be other bidders, because there are teams that need a wide receiver who, when the mood strikes him, can be something special. There are two wide receivers in the draft, Larry Fitzgerald and Mike Williams, who are highly regarded, but there are more than two teams needing help at the position.
It's an interesting twist. Owens was regarded as the successor to Rice, but his time with the team has been turbulent. It would be ironic if his biggest contribution to the team is the draft choices they can get with his departure.

Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports free agent QB Jeff Garcia (49ers) is scheduled to meet with the Cleveland Browns Thursday, March4.
I will be a very unhappy Browns fan if we end up signing this fomo.
