Eagles To Let T.O. Explore Trade

Eagles reportedly will let T.O. seek trade offers
FOXSports.com

The Philadelphia Eagles might decide to allow the agent for wide receiver Terrell Owens to orchestrate a trade to another team, according to a report in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The newspaper, citing an unnamed league source, said the team, which had been considering releasing Owens, might instead give agent Drew Rosenhaus permission to hunt for a possible T.O. swap.

Multiple teams are thought to have interest, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Jets.

Owens infuriated the Eagles during his second season with the team when his attempt to renegotiate his seven-year contract was rejected.

He was banished from the team in November by Andy Reid after well-documented run-ins with the veteran head coach, team management — and quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Any team willing to trade for T.O. must also be willing to take on the remainder of his Eagles contract or work out a new deal with him. Owens has five seasons left on his current contract, and is due to receive a $2.5 million roster bonus and a $5 million roster bonus on March 1.

He is due to earn $770,000 in base salary next season.

If Rosenhaus is not able to find another team for Owens, it is thought that the Eagles will release him before the March 1 deadline — when the league begins its new calendar year.

Owens received $8.5 million in bonus money after he joined the Eagles in 2004. His relationship with the team, however, turned sour in the off-season because he felt that his $3.25 million in salary was too low based on his caliber of play.

T.O. fired agent David Joseph in late March and hired Rosenhaus, a move that triggered months of controversy, and eventually helped lead to his suspension without pay for the final five games.

Despite playing in only seven games, Owens still led the Eagles with 763 receiving yards and six touchdown catches.
Let's see, who could use an expensive, egomaniacal, inflated wide receiver? Maybe the Browns? Cardinals? And whoever takes him can draft Marcus Vick, too. They'd be perfect for each other. :rolleyes:

Well, T.O. has been to and offended 2 teams, the 49ers and Eagles, so there are still 30 teams left.

My guess is either Atlanta, Green Bay or Dallas will take him.

Marcus Vick probably won't be drafted, but someone like Arizona or Oakland might take him in free agency cause let's face it, it's not like they have anything to lose right now.

Well, after what he pulled to get himself traded to Philly, I'm sure the Ravens aren't that fond of him, either.

True, but they don't have much of an offense, I'm sure if he went to Baltimore, all would be forgiven there.

I just can't believe we have a thread about this...
