TO Wants To Play

The Eagles are apparently not going after the bonus money. The party line is that they just want to be rid of Owens, but I suspect it's more that they don't want to look like cheapskates with potential future free agents.

Notice the timing. Now that he doesn't have to face our secondary Owens wants to play again. If they let him back and he has another "meltdown" before our next game, we'll know what the score is.

Visionary observation!

good one JET. I agree with the others, if the Eagles let up now, they've basically said they're soft. You have to make an example out of him.

something they might think about doing is maintain the suspension for conduct detrimental to the team...for the 4 games allowed...and then consider reinstating him for the remainder of the season (since they will have to pay him anyway) if he hasnt gone crazy again between then and now (fat chance that will happen).

Of course that all depends what happens to the eagles in the next 4 games. If they are playing great football...and remain in the playoff race...they may or may not want to mess with a good thing. On the other hand if their chances of playoffs are already gone...then they may just be looking toward next year...and not want a player back whom they know wont be on the team next year.

Only way i can actually see it happening is if they are still in the hunt....but are really hurting in the passing game...and or if they want to salvage some of T.O's value...so that they can possibly trade him rather than cutting him outright.

Oh and can someone please tell me how to start a new thread...i havnt figured that out yet...

I'd sent him high across the middle on every play and see how long he makes it.

:coach: How about an apology to the thousands of fantasy ballers who were counting on him for a championship! (I'm not one of them fortunately.) They were pulling for TO, until he cratered their roster with his juvenile stunts.

Tips for TO:

Let your oily mouthpiece agent do your negotiating for you. Lose the attitude. Antonio Gates got a new contract without the theatrics. Yes, he was suspended, but he got what he wanted and his team values him.
You ain't going to get a long tern contract without a lot of outs for your next empoyer. Go for a one year contract. Then you can do as you please.
If I publically bashed my employer and bad-mouthed the most critical employee, I would expect to be terminated. What makes you so special?
Get a bucket of water, stick your fist in it and pull it out. The hole that's left is how much you will be missed.
Stop listening to your friend Michael Irvin. I don't know if he influenced your "negotiation" tactics with the Eagles, but he opened the door to that Brett Favre question and you just stumbled right in.

remember if to is suspended for 4 games,thats alittle over $800,000.00 in salary.he also has a clause in his contract that if he is suspended by the team for at least 1 game he has to return $1.275 million dollars in bonus.so today was "all about the money"

I heard the amount of the signing bonus he would have to return was 1.725 M. w/ the suspension pay loss and the bonus he will be required to repay he is out ~2.5 in the short term.
