He shouldn't have signed the earlier deal if he wasn't ready to honor it. No one held a gun to his head then. That's the way contracts work, it sports and everywhere else. Sure, TO is worth more than he's being paid. But that's TOs and his agent's fault. Not the Eagles. (And I hate the iggles, but it's true!)

And it's IN THE CONTRACT that teams can cut players. That's why players negotiate for guaranteed money.

TO thinks he's so valuable to the iggles that they'll cave. I very much doubt that. The iggles, like the pats, have been solid at keeping the team above the individual player.
