Guffalo Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Mcnabb says we can go without TO Should be an interesting summer in Philly. Maybe Drew Rosenhaus might want to rethink his stance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 When Eagles owner Jeff Lurie came out and said T.O. wasn't getting another dime, then Owens had to realize he got bad advice from Rosehaus. Lurie rarely speaks to the media and tries to keep a low profile. His words destroyed any leverage Owens believed he had. Owens/Rosenhaus will now think up some face saving scheme to allow him to return with minimal damage, although I believe he's already lost a vast majority of his support among the fans.

Without Freddie there to take some of the heat, he's gonna have alot of fun dealing with the media this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Not to mention his teammates. 334540[/snapback] I never thought he had much in that area to begin with. He was tolerated for his talent. He did win over a number of fans with his improbable return from injury to play well in the Superbowl. Now he has flushed all that away. McNabb ripping him was the kiss of death for the locker room support. Owens is an ignorant jackass of epic proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluv Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 The saddest thing about the whole situation is that all the respect TO earned by defying his doctors, playing in the Super Bowl and playing great has all been thrown in the garbage thanks to a greedy agent who gave him bad advice; especially when he is the 3rd highest paid WR in the league! Boy I hate to see when McGahee becomes a free agent.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 To put it bluntly, T.O. is an idiot. We all knew this had the potential to end badly in Philly. I just didn't think it would happen so soon after the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl. T.O.'s gotta know that Donovan is the Man, not him. Good wideouts are much easier to find than superstar QB's. Look at what happened to Freddie Mitchell. And T.O.'s not a malingerer. He just doesn't know when to leave well enough alone, and he comes off like a classless jerk. Oh, and that goes for Rosenhaus, too. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenhaus and his perceived leverage with NFL owners has been weakened considerably by these recent turn of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be suprised if many of his clients slip in drafts because GM's will try to find equitable talent with less possibility of a holdout that hurts the team.
