Rosenhaus trying to get TO a new deal already...

[lordofgun]

I think Terrell Owens is up to his old tricks. Last year, he signed a seven-year, $48 million deal with the Eagles. "That ain't no chump change,'' he told Playboy last season. The contract included an $8.5 million bonus ($2.3 million to sign, $6.2 million in a roster bonus paid last year), with $660,000 in salary. That's $9.16 million last year. He is due $3.25 million in this year; most often with long-term deals, the first two or three years are low on the salary side because the bonus has been healthy. So now Owens hires Drew Rosenhaus, who tells him he's worth more in this market and now they're sniffing around for a new deal.

That was from Peter King's MMQB, btw.

If mcgahee performs at the level that TO did at receiver, he can have whatever he wants!

I have no problem paying a game changer like T.O. or hopefuly mcgahee. When a guy can singlehandedly carry a team, he deserves whatever he can get!

how many years are left on McGahees's contract?

Well if McGahee rushes for 1500-2000 yds and 15+ TD's next season, I don't think it will matter how many years are left on his contract. Rosenhaus will probably demand a huge extension.

Well in the next 3-5 years we will lose either Losman, McGahee or Evans.

I disagree. TD will prove to people that if the player is worth the big bucks...he will pay. Look at Spikes. Look at Adams. Look at Milloy. Look at Schobel. Look at Fletcher. Look at Moulds. Look at Moorman.

[Devin]

Well i didnt mean so much that TD was unwilling, just simply all 3 I think will be huge names and we eventually simply wont be able to afford them.

I think the main question here is: do these players have to ask for a new humungous contract everytime they have a killer season? I mean, like TO said, he wasn't exactly making chump change in the first place. All those people can say he has heart due to the Superbowl, but if he finds a way to leave the Eagles just for more money, in my opinion, no amount of heart in the world still won't stop him from being a greedy jerk.

I thought that when McGahee signed, they said something along the lines of "if he performed like a top-5 pick, he'd be paid like one".

To me, a statement like that would indicate that he'd have performance escalators in his contract that are larger than normal and Rosenhaus probably would not want to renegotiate because the escalators may set McGahee up.

Also, for Rosenhaus to ask to renegotiate McGahee's contract would indicate that he signed a bad deal in the first place, and I doubt he wants to admit that.
