NFLPA wants Eagles to cut Owens

NEW YORK -- The NFL Players Association wants the Philadelphia Eagles to cut Terrell Owens if they're not going to reinstate him after his four-game suspension is over.

We're not asking them to play him, we can't force them to do that," Gene Upshaw, the NFLPA's executive director, said Wednesday. "But if they're not going to let him come back to practice and do all the other things associated with that, then we want them to cut him, let him become a free agent now."
The union already has appealed the four-game suspension levied on the wide receiver by the Eagles for what coach Andy Reid called "a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time."

Upshaw doesn't want to call Reid's hand. If the Union appeal makes the Eagles let Owens on the practice field and back in the locker room, than Reid could be a raging dick, and just let him ride pine all season.

The arrogant, selfish, big mouthed jerk made his bed. Let him sleep in it.

Re: Holy Toledo, somebody maybe getting T.O. even faster!

If they let this SOB go play for another team, what type of message will this send throughout the league? I don't like how my coach treated me so I am going to get everybody P.O'd and jump ship to a contender. When they went 13-3 last year he loved it there in Philly, hard time now tougher division, let's jump ship and find a new, better team this year.

It will create anarchy and a complete lack of respect for coaches and discipline. I now hate Drew Rosenhaus, freaking lawyers and their dirty tricks always screw things up.

Try leasing a Car in NY now, goodluck.

I think they should let him go myself. If they aren't going to use him then they are just punishing him and it's not right for an employer to do that kind of thing no matter who the employee is. Cut him now and sever all ties...let another team that wants to put up with the headache (if there is anyone) pick him up and let him play. It would be funny to see him sit on the free agent market and no have anyone pick him up.

Re: Holy Toledo, somebody maybe getting T.O. even faster!

you also have to remember that he's still made his bed so to speak....I highly doubt anyone is going to pay him the money so he's going to have to play for peanuts. It's highly likely if he gets a contract it's going to be backloaded or strictly incentive based. So no matter what he does he's screwed himself at this point.

Re: Holy Toledo, somebody maybe getting T.O. even faster!

I agree. They should be forced to cut him if they don't plan on using him.

There are alot of other footbal players out there who have done worse things then what TO has done.

And TO has a right to use his freedom of speech.

I know that's something rosenjerk said and I have to agree as well...if they are going to single out and make an example of TO because of his big mouth and leave the murderers, rapists and wife beaters alone I think it's time they took a long hard look at themselves.

I agree 100%


TO to Buffalo. Has a good sound to it.

And I wouldn't complain at all if TO scored 20 TDs in a season and a half for Buffalo. And once he scored his first TD for Buffalo every Bills fan thats against TO wouldn't care what he said about Jeff Garcia and McNabb either.

Let's lead the campaign, TacklingMan!

Bring T.O. to Buffalo!

Re: Holy Toledo, somebody maybe getting T.O. even faster!

Eagles own the rights to T.O. If they choose to stick him on the bench that is their right as long as they are paying his salary. Eagles should be able to sue T.O. for damages as well recovering salary and bonus.

Re: Holy Toledo, somebody maybe getting T.O. even faster!

What damages?

He didn't pull a Ricky and retire because he liked to smoke weed.

Re: Holy Toledo, somebody maybe getting T.O. even faster!

The Eagles will not let TO go during the season, would you when ATL is drooling over him and they are the team to beat in the NFC? NOT.
