Owens' Days as Bird Numbered?
PHILADELPHIA-June 30, 2005 — With all the contract squabbles continuing, are the Eagles about to give T.O. the heave-ho?
There are reports a trade is in the works with the Oakland Raiders. Owens would go to Oakland for wide receiver Jerry Porter.
T.O. may be trade bait because he wants the Eagles to give him more money.
If he goes to Oakland, the Raiders would have two of the best wide receivers in the NFL: Terrell Owens, and Randy Moss.
Yesterday, Moss told reporters he could co-exist with T.O. as long as he got the number of passes he deserves.
I'd hate to lose a player as talented as TO, but I'm sick of him whining. Plus, as a WVU alumni, I love Jerry Porter.
It would be an incredibly advantageous deal for the Eagles. The Raiders would have to take the full cap hit on Porter and the Eagles would be looking at $1M in salary for Porter for each of the next three years.
Please be true.
