EAGLES TOYING WITH TRADING OWENS?
It's been widely reported that the Philadelphia Eagles will not be reworking the long-term contract that receiver Terrell Owens signed a year ago, after being traded from the 49ers to Philly following a clustermess of a botched trade to Baltimore and the failure of Owens' former agent, David Joseph, to submit paperwork on a timely basis that would have made Owens an unrestricted free agent.
There are rumblings throughout the league that the Eagles likewise have no desire to tolerate a disgruntled Owens, who proved to be a major pain in the rear end for San Fran in 2003, his final season with the 49ers. (And he was hardly a choir boy before that.)
So the only logical move would be a trade.
And this report meshes with some preliminary noise we're hearing about the Eagles potentially being interested in moving into the top end of the draft, which if they were to move T.O. would suggest that they would be trying to get in position to acquire Braylon Edwards or Mike Williams.
Based on these very premature rumors, our guess is that the Eagles would make two trades. First, they'd send Owens to one team in exchange for a package of picks, including a first-rounder. Then, the Eagles would package their No. 31 pick in round one with the first-rounder that they snare via an Owens deal to make their move to the top of the board. (They also hold the No. 35 pick due to the A.J. Feeley trade, the No. 63 pick, the No. 77 pick from the John Wellbourn trade, and the No. 94 pick.)
It would be an extremely shrewd move for the Eagles, especially in a year when no one is looking to trade into the top five -- and multiple teams would love to get out.
Under this scenario, then, the core question is who gets Owens, and for how much?
The Vikings' fire sale of Randy Moss arguably sets the market at something other than two first-round picks. Our guess would be that, in light of the Moss deal, Owens could draw a one and a two, or a one and a three.
But who gives up the picks and then pays Owens?
San Diego needs a big-play receiver (they pick at 12 and 28), but they had a very bad experience two years ago with David Boston.
Cowboys coach Bill Parcells (who holds No. 11 and No. 20) surely would swap one of those picks for a player who can make an impact in Tuna's final season in Dallas, but it's hard to fathom the Eagles sending T.O. to a team they place twice a year.
Ditto for the Redskins, who never met a flawed superstar whom they didn't like. They hold the No. 9 pick, and Dan Snyder likely couldn't resist the opportunity to load up his offense with Owens.
Or how about the Panthers at No. 14, who need a complement to Steve Smith?
And it's hard not to at least consider the potential impact of T.O. in Minnesota, which has two first-round picks and the cap room to keep Terrell happy -- but which just ran a me-first receiver out of town and is in the process of cultivating a team-centric attitude in the locker room.
Of course, the Eagles could forego the double move and try to send Owens to Tampa for the No. 5 overall pick. There's a chance, however, that neither Edwards nor Williams will be on the board when the Eagles would be on the clock.
If anything's going to happen, then, look for a two-tiered trade that ultimately puts the Eagles at No. 4 or higher.
What about the cap hit, you ask? In 2004, Owens signed a seven-year, $42 million contract with a $10 million signing bonus (the real number might be a lot lower -- we're looking into it).
Since bonus money can be spread only three years beyond the last capped season under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (which is 2006), Owens' $10 million payment (assuming it was not two-tiered) results in a yearly charge of $1.67 million.
Trading him would trigger a cap charge of $8.33 million, which would be offset by his $3.25 million salary in 2005, for a net hit of $5.08 million. As a result, the Eagles could easily manage the consequences, since they had as of March 29 more than $8.5 million in cap room for 2005.
Sure, a lot of thing have to fall into place for Owens to end up in a new town with a new team. Heck, we haven't even considered the question of whether Owens would approve of the whole thing.
We have a feeling, however, that if the new team in that new town is willing to give T.O. a truck load of new money, he won't have a problem with it.

Owens is a very talented WR but I would hope to God that Parcells would not go after him. He was a cancer in SF and now he is a cancer in Philly. It will only be a matter of time before he is a cancer to his new team if he gets traded.
Oh and haha hahaahhahahaha AJM1613 thought Owens wouldnt be a cancer hahahahahaha. Looks like you were wrong and I was right. But that is nothin new.

PFT has been smoking too many doobies as always. How in the heck does TO go from being worth an OK DE with an injury history (Brandon Whiting) to a top 5 pick in one season, not to mention he's over 30, can be a huge distraction if disguntled, and coming off a fractured leg. If Corey Dillion was worth a 2nd and he has been a model citizen with a CHEAP contract, I think TO's worth about a 3rd or 4th rounder now, with the potential headaches and huge contract he comes with.

04-10-2005, 03:55 PM
Oh and haha hahaahhahahaha AJM1613 thought Owens wouldnt be a cancer hahahahahaha. Looks like you were wrong and I was right. But that is nothin new.
Because PFT said we are looking to trade him?
He wants more money because he got a new agent and he convinced him he is worth more money so he could get the commission on the new signing bonus.
This article is BS and bad journalism. It's nothing but pure speculation with some mention of "rumblings" that a trade would make sense.
And I never remember you being right in the year I've been around. Not once. Actually you're a little more than a bad joke. Sad huh?
And I see no proof that he's a cancer. So far he's helped the team more than he's hurt it and I really don't think asking for a new contract in April will cause our team to suffer come September. Cancers usually hurt the host...that's why they're considered bad.
And for the record I would love to trade him for a top fifteen and second round pick.

Not a bad deal for TO, if he can get it. 10 million bonus plus salary last year (1-2 million?). If he can do it again this year...Heck, thats 24 some odd million in 2 years...not bad scratch.

How do they think Owens could get the Eagles a first and second round pick? He was traded to the Eagles last year for a fifth round pick (to Baltimore) and Brandon Whiting (to SF).
He is obviously a good receiver, but if this is all it took for the Eagles to land him then it seems to me that other teams refused to give up more than that.
Even the orginal trade between Baltimore and San Francisco for Owens was only for a second round pick.
I just don't see any way teams would be willing to give up a first and second or third round pick for a head case like Owens.

Just another reason that the NFL should have stuck to their rules and not allowed the "questionable" trade in the first place.
The NFL is all concerned about their "marquee" players getting injured....hence the new RW rule.
Now, T.O. may be sitting out or whatever because he's not happy there. I thought he just couldn't wait to play with his boy McNabb? What happened there? I guess he sees that McNabb just gets the heaves when it gets down to crunch time.

TO may not be happy, but he'll be an Eagle next year, and the year after...unless he retires, or suffers an injury (heaven forbid).

Midwestern corn farmers could use some of the BS Florio shovels on his site. Pro Football Talk represents the worst that the Internet has to offer. Owens is likely going nowhere. In his scenario, the eagles would be willing to part with Owens and two high round draft picks for the one player they would be getting. Doesn't make sense.

Oh and just one question. How did it feel to lose that SB by just 3 points. Just think 3 points that had to hurt. So close but you still lost. Dayum that was a sweet. Still cant win it.

Does it hurt you to know that 2 eagles fans contribute more to this board than you, a Cowboys fan? They present logical arguments, but you enjoy bantering with nonsense about superbowl wins that are in no way relative to the subject at hand.
I mean, AJM and Pheonix Talon are nothing but courteous, logical, and intelligent in their football opinions, while you insist upon posting a generic empty trophy case that we have all seen.
Last I saw, they called the situation, based on their knowledge, nonsense, and AJM even gave a hypothetical that would cause him to SUPPORT the trade, but your witty response was a babbling post regarding their inability to win Super Bowls, which, as far as I know, only concerns you in this thread.

I believe you're profile is one of having fun; at the expense what you believe to be an Eagles' team that has not one a single championship (hence; your empty trophy case picture). If you weren't so spiteful, I probably would have told you this a long time among wolverine ...you're wrong about the one thing you pride yourself on ridiculing the Eagles about.
The Eagles trophy case does have NFL Championship Trophies! Since you like to focus on your historic accomplishments (5 - NFL Chapionships), here's a taste of Eagle history just for you ...
The first "Championship" game in the NFL was played indoors at Chicago Stadium due to a snowstorm in 1932. However, weather would never again play a force in the movement or the cancellation of a championship game. The weather has, nevertheless, played a crucial role in numerous championships over the years. The "Ice Bowl" is considered by many to be the "greatest game ever played", due to the aura and mystique surrounding Lambeau Field in the extreme frostbitten conditions on New Years Eve, 1967 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The Eagles captured three NFL titles from 1948 to 1960, earning consecutive crowns in 1948 and 1949 under head coach Earle “Greasy” Neale. His potent offensive squad starred future Hall of Fame members end Pete Pihos, halfback Steve Van Buren, and center Chuck Bednarik, who also played linebacker for the defensive unit.
Led by wide receiver Harold Carmichael and quarterback Ron Jaworski, Philadelphia played in Super Bowl XV in 1981 but lost to the Oakland Raiders. The Eagles qualified for the playoffs six times from 1988 to 1996, with lineups starring wide receiver Fred Barnett, quarterback Randall Cunningham, running backs Herschel Walker and Ricky Watters, and defensive end Reggie White.
As you must know by now, the Eagles lost Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005 to the New England Patriots.
By my calculation (and Eagle fans don't usually dwell in the past; maybe it's too painful :o ), the Eagles' Trophy case is far from empty -- we have at least three NFL Championship trophies; not to mention NFC Championship trophies).
I can only guess what your response to this breaking news will be wolverine. Viewing your traditional Posts, you couldn't have know any of this information.

Those uhhm Championships are not as good as Super Bowl. If the NFL thought those were as good as Super Bowls then they would have done something to keep the name the same. But the fact is Cowboys 5 Eagles 0. Your championships are not as good as a Super Bowl.
Sad attempt to skirt the point! What part of "Championship" do you not understand? Eagles 3 Championships!

What part of 0 Super Bowls dont you understand. If those Championships were as good as a Super Bowl then the Eagles would be known as 3 time Super Bowl champs but your not. Im right.
And 1960. Oh my that was like wow before my dad was even born. And again your championships are not as good as a Super Bowl.
