I already said I had been wrong on part of mine as well, if you'd bothered to read the rest of what I posted where I had the articles talking about it.
He was indeed allowed to seek other potential offers but the Ravens came through with an offer the Niners liked better than the one that Owens agent was getting so they dealt him there, as per the articles I posted.
Owens balked, refused to go there for the physical, and wouldn't agree to the trade and thus forced the Niners to basically back out of the deal, where the niners, in reality, got shafted cause they lost the #2 that Baltimore was goin to get, the Ravens got a 5 from the Eagles just for playing, and the Eagles got Owens from the Niners for some piss poor DE.
So, yes, I was wrong about the deal his agent and he had worked up for the Eagles, as I said, but like it was mentioned he blocked a trade to the Ravens, by refusing to go there after the Niners got a deal from them they liked.
