Rumor from Extremeskins...Rosenhaus & Jerry agree on TO deal.

[JackMagist]

Wrong there. Remember that the Eagle sgave permission to seek a trading partner. Well documented. Rumor is probably BS, tho.

He has permission to seek a trade not work out a deal for after he is cut...that would still be tampering.

 

[Mash]

By the looks of it.......there is no such thing......its been happening for years in the NFL.....

Alot of deals are discussed and agreed upon in Indy before the player is even released.

When is the last time a team has been charged for tampering?

 

[Cowboys22]

They gave him permission to seek a trade. I highly doubt that means other teams can talk contract #'s with his agent in case he is released.

 

[Wheat]

listening to NFL Sirius this morning. Some caller did ask about T.O.

He CAN talk to other teams. They are attempting to trade him if they can. Not looking for much. Basically it comes down to two things.

#1. T.O. having a deal in place with that team
#2. Philly being cool with where he's going.

They mentioned Denver and KC as teams who have been talking with Philly.

 

[JackMagist]

TO is property of the Eagles, but they can him permission to seek a trade, so he and Rosenhaus can discuss contract parameters with any clubs interested.

We came to an agreement with Keyshawn Johnson on a revised contract before consumating the Joey Galloway trade just in case it didn't happen and he would've immediately signed after being released by the Bucs.

But I agree, crap rumour supreme.

In the Galloway/Keyshawn trade both parties had persission from the other team to work out a contract in order to consumate the deal. This is a different situation.

So who is going to tell? That pillar of integrity, Rosenhaus? T.O.? It isn't like no one knows what is going to happen to T.O. What are the Iggles asking for in trade?

Terrell Owens is an *** and he was unhappy with his contract in Philadelphia.

Why would he and his agent discuss any trade scenario without knowing what the new deal would pay him?

The primary reason to allow teams to talk to Owens is so they come to terms on what his new contract would be worth in the hopes some team would cough something up for the headcase.

Even if Keyshawn Johnson decides to holdout wanting a new deal, I want nothing to do with TO.

A line has to drawn somewhere.

I don't know,if that isn't tampering,i would like
to know the definition.At this point,i hope he does
sign in Dallas,so far this FA,has turned out to be a
case for blue balls. Lol.

He was given permission to seek a trade was he not? Thats not tampering, but in this case should be.

I really hate to say this guys, asn you know how I feel about TO. If you dont, where thehell have you been, you dont have time for me to tell you how I really feel about TO. But I think we are gunna sign him. I fear this and hoep I am wrong, cause that 1-2 years with no football at all will be hell.

Yikes, Yikes, Yikes.

...about a trade if the team gives permission as the Eagles have. You cannot circumvent the CBA by agreeing to a deal in advance of the player being released. The player is then not honouring the terms of his contract with his present employer and has already paved the way for his exit without compensation to the team who owns his rights.

If the Eagles choose to release T.O. and forfeit any compensation that's their choice, but T.O., his agent or any other team cannot make that choice for the Eagles.

A contract signed minutes after T.O. is released would definitely raise eyebrows and start a legitimate rumour of "tampering".

From ESPN Insider:

Whither exiled wide receiver Terrell Owens, who will almost certainly be released next week by the Philadelphia Eagles, before the first $5 million installment of two bonuses totaling $7.5 million come due?

It's still a long shot, but don't rule out the Dallas Cowboys, a team whose curiosity level has risen at least a little bit in the past few weeks.

Coach Bill Parcells has always loved players who work hard and, for whatever problems Owens had off the field during his stops in San Francisco and Philadelphia, no one has ever questioned his unwavering work ethic. Even in practices, Owens goes hard every snap. As for the baggage he brings with him, well, Parcells has dealt with such situations in the past. And, let's face it, Dallas could use another difference-maker on the offensive side of the ball, and Owens still has big-play skills.

Owens is always going to affect the way a secondary game-plans, and he forces opponents to play a half-step deeper off the ball. The ancillary benefit for the Cowboys would be more running room for tailback Julius Jones, who figures to remain the offensive centerpiece for 2006.

Any pursuit of Owens by the Cowboys would raise questions about the future of wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, and that is an interesting part of the equation. It's difficult to imagine two players with the egos that Johnson and Owens possess co-existing in the same lineup. Clearly, there would have to be some adjustments. But the trio of Johnson, Owens and veteran speedster Terry Glenn would be a formidable one. And it isn't as if Owens and Johnson are similar receivers in style, so there might actually be a more complementary dimension than people realize.

There is also this to consider: Having voided the final year of his contract, Johnson is entering the final season of his deal, and is due a $1 million roster bonus later this month and a $1.5 million base salary for 2006. He has quietly suggested to people for the second offseason in a row that he'd like an extension or adjustment that upgrades his compensation level.

With the 10-year veteran set to turn 34 at about the time training camp opens, it might be tough for the Cowboys to invest more money in him. Then again, Owens turns 33 in December and, given his inactivity in 2005, when the Eagles essentially iced him for the final two months of the season, some teams will be reluctant to pay him very much.

One thing is certain: Sometime next week, whether the Eagles somehow find a trade partner or are forced to release Owens, the veteran wide receiver is poised to embark on the next chapter of his NFL career. Chances are, it doesn't include the Cowboys, but don't write them off yet.

 

[BrassCowboy]

They can't. TO is still property of the Eagles. That would be against league guidelines. I think it's a crap rumour.

it is not against the rules because the Eagles allowed TO and his agent to find a suitable trade. I can imagine "in case you are released" talk occurs as well.

 

[SouthernStar]

I was just listening to the ticket and didnt hear anything..

Oh and extreme skins is the biggest homer site ever...What a bunch of knuckleheads there, every time I go there just to see what is happening in Commander land there are some of the most ridiculous threads and comments ever...

Yeah, I go there for the jokes and funny photos. It's a "double-bonus". Not only do I read some funny stories, but I get to laugh at a lot of football posts, too......

 

[SouthernStar]

it is not against the rules because the Eagles allowed TO and his agent to find a suitable trade.

Exactly. And that was made public.
Many times, teams give other teams permission to talk with a player and it's never made public.
No team is going to tamper. It's too easy to get caught.

 

[Dallas31]

They can't. TO is still property of the Eagles. That would be against league guidelines. I think it's a crap rumour.

my thoughts exactly


that would be tampering with a capital "T"

 

[Mash]

What would be ironic is......

If we do sign TO.....i wonder what KJ would be thinking? ala.....Antonio Bryant?

Once TO is signed.......he will be the starter.....KJ will be looking for a jersey to throw at Bill......KJ will soon understand what AB felt all along.........

In Bill we trust!.........bring TO here..........if that is what the Tuna wants......

Eagles give Rosenhaus permission to seek trade for T.O.

January 10, 2006

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles have given agent Drew Rosenhaus permission to seek a trade for Terrell Owens, though it's unlikely a team would give up players or draft picks for the star receiver.



http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-eagles-owens&prov=ap&type=lgns

It's NOT tampering.

 

[Mash]

Once again.....

no such thing as tampering in the NFL.............it happens all the time....

Has a team ever been charged for tampering?.......

Look....the 49's and Bronco's......messed with the cap.....slap on the wrist by Tags.....

Tags is just waiting for Jerry to mess up............rules have been created from Cowboys actions....

Tags will act on tampering against the Cowboys......even though nfl teams have been doing it for years....

 

[Rush 2112]

Even if it is tampering it happens every day.

Sexton/BP lunch at combine last year.

They weren't talking about Rivera and Ferguson before FA started?

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Key knows the deal... its the last SB run... he just wants a little extra cash... he buys the program that BP and JJ are selling...
