Default TO should play poker

Terrell Owens is asking to have his brand new mega contract renogiated by the Eagles but says "this is not about being greedy or selfish".

TO, if you can say that with a straight face, you should be playing poker man.

What a piece of [censored]. He signed a contract. He should honor it. You know what really stinks is that if they don't renegotiate it, he'll dog it next year and they'll be paying him that ridiculous amount to dog it. Or they can succumb to blackmail and over pay him.

His agent is good man. I read some quotes in the news from him and his arguments actually sounded reasonable! TO might do ok at the tables but his agent would Pwn.

Listen to this>....

The NFL got him out of the trade [to Baltimore]," Rosenhaus said. "They brokered a deal to the Eagles, but he had to take a sub-standard deal because he had no leverage."

"Everyone knows my former agent settled for a low-ball number because of my situation last season when Baltimore traded for me," Owens said. "He told me he couldn't get a cent more, knowing I deserved more than they gave me.

"They used their leverage to strong-arm us because they knew I wanted to leave Baltimore for Philadelphia, and they capitalized on it. I can't go for that now. It's not in me to do that."

According to Rosenhaus, the contract Owens signed "sounds great on paper, but in the first two years of the deal he is not even in the top ten highest paid receivers in the NFL."

I say he deserves it. He was pretty much everything any team could want in a receiver last year, and more.

I'm philosphically opposed to this line of thinking unless he agrees to rengotiate the contract downward if he has a substandard year.

He definitely deserves to make a lot of money, and probably a lot more than he's making now.

But, he signed a contract, and he should honor it. Otherwise, don't sign the damn thing.
