Rosenhaus did say that their relationship was misunderstood
"He's a playmaker, that's his label. They used to have strong safeties, but now they got another position: They're called playmakers." -Terence Newman on Roy Williams
I think the prepared statement is simply "evidence" that T.O. "tried" to get back and contribute to the team in '05. SOmehow, ROsenhaus will use the footage to convince some team to sign Terrell for big bucks next year. Just watch.
he is the perfect fit for the me,myself and i team.
what a disgrace and to have his agent there with him only adds to this soap opera we call the t.o story.

Whatever team signs him better put all kinds of clauses in the contract that let them get their money back if TO acts in completely unacceptable ways. Apparently he believes that a simple apology makes up for everything. . .money talks, words don't do too much when you've offended and hurt people, not to mention destroying a team, the way TO has.

Well it seems the NFLPA feels that his actions aren't that bad.
http://www.espn.com If the NFL Players Association has its way, Terrell Owens will have a shot at playing football again this season, a key union official told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
The players union will not only ask arbitrator Richard Bloch to reduce the financial penalty but will argue that Owens should be reinstated to the "exact status" he had as a player before his suspension.
"That status means that he reports to the practice facility, he goes to team meetings, he practices and, hopefully, he plays," the union source said. "True, we can't force the Eagles to activate him on game day and play him but we feel pretty strongly about our case."
Under the arbitration rules, Bloch cannot make Owens a free agent but if he reinstates the receiver, as the union asks, it could force the team's hand to release him, to avoid the distraction of Owens reporting for work every day.
Financially, the union will argue that the Eagles' four-game suspension of Owens for conduct detrimental to the team was excessive and, at the most, he should miss only one game check for this past weekend's game against the Redskins.
The union source said that when the Eagles notified the NFLPA in writing on Saturday, the team simply stated the Owens was being suspended only for the Redskins game.
"You can't then go out and add three more games after the fact," the union official insisted.
...it only seems logical :-p
