I beg to differ. TO is corroding the soul of the Eagles. He is a cancer and a distraction. Allow him to finish his job in Philly. :twisted:

Even with the neg press and the distractions he gives the Iggle's fan hope.
I will agree that TO on the roster but not there is the best of both worlds

Getting better and better.

It is getting better and better! Bad blood anybody? I love it. Many predicted the cancer, others diagnosed it, a few will suffer it. Great!

Eagles deny T.O. chance to play basketball
Owens extended offer to play for Kings’ summer league team

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Philadelphia Eagles receiver Terrell Owens won’t play for Sacramento’s summer-league team next week because the NFL club will not give permission.

Owens, the talkative All-Pro who’s embroiled in a contract dispute with the Eagles, had recent discussions with the Kings about another foray into basketball, his favorite sport.

But Kings spokesman Darrin May said Friday the franchise wouldn’t add Owens to its roster for the Las Vegas summer league unless the Eagles give their consent — something they did not do, given Owens’ value and contract status. The Kings’ first game is July 10.

Eagles president Joe Banner said through a team spokesman Friday night that they had not received a request from the Kings, but if they were to receive one, they would not allow Owens to play.

Owens, a 6-foot-3 shooting guard with a quick first step, was a backup on his college basketball team at Tennessee-Chattanooga. He played briefly for the USBL’s Adirondack Wildcats in the summer of 2002, while he was still with the San Francisco 49ers.

Owens caught 77 passes for 1,200 yards and 14 TDs in his first season with the Eagles, earning a spot in the Pro Bowl for the fifth straight year.

But after helping Philadelphia reach the Super Bowl last season, he stirred things up in his new home with his demand to re-negotiate the seven-year, $49 million deal he signed in March 2004 — and with his criticism of quarterback Donovan McNabb following the Eagles’ loss to the New England Patriots. He held out of the Eagles’ recent minicamps to underline his displeasure with his contract.

Also on Friday, Eagles officials dismissed a rumor that the team was considering trading Owens to the Oakland Raiders for receiver Jerry Porter. A high-ranking Eagles official told phillyBurbs.com that "It won't happen."

Owens has six years left on his seven-year contract and earned $9.17 million last year but wants a raise. The Eagles have been firm in their refusal to rework his contract, and his agent has said Owens may not report to training camp without a new deal.

While Owens won’t be in Las Vegas, rapper Master P — otherwise known as Percy Miller — will be on the Kings’ summer roster, May said.

Miller has pursued his NBA dreams with several teams since 1998, when he tried out for the Charlotte Hornets. He was waived by the Toronto Raptors in 1999, and he participated with the Denver Nuggets’ summer league team last year.

There's NO way Owens and Moss are going to be on the same team. When one of the player's writes a book called "Give me the Damn Ball" and the other is one of the most troublesome players for the NFL....I would'nt be surprised if the NFL somehow stopped the trade. :lol:

I like it, get TO out of the division, I think it good for us. We do get Oakland in November but then not again for a couple years. Pull the trigger AL.
