should've extended him long ago... or traded him him the year before that, if they didn't want to keep him.
being pissed off at T.O. for that s**t is like when a women is pissed off at another woman for f'ing her man.
The nflpa saved TO ass in that situation. Even the NFL ruled his agent messed up and missed the deadline. I agree though the FO was weak and should have cut ties with TO after 2002. Perhaps getting a 2nd prior to the 2003 draft would have allowed them to draft a replacement (Boldin maybe: 2nd rounder in '03 draft).
Yes the NFLPA saved his ass, he had no right to force a trade to where he wanted to go, he didn't have a No Trade clause, he should have went to Baltimore, but he had to get the NFLPA involved, and we ended up screwed, TO for Whiting and a 5th rd pick is laughable, the Baltimore package was the right one, we were screwed once the deal got voided, we had no leverage, TO would have whined no matter where he went if he didn't go to Philly.
No player should ever hold a team hostage, which is what TO did, I can't stand that POS, I'm so glad he is out of the league, and we never brought him back like some wanted. Owens can go to Hell. Hate his guts so much.
